Add in commercial free cable TV. That’s how they billed it many years ago. One big con job. Now they got people to pay for their commercials which have already been paid for.

Biggest? Quiz show scandals isn't even a roundoff error on some of them.

And the list left off Theranos - a multi-billion dollar scam on blood testing technology which never worked.

Anyone have any thoughts to how the climate change hoax will be resolved?
Maybe it’s just me, looking from my current perspective, but I think it just falls by the wayside, and is erased.

Ponzi had a good idea for real. In NYC he proposed and tried to sell a book where businesses would buy ads in a telephone directory. Other cities had it but NYC didn’t. He had no takers. Later it came to life as “The Yellow Pages.”

Thanks for posting this.
The naivetes needs to be knocked out of a lot of people.

I have had up close up and personal contact with 2 diffefent scammers, one from USA one from Canada. I also had lesser experience with with 2 more .
They all had a common characteristic, very nice people On the surface nothing offensive about them.

Got a little insight into their motivations when one was asked why he had to always be cheating and lying when he could make himself a millionaire legally in his business.

His answer was “There might be something wrong with me , but I would rather make a dishonest dime , than make a honest dollar.” And he meant it and he lived it. -Tom
