Records show Shah’s mother also contacted police, saying she’d lost $36,000 in
the scam, but declined to press charges. Four other metro Atlanta men filed one
theft by deception report on Shah, citing similar lost amounts in ticket purchases.
There’s a sucker born every minute!
Probably a psychopath —
“You were dumb to let me rip you off like that. You should thank me because I taught you a valuable lesson. Maybe now you won’t be stupid and let people steal your money. Seriously, I should charge you for this lesson. The least you could do is thank me.”
I imagine the culprit will turn out to be one or more of the big three: drugs, women and gambling.
I’m a little confused by this. Was he selling, at market prices, tickets and access that he didn’t have? Were he and the others involved in a scalping conspiracy?
And I wonder how many similar scams are going on.
People who fall for these sports scams are so stupid.
They should be investing with us Nigerian princes.
So, the question that is unanswered here is, was this a scam where he claimed to have tickets and didn't, or was this a scam where he said he could make the tickets (high-tech printing business) and didn't deliver? In other words, are these people truly victims (albeit stupid victims), or are they co-conspirators?

If the cops want to find him, they probably should start checking flights from H-J or Charlotte to whatever third world country his people came from. He probably booked it in his real name using a foreign issued passport.
