There once was a family who owned a large estate. They had a large mansion, horse stables, an orchard, a farm, and more.
One day, they decided to sell the entire estate, so they held an open house for their estate sale. Many visitors from far and wide came to view the property. Some of the slaves of the property wanted to inform the visitors about the mistreatment of the family and others in charge of the estate, but were too afraid to say so directly.
The word got out and some of the concerned visitors discretely reported their suspicions to higher authorities. In the meantime, the unscrupulous family sold their estate, and, being greedy money grabbers, gutted it of everything valuable first.
Fortunately, when the higher authorities investigated everything, charges for this, too, were brought against them. They were tried and convicted. They paid restitution and served time behind bars as a deterrent to anyone else who would think of such a thing.
