Johng,
Thank you for your comments. And I do want you to understand the pieces of the puzzle. Please give a little more thought about digging deeper into the lotto scam. It may be much more influential than you realize.
One thing I want to mention is that TV show Viceland on the Vice network. According to the creative director Spike Jonze that unlike the HBO content, Viceland would be "far from objective [reporting]". I have been on a reality TV show and very little of it was "real". There were set up scenes, pre-picked characters, multiple takes from multiple camera angles and even impromptu scripting. And that does not include any of the post production editing and final version for public consumption. Viceland is targeted to millennials who want strong view points - not objective reporting. Please keep that in mind.
