They killed the cat because he couldn't get them the money--but waiting would have gotten them the money. Now they'll never get the money....

It's like some sick "killing the golden goose" story. Or tales of debtor's prison back in the 19the century. You lock someone up so they can't work and pay off their debts which they're locked up for. Whoever made this kafkaesque decision, bilking the organization out of their money and giving a lie to their name was not only cruel, thoughtless and inhumane, but a moron!
