    A group of over ten individuals helped a man rise from the bottom to become a big boss in a few years. After he got the position, he turned his back on them and refused to acknowledge their help. He has done many dirty things such as sleeping with other people's wives, making others pay money, putting people in detention, and even electrocuting them.
