Either that or it’s a decoy and they’ll be going after something else while she’s otherwise occupied and all her friends are busy worrying about how to help her. Perhaps even use this to make another member of the Mane Six an easier target, so busy worrying about Applejack that they forget to worry about themselves, making it that much easier to, for example, strongarm Fluttershy into parting with a rare and financially lucrative creature, or trick Rarity into signing a contract that obligates her to provide them exact duplicates of all the costumes she makes for Sapphire Shores, or make Rainbow Dash throw some races (and then, if they could do so without risk of implicating themselves, use that to blackmail her further).

Amazing as always, can’t wait for more :3

Yeah right.
 
I bet they’ve got some loophole or interest rate going. Applejack will never see her farm again… unless it’s from the inside of a milking stall.
