It's morally wrong to allow a sucker to keep his money.

Summary

This quote, often attributed to famous American gambler and poker player Amarillo Slim, suggests that it is morally questionable to let someone who is easily deceived or gullible hold onto their money or continue making unwise financial decisions. It implies a belief that taking advantage of someone's naÃ¯vetÃ© can be justified to prevent them from suffering further financial losses. However, this quote raises ethical debates regarding fairness, exploitation, and the responsibility individuals have towards one another.
