Liam had been stewing since seeing the Instagram post. Mark, the “consultant,” lounging on a yacht, captioned with a boast about a successful deal. Liam knew Mark’s “clients” were mostly retirees hoping for a quick buck in crypto. He felt a hot flush crawl up his neck. He texted Mark, “Fancy a round of golf tomorrow?” The reply was immediate: “Wouldn’t miss it, buddy!” The next day, on the pristine green, Liam lined up a shot, deliberately aiming for the water hazard. He took a long, slow swing, feeling the satisfying *thwack* as the ball sailed through the air.
