Chandler Al Kuwaiti
NYTimes-On Tuesday, the Queens man who said he was a sultan and called himself Chandler Sabah al Sabah Dantata of Kuwait, will be sentenced in State Supreme Court in Manhattan to up to 15 years in prison for scheming to defraud two women out of more than $100,000. The man, a United States citizen who was born Benjamin Maybanks, told the women that he was a diplomat who could not access his vast fortune because of turbulence in the Middle East. He wondered, could they help him out of a jam? And they did.

This gentleman is brilliant, Not only did he claim to be a member of Kuwaiti royal family but also a respected Harvard-educated neurosurgeon, another sad detail is that one of the ladies borrowed money on her credit card!
And They say Americans don't know their Geography! Mr. Chandler Al Sabah knew his Politics as well.
He could have called himself Joey, then people would believe him.
Stupid Americans? How can you say that when you live in a country so saturated with americana? You drive American cars, speak English, pursue an American higher education, eat at McDonalds Starbacks and KFC, listen to American music, watch American tv, blog on a site developed by a San Francisco corporation, and spend currency pegged to the US dollar? Stupid Americans? No. Stupid you. snap back to reality.
first of all, it is spelled Starbucks. and no, we dont drive Americna cars, mostly european and japanese cars. american cars are too shitty and cheap tu survive in our environment. and so waht if we eat at MacDonald's, it doesnt mean that we all aspire to be americans, and just so oyu know, the english language originates from the U.K. ;-) and there are far more British schools in Kuwait that there are american ( only 3- UAS, ASK, AIS)
so before you start yapping away i suggest you get your facts straight
oh and i forgot to mention: so yeah we might be using utilizing software that has been pioneered in the USA but it was developed in India where labor is cheaper. and no, the Kuwaiti Dinar is not dependant on the value of the US dollar, as a matter of fact, every time the price of KUWAITI oil rises, the value of the dollar decreases when compared to the Euro.
but no, im not going to call americans stupid, i feel too sorry for them to start calling them names.
