A chareidi resident of Bnei Brak who is employed in the Israel Diamond Exchange in Ramat Gan could have become wealthy, but he preferred to do the correct thing and earn his points in the World to Come.
The dealer saw a small bag near the diamond exchange as he was about to head home. When he looked inside he was surprised to find it contained diamonds. He immediately took it back to the diamond exchange and handed it over to the appropriate officials along with a detailed description of where he found it.
The following day, a son of one of the merchants turned to officials to explain that sadly, he lost a bag containing diamonds, citing the exact location and type of bag. The diamonds were returned to rightful owner thanks to the honesty of the Bnei Brak resident, who received a great deal of praise from exchange employees after they learned of the incident.

While not wanting to take away from the report of someone following halacha, he probably would have been caught when he tried to fence the diamonds. While they were legally “lost”, the moment someone else claimed possession they became “stolen”. “Finders keepers, losers weepers” is NOT the law in any legal system.
It depends who the founder was if he is a chiloni then the propaganda of the media will be that everyone should lern from him and become like him but if he is a chariedi the no propaganda will be made of it so no one will become like him.
Don’t delude yourself in thinking that these are simple NISYANOS. KOL HAKOVAD for honesty and integrity.
#2- How and if a person writes an intelligent English paragraph, depends if he goes to school and gets some basic education. Clearly, you never got very much of that.
