@feloneouscat @abc: They often do it by shell games, and not infrequently they don't *do* anything other than earn percentages and/or some measure of ownership in whatever schemes they "network" to others for those people to actually invest in, and then they pay way lower taxes because much of it is investment income, not labor. They also "upsell" things they got floated on credit. That's what Vivian Ramsajanwany did.
@thedisasterautist @feloneouscat @abc Yup. Hence why I call 'em leeches.
@feloneouscat @abc: That takes no intelligence, just "hustle".
