The Suhs' story is definitely unfortunate, but if I had that much money invested I'd sure as hell make sure it was insured somehow. True, Wells Fargo was cold about it, but it was also the Suhs' fault for not investing their money intelligently and losing their passport in the first place.

You have to read the fine print and use your brain when you're investing, else risk ending up like the Suhs'.
