    WOW! Carrying around $14,000 anywhere will get you robbed! How stupid can you be, and if it was a legal dealing than the person should have gotten a certified check to protect himself! Can we say stupid!

    She should have done this kind of exchange with a police office present, you can trust people these days. Especially not with $14000.00
