Notice that, in this example, an attacker could trap the
contract into an unusable state by causing the ``richest``
to be a contract that has a fallback function which consumes
more than the 2300 gas stipend. That way, whenever ``send``
is called to deliver funds to the "poisoned" contract, it
will cause execution to always fail because there is not
enough gas to finish the execution of the fallback function.
