I didn't do that, but I know many who did (like one commenter above) and they exposed their savings to a risk and they got hit. That could have been the end of it and it would have been a sad story, but maybe a good lesson.

That's irrelevant to Peter's unethical behavior though. If you trip because you didn't tie your laces running to the ice cream van, you don't "deserve" people kicking you while you're down. That doesn't make any sense.
