Heh, maybe the 419 scam is continuing! The long con! :P
Go to a bank. Get a job there and work there for years and years learning the place from the inside, and also learning how all of the processes and procedures are done, earning everyone's trust and respect, and simultaneously building up a 401k with matching while also going up the career ladder and taking more and more positions with more responsibility and more pay until one day you finally decide that it's over and walk out the door like nothing ever happened!
As I read it though the point was
> Although they have not met each other again since,
> she continued to provide him with financial assistance
> until he completed his degree a few years ago and got a job in the American oil sector.
