Although I can't even begin to condone fraud, you have to quietly admire the ingenuity of some of these criminals. With their ability to make money from such a small start-up cost, it makes you wonder if we'd be in such a financial kafufful if they were running the country.

There was a story in the papers here a couple years back regarding the theft of 7 high-end cars in central London. Porsche, Lambo, Ferrari - a proper 'gone in 60 seconds' venture. Were these guys master craftsmen with the ability to get into the cars, disarm all the anti-theft devices and drive off without being noticed on a busy city street? Heck no. They broke into the impound yard, stole a tow truck, and in their reflective coats as blatant as could be, lifted the cars in full view of the public and police.

I don't condone their actions, but you have to admire the balls they have to do that.

Oh, pah-lease, bro! Russians in New York have sold the Brooklyn Bridge painting project to potential Eastern European investors AND privatized the toll booths on the NJ turnpike, selling booths to investors from - you guessed it - Eastern Europe. Both scams netted several million dollars each. You've GOTTA admire the BALLS on those guys, hiring a bunch of Mexicans, giving them brushes, paints and all kinds of equipment, and getting them to actually start painting the Brooklyn Bridge - all the while, not having ANY kind of permits; then bringing the investors there, showing them how those painters are working and saying "we need x amount of money to complete the project, and when the city pays us, we'll pay you back with interest".

This guy with the fake military? Meh... small taters, brother

I guess it is just a matter of making people believe, and to do that, you need something fascinating and awe-inspiring like a sticker with a hologram on it to convince people that it operates at a certian frequency. Little did he know, the food stains on the towel operate at the same frequency as slot machines, and he could have won a million dollars at the seminole hard rock.
I was kidding lol. Those things are the biggest hustle since... Hustling.
