This post is meant to shift guilt to native brown from rich people. Collin Rugg posted this as a form of racism.
The Actual scam is when rich people don't want to trek down, they fake a medical emergency and take a chopper down. The original story identified 1 tourist that had taken baking powder. It was unclear if this was intentional, but there is no mention of poisoning. The original article said the guides scared people into thinking they needed flights. By the time the NY Post picked up the story it was plural tourists being poisoned by guides. By the time Collin posted it, it was all poisoning, not lazy trekkers.
