JFC. That’s not true at all.
They got away with for so long it because they played the part. They weaved truth into the lies, walked, talked, and spent like they had money to burn. They were also at least somewhat attractive, which is the main driver. I’ve seen many beautiful dark skinned women around here (Chicago), but even I couldn’t be as manipulative as these two women, and I’m a decent liar; not like I have cause to at the moment.
Those women at least bordered on the psychopathic, with such little regard for others and willing to ruin anyone if it made them successful.
One should note thay the vast majority of the scammed were male. If the ladies were guys instead, their chances of success would be much lower, I think simply because of male competition within elite circles and that the scammed had been swayed by appearance and apparent competence.
It’s some what you say, some that people were looking to support a woman CEO outside of all sense because politically correct wokism.
