Dangerous Zeros

Bankers, politicians and self-appointed wealth
creators sell the idea that digital zeros have real
value for everyone.
Millions, billions, trillions, quadrillions:
000,000,000,000,000,000, ad infinitum.
Personal experience proves that their promises
are hollow. Zeros are dangerous.
For the brilliant bankers son they are
playthings, until the meltdown of Lehman
Brothers threatens him with ruin.
Ejected from his rich mans ivory tower, Fate
destroys his confidence and credibility, injects
serious personal risk from unwanted criminal
links, and launches him on a one-way trip to total
wipe-out.
He fights back to reclaim his personal
credibility and sanity. Renewed courage drives
him to rebuild the good name of his family bank,
if only he can clear the personal debris that is
clouding his future.
The bankers son has learned that in the drama
of life, money is never the star, only a prop.
What is enough? Sufficient for what we need
to avoid temptations that are more than we can
afford. Zeronimo,
