There's nothing to admonish. Nobody knows why you are refusing to acknowledge or make good on your bad deals, so we are left to speculate. You're pulling low-level swindles against people who otherwise would be customers or trading partners, and just like a degenerate gambler who's lost everything, you're trying to pull yourself back up by running a series of small scams. You can't make good on your own deals gone bad... because... you... can't... afford... to.
