American Man Loses All His Money in Ukraine to Some Mail Order Bride Scheme



Fox News - Dolego, who ran for Arizona governor just last year, had traveled to Ukraine this spring to do research for an engineering project and look for a wife. He says he met a woman named Yulia online and, hoping to marry her, went to her hometown of Chernivtsi. She never showed up. With nowhere to go and no money left, Dolego spent days roaming the streets of Chernivtsi along with other homeless men until he was picked up by social workers and taken to a shelter... Yulia, a 29-year-old doctor by training, said that after she found out what happened to Dolego, she paid him a visit to express her sympathy. “I went to the hospital and he started hugging me: ’Oh Yulia, oh Yulia!’ I was shocked,” she said. “He thought we were getting married.” Dolego confirmed that she visited him and he believes they could still be together. “We seemed to hit it off,” Dolego said. “She wants to continue with the relationship.”

Wait a minute, wait a minute, putting aside the fact that Dolego here just plain seems confused about how mail order brides work (bro, the word mail is in the title, they ship 'em to you FedEx, 5-7 business days later, you got her, all in the comfort of your Arizona home, not walking around all homeless and drab in the Ukraine), lets talk about this little gem:

Passionate about engineering, he claims to have designed a “lifesaving” method to keep ships from sinking and aircraft from disintegrating during a crash. He says he sold his house, truck and motorbike and left for Ukraine to further study the method here.

That's gotta be Kramer's bladder system, right?


Say what you want about Kramer, the guy was an absolute idiot (I mean, if you're testing a bladder system, you drop a barrel of oil with the blader lining it inside, you don't just drop a giant ball of oil, everyone knows that), but at least he had the forsight to realize flying all the way over to Russia, getting his bank accounts frozen, and trevasing the barren lands of the Ukraine looking for an internet wife, was no way to go about testing his invention. You couldn't just find an office building in Phoenix to spill some oil out of?

PS: Things aren't going to work out between you and Yulia, she was just being nice...You're a fucking homeless man in the Ukraine with pneumonia, you're not exactly a catch.
