Friend 1: I don't think I have ever seen you take the bus to work. Is your car in the shop?
Friend 2: No. I had to sell my car. I got involved with an unscrupulous investment banker and invested all my money in a "no-fail" scheme. Turns out, the banker wasn't a banker at all but was actually a con-man. As soon as he had all my money, he disappeared and I never heard from him again. Needless to say, this left me with almost nothing.
Friend 1: Ouch. Sorry to hear that you were taken to the cleaners.
