May God deliver man from Must get rich syndrome at all cost.

No one can tell me if this guys can afford to pay between 300k to 600k that they are suffering

Its pure lie

Its greed and lack of contentment on there part

That's hard to believe.

The maths doesn't work, if they sell the people for as much as $5,000, how does the Libyan profit from that, seeing as they're selling people for as low as $250.

This is obviously a lie, probably being spread by an Arab, in order to deflect and spread blame - a common trait they like to deploy, while lambasting white people for being racist.
