The person that sold her the inflated papers, was motivated by greed and counting on other's stupidity. And they found someone. They say "There's a sucker born every minute." The woman who made a business decision that showed she had no idea what she was doing, fails at her business because she didn't do her due diligence in learning how to be successful at her business. She was just irresponsible, naive, a failure right out of the gate.
