Woman cries over NRC crash
She cried, clutched her head, wiped her face, and at several points clasped her hands together as if pleading. On-screen text reads, "NRC, why? God have mercy on me," while she asks viewers whether they participated in NRC and whether anyone has received updates.
Her most painful admission, repeated throughout the clip, is that her husband's money was gone and she could not bring herself to tell him. She also called out the person who brought her into the scheme.
