الطفل المليونير
هل تذكرون قصة فيلم "ريتشي ريتش" للمثل ماكولي كالكين (وحدي في البيت) حيث استطاع طفل انقاذ شركة والده من السرقة بواسطة انتحال شخصية مليونير وشراء الشركة من قبل احد العاملين فيها.. على الرغم من مرور 13 عاما على عرض الفيلم الا ان قصته لا تزال مثيرة جدا وبالذات عندما اصبحت واقعية!! ففي بريطانيا عاش صبي (13 عاما) حياة استمتع فيها بكل صور الرفاهية بعد أن حصل على نحو 370 ألف يورو من عمليات تجارة وهمية عبر شبكة الإنترنت.
وقالت صحيفة "ديلي ميرور" إن الصبي كان يبيع بضاعة وهمية عبر الشبكة الدولية لمدة ثلاثة أعوام ليحقق بذلك ثروة هائلة مكنته من ارتداء الملابس الفاخرة واستخدام سيارة ليموزين كبيرة في تنقلاته الداخلية. وأضافت الصحيفة أن الصبي استلهم فكرة الاستمتاع بحياته "كمليونير" من خلال مجموعة من الأفلام منها "ريتشي ريتش" و "امسك بي إن استطعت" للمثل الأمريكي ليوناردو دي كابريو.
ووفقا للصحيفة فقد سافر الصبي في "رحلات عمل" إلى باريس واسكتلندا كما أستأجر بعض المكاتب في بريطانيا وكان رب عمل لعدد من الموظفين. وعندما كشف أحد الزبائن حيل الصبي الصغير قال له ببساطة: "لم يكن بوسعي فعل شيء آخر فأنا تحت السن القانونية". ويمثل الصبي الذي يبلغ الآن 16 عاما أمام احدى المحاكم بالقرب من لندن.
