We like to collect easy money which is called corruption back home. Many of us think they will not caught and are very smart. Long time ago someone used to work in toll and he sent home over 50-60 thousands of dollars and bought nice car with cash but he got deported just before completing his undergraduate program. You know, parents were always proud of them until they knew the truth, even the corrupt  parent would not be happy about stealing (corruption is okay but not stealing, that is our culture)

Yes, it is a smart move like killing the whole golden egg laying hen to get all at once.  It is inherited quality, not having a long term vision but a very short term.
