I was thinking that too! After all was said and done. He could have just paid for an oil tanker with the bank's money, gotten another company to do the minning in North Korea and remained a partner in the bank, the football club and the Swiss company that held the mineral rights.

That is not as easy but there are channels to load/off load oil off shore to avoid embargoes but he probably needed more time to set it up. He is just very experienced gambler. Would love to meet him in person and pick his brain a part in an conversation. He clearly knows a few things you can put to use lol

Yeah but that would actually be an actual work. Con men has a psychological condition that they won't be proud if something comes honestly and is only interested in the scamming and convincing part.

Have you ever seen " the big short?"

But was he thou?

You just saved me eighteen minutes. Here I thought someone was finally about to expose it. A maritime based empire of financial oligarchy headquartered in the City of London with satellites around the world such as Frankfurt, Brussels, Hong Kong and Wall Street, and organized as a system of private Central Banks exercising complete control over the various world currencies via a speculation-friendly floating exchange rate financial-monetary system. What’s your favorite type of whale? Thank you for the time-saver, sir.

Wait til you find out what the International Monetary Fund is doing

@@eftheusempire the IMF and the World Bank and the World Economic Forum are all entities of the financial system. A British Empire, not an American one. How’s that “Special Relationship” between the United Kingdom and her former colonies working out? Through the exercise of that “Special Relationship,” the United States acts as the big, dumb muscular giant to the brains of the British (more accurately Anglo-Dutch) Empire. “The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled is convincing the world he didn’t exist. The second greatest trick the Devil ever pulled is convincing the world that he is the good guy.”

How did he get a 10 million dollar studio

They are supposed to do due diligence. The problem is international politics. It's a hassle and can take years to get the information needed from places like the middle east or North Korea. Even China deals can be different to verify. I know a billion dollar steel importer from China to the US. You have to place your orders two years in advance and the manufacturing company won't even talk to you during some parts of the year. Like they ghost you for months every year just for Chinese new year and other "holidays" . Deals at that level are handshakes and promises that can stretch on for a long time before money starts moving around. I know some of the supply chain for a major hardware store in particular that's still trickle selling nuts and bolts being delivered from a deal that started 10+ years ago. The operation is large enough that the logistics of moving billions of dollars worth of screws to distribute across thousands of stores takes years of planning and 1000s of employees. If a rep from that company offers you a good deal, you might not be able to visit China, inspect the supply chain and verify the offer for months, if ever. And your expected delivery might be 2+ years before the freighter comes. Global supply chains operate on a lot of trust and shady deals with companies in parts of the world that can be difficult to access and verify. But at that scale that's just how things work in some industries. There's a lot of room for "fake it till you make it" and the successful ones can start a sale chain before they even secure a supplier. The downside is if they don't eventually follow through, they either end up in prison for fraud, or assassinated quietly in "an accident" because they crossed the wrong person. And that's all I can say on a public forum.

@@Vincent_Beers Damn.... so much trust and believe? This sounds shaky AF. So basically nobody is really sure what is real and what not and everybody hopes for the best? That's bad. But thanks for the detailled reply.

Blinded by the gold

I don't think it's so much that we're actually dumber, we just don't use our brain as much as we should. Back in the old days, if you couldn't remember that one movie that one guy was in, or you couldn't figure out how a piece of equipment works, you have to just figure that shit out on your own. Now we think for about a third of a second before we just ask our phone.

dunno man, at least Ponzi kept the scam going by moving money around by actually getting more people in creating an illusion that there was something going on. This guy DUPED the world basically by silver tonguing promises of money made out of smoke in exchange for very tangible stuff. Imagine you are selling computers, and then some guy fresh out of jail for robbery tells you he'll pay three times the price for them next week if you allow them to take the computers because he's got bad credit and banks won't grant them credit of any kind. Of course you would say no. This guy basically did that at large, and not only you give the equipment away trusting his word, but you also granted him half of your house. This guy could probably pick up any girl at a bar.

And that guy who sold an island to suckers only to find it inhospitable

I don't consider Ponzi to be a true con artist. His plan was actually sound... It was just the amounts that were off. Technically he wasn't completely bluffing. To put it in cards terms, he had a great hand and a good plan... but he couldn't keep it up.

@@jacobmcdorman5552 So he was a smarter conman, he still conned people out of their money

@@DrBarbequeSauce True enough. My reasoning was merely that the initial idea of the IRCs was actually a legitimate form of arbitrage. So Ponzi's scheme could legitimately make money. It was merely the amounts required that made it insane. Perhaps every good lie has a small bit of truth to it. I think there are better examples like Frank Abignale (stealing millions with check fraud) or Victor Lustig (selling people the Eiffel Tower and conning Al Capone. He's also the one who is credited with the 10 commandments of con artists.)

I am not saying he is or isn't but its exactly what a scammer would do I reckon.

Reminds me of all the prostitutes throughout history and ages who have given up sin and discovered God! Suspiciously though, this always happens around the age of 40 when their street value goes down! Even more suspiciously, these ex prostitutes become fervent God followers with disdain for everyone still living in sin (incidentally all of these people are young women with high value)! One could say; 'they become more Catholic than the Pope'!!! With conmen it happens after they get caught and gone to jail

He's obviously very clever and realized it's time to play a different game.

Or if I may, beg to differ? Are the cons really becoming more meticulous and calculated as you say or are they just as they have always been except for the fact that todays world is becoming dumber and more gullible then ever?

Honestly, considering that he actually had the mining rights, that probably would've worked.

Victor Lustig.

Which is probably the reason he was so successful. Good conman are charming, likable that keep you talking. It's also how they gain their information about you.

or it is known it is the vatican nation the catholic church the islamic church

Bernie Madoff is one of the greatest. He kept it going for 30 years. It only failed because the economy crashed and his investors wanted to withdraw their funds as they needed them to cover other losses. he didnt have the money so he turned himself in. He was never investigated or suspected beforehand

It won't happen until all potential court proceedings have been resolved, sentences passed, and all possible appeals exhausted. Rule 1 of KZfaq ought to be don't speculate in depth on outstanding legal cases as there's the risk of contempt of court. Reporting from a courtroom on proceedings is generally safe unless a judge orders otherwise. Plus, you don't want the defendant trying to sue you over your musings if nothing as yet has been proven. Equally, you don't want to be the cause of a mis-trial. Merely my thoughts. Others may prove my ramblings to be nonsense. 😊

I guess the news of the charges being dropped hasn't gotten around yet? Lol

@1216jimmyz Please provide evidence because as far as I can see, he's still facing extradition to the USA to face various charges.
