According to what was stated on the "Nasperd" website, the story of this saying carries a lot of wonder, intelligence, sophistication, and cunning at the same time, as it revolves around an American man who, along with his family, was suffering from extreme poverty, as his condition aroused pity due to the severity of the poverty.
One day, an idea came to his mind that would lift him out of the state of poverty from which he was suffering and change his condition for the better. He decided to publish in American newspapers an advertisement entitled “If you want to be rich, send just one dollar to PO Box No. (...) and you will be rich.” “.
As usual, people believed this lie, so millions of people began sending one dollar to his mailbox in an attempt to obtain the promised wealth, especially since one dollar is inexpensive for the average person. But this man's cunning in obtaining wealth from just one dollar facilitated the process and made it go the way he wanted, as it was only a very small sum.
_After a while, the man got what he wanted. He made millions of dollars from the messengers, so he became one of the richest people. Then he published another advertisement after obtaining millions bearing the title “This is how you become rich,” explaining the method he followed to obtain millions.
After publishing the advertisement, people objected to his behavior, and filed a case against him in the courts accusing him of fraud and deception, but the court responded to them with the famous saying that does justice to the intelligence of the man with this mentality, “The law does not protect fools.”
