on cable recently about this con job (primarily in NYC) that has been perpetuated against unknowing immigrants thinking they were buying into the "American Dream" that turned into an all consuming nightmare they couldn't get out of....to the point that many were so ashamed at not being able to care for their families that they committed suicide so their insurance would pay off the debt and free their wives from that burden and go on with their lives. It was pretty rough to watch their lives crumble like that.
