[Prokopton]

Fraud is usually perpetrated against those who believe that a little corruption will profit them personally.
People who lied (just a little) to get mortgages they knew they shouldn't be getting didn't want to know about what the bankers were doing to them.
People who consistently received much higher rate of returns then feasible investing with an “insider” didn't really want to know how it was being done.
People who voted for candidates who promised them something without any explanation of how they were going to do it didn't really want to know any of the “details.
Most cons only work if the “mark” has a little larceny in their heart. We are becoming a Country of “marks.
