do you want to call? I said for what? They said we
wouldn't leave you until you give us money. I said how
much? They said 250. I was even begging them saying
where will I get that type of money from? I said ok let
me pay 100. They said no. Later one of them now said
do you understand what we are saying? We are asking
for 250 million? I said where will I get that kind of
money from, that I don't have that money and I have
never seen that kind of money before"she said
