I do know people like that. Due to family jobs, I have met, and am friends with people who have pulled themselves up from incredible depths. I agree. Takes guts.

But it *is* ingenuity. The planning and execution of something like that couldn't be done without a brain, and an ability to see things as 'you can do them', not as you'd like to do them. That particular trait seperates us poor from the filthy rich. And if you think it doesn't take bollocks, I suggest you try it. Takes a gutsy person to even think about it.

Look at it this way, and don't just shout me down : If someone offered you £53 million pounds to kidnap three people, you wouldn't do it? I bet you'd at the very least have to think about it...
