Pickleball makes people lose their minds. Stay out of the kitchen.

As Grubbs' victims demand their former friend be slung in jail, they are left wondering how a retired AT&T worker with an affable, bumbling and God-fearing demeanor could have pulled off such an extraordinary ruse.

If swindlers looked and acted like swindlers, they wouldn't be very successful ones. This ain't TV Land, you know.

Affinity fraud - Pickleball affinity.

He's not a Smiling 'psychopath'. He's a Smiling 'con man'.

The smile is their weapon that separates the people from their money. With his smile, he needs no gun and the promises made, make the take even larger than one who uses a gun in most thefts.

I worked at a chemical manufacturing plant in the ‘80s. Half the people in our division were invested in a fund run by a guy in Florida. Buy-in was $20,000. He guaranteed 5% return per month. Every investor received a statement each month showing their investments and interest and account worth, and it increased by 5% every month.

For a few years.

“ Now, Ponder describes his erstwhile friend as an ‘a**hole’ and a ‘psychopath’.

He is not the only one.

Grubbs, of Brookville, Indiana, allegedly ensnared hundreds of people and many of his close friends in an $47.5million fraud in which he lured investors into pumping hundreds of thousands of dollars into his pickleball business.”

This guy could make it in Congress someday !
