slapout Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 It would not surprise me if the money used to buy these numbers was obtained illigally in the first place. ''This may be a way to get something for nothing'' I wonder if anyone checks as to the source of these funds, is it from a government employee or some emensely wealthy individual in the private sector? Was tax paid on this money, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a hotel where in the parkinggarage you'll see a whole row of the most expensive cars (no Camry's or Benzes) and they all have the same licenseplates as the 6 million B numbers.

PomPolo Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I'm probably in the minority but I think it's a shrewd move look at all the publicity the companies that bought them already have and people are probably trying the numbers already!

Must be many vain brain dead people with to much money to waste. Wouldn't their decision to spend their own money where they wish fall into the category of "their business"without running the risk of hypocritically being called brain dead? It's probably safe to assume that the fact that they have got money to spend in large quantities indicates that they are, indeed, not brain dead.

IAMHERE Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 So if some rich person has a phone with 2 sims, is he supposed to buy two lucky numbers or use only one of the sim slots?
