Now I believe what people are saying about chris_grey2 is true, Mr Chris you are indeed a man of your words, you have changed life’s including mine. Thanks chris_grey2 for your kindness I now have alot to pay off my debt I'll not stop trading with your company platform

Our country is so irresponsible that a guy has to literally act like their father and ban then from buying stuff because of how they behave when they have it. Other countries didn't ban alcohol during lockdowns, because addicts die when they are suddenly cut off

Yeah the billionaire president did them bad there
