Chee Bye Sinkie are like that one, no matter what position they hold and for how long.

Every little thing wants to 'gain' and reap advantage whether be it monetary or otherwise.

It a matter of 'want to catch or not'

If want, almost every mother fucker Sinkie be they in 'silver' service or private can be caught.
