It would have been valuable to Shaikh if he had someone he trusted who could counsel him to just chill and not shoot himself in the foot. What happened to him at YouSendIt doesn't seem fair to me, but sometimes life is that way. Now he could learn from his experience and give it another go. Good luck to Shaikh and his family.
I get the impression from the story that his second wife was trying to give him exactly that sort of counsel, but he didn't listen. If so, the moral of that story is, when someone you trust advises you to just chill and not shoot yourself in the foot, listen to her.
