When it comes to financial crimes, what they call white-collar crimes, the Frum community has a higher percentage of crime than other communities. I was dumbstruck. I didn't know what to say. How do I justify Frum people stealing and lying and acting in all kinds of immoral ways? The Aicha of Yeshayahu, how does it happen that everyone became corrupt? I wasn't going to pay $20. So, I found this Israeli guy who has someone who can turn back the odometer. He hooks it up and he's turning it back and it breaks. He says, "Don't worry, I work with somebody. He'll steal a similar odometer from another car and install it and we turn it back to the right mileage." He only charged me 50 bucks. I saved $150. And the other two guys are going, "Uh, sh-." And I'm watching this scene in shul on Shabbos Mincha in front of the Aron Kodesh. And he's speaking with pride how he ripped off the lease company, stole somebody's odometer to save $150. There was a time when Jews used to die for what we believe in. And now you can buy a Jew for $150.
