I had conversation with a former well known business personality in a famous sports club. He used to be in high places in the govt and in business. Reason? He was a friend of the top honcho of the land. He became chief of high profile govt offices, including a financial institution. He also had his own business.
He was the friend of the new and outgoing top honcho. The incoming had great dislike for the outgoing. However, he made the mistake of having the birthday of the old man celebrated within the premises of his office. And then somebody made a gossip about the punctuation mark.
In a few months time, his business was to be closed by a regulator who was his friend and colleague in a multinational. The latter could not do anything to help him. He was to be even charged with plunder. (The top honcho was unforgiving as he watched a movie as the guy was crying not be charged with plunder) His business was good. It is closed now. Victim of politics and bloated ego that does not have any end. Good thing for him the new top honcho was removed too with charges of plunder.
Lesson: never play games with giants for you could be crushed.
Pag nanakot ka ng plunder, maplunder case ka rin...
