How Fraudsters Become Heroes (ft. Fyre Fest, Theranos, Martin Shkreli) 

right which just makes them the dumb ones.

@@starvalkyrie No. It makes them the overly greedy ones.

These are the ones who got caught taking rich people's money. Had.they just stuck to ripping off the poor they'd have suffered no consequences. Shkreli was brought to prominence for his drug gouging, but it wasn't illegal. His legal troubles came when he ripped off his investors.

The system is made for the greedy ones.

@@GerardoAguilar1 What did he steal?

0bsolete-X Do you honestly need a list? Here’s a few off the top of my head and in no particular order, I’m sure if you cared to check you could find more. His fraudulent university. $25,000,000 settlement. Misappropriation (stealing) of funds from his now closed down charity. $2,000,000 in fines and $1,780,000 of remaining funds distributed by the courts to charities. Refusing to pay contractors despite work being carried out to specification. Attempting to use his office to gain a personal advantage by extorting a foreign leader. Emolument clause violations = stealing from the American tax payer. Using his golf club visits to put money into his businesses. Making Pence and others use his clubs as bases despite them being more expensive, further away or both than numerous other hotels. Air Force pilots and crew using one of his Scottish hotels instead of cheaper and more convenient alternatives. Attempting to get the G8 to meet at one of his failing Florida golf clubs. To date his golfing trips have cost the American tax payer in excess of $120,000,000 which to some people is a lot of money and could’ve been used in a far better way.

Sinner among the saints. Could have been a lot worse

When I was nine I found a magazine that I believed featured pornography for women. I had thought it was the women's equivalent to Playboy, or Hustler. I found it in a dumpster where I would look for discarded items to throw into my neighbor's yard. But anyway, flipping through this "magazine" I found a photo essay on some nice twin blonde young men who were photographed together engaging in some hilarious and fun behavior. One twin put the other's penis in a hotdog bun, complete with yellow mustard on top, and pretended to take a bite. Lots of things like this. But one vignette featured the two twins in a position that found one on the other's back, both smiling, eyes on the camera. Sidebar photos revealed a closer look where the twin's penis, who was on top, was midway into the other twin's butthole. "Wow"I thought. "That's kinda gay" I just assumed that they ran out of ideas and this was the next logical step that they took, not wanting to disappoint the photographer. Later in life I would learn this magazine was for men who liked to do that kind of thing. I didn't really know what gay or homosexual was. Anyway, I'm putting things from my childhood together and I would love to find this magazine. I believe it was called Blue Boy and featured the twins on the cover buttfucking.

Some actual research on Shkreli would help. Apart from securities fraud which is not an uncommon occurrence in the finance world, he has been misrepresented. Getting villainized for hiking the price up to industry averages for the rarity of the disease and efficacy of the drug, while pushing far more of the profits to R&D than other pharma companies. It's the big companies insurance that pays for the drugs, where the increase is such a tiny drop in the bucket it makes no difference.

@@jshricks Hey Josh, gen z here. *"Always so sure they know everything while at the same time being so clueless about everything."* It's not about knowing everything; we live in the age of the internet. It's more about knowing how to get information. Like for example... *"You know she made billions, right? Devos actually did achieve the American Dream."* Always seems to be this mythos that if you're rich you"made" your money. If you go to her wikipedia page, you find out very quickly her father was a multimillionaire(company sold for 1.3B when he died), her husband was CEO of Amway. And her husband's father(the Co-founder of Amway) networth was estimated at 5.4 billion. Her networth on forbes is always in relation to the family(the 5.4 billion number), so I'd say the most likely situation is everyone else is piggybacking off Richard DeVos(husband's father). Looks to me like the "she made billions" claim is a little bit of a stretch. And I didn't even need to "know everything" to figure that out. Just had to look it up. Also, yes anyone can be scammed.

Mattis said it had taken him 30 seconds to decide whether to bomb the location. Describing the wedding as implausible, he said, 'How many people go to the middle of the desert to hold a wedding 80 miles (130 km) from the nearest civilization? These were more than two dozen military-age males. Let's not be naive.'"

He was being sarcastic about “respectable”

Where's the irony? It's a game full of microtransactions, not a ponzi scheme...

It helps if you don't have to worry about having integrity or scruples. I think because as a society we've become so materialistic and status conscious as opposed to truly valuing oneself and others.

@@torquatoLucas Can't tell if you're arguing semantics or for the morality of including in-game purchases in games. Either way, when a developer markets a game as free, they do so with the knowledge that A) the game is designed in a way that encourages the player to spend money and B) there is (in most cases) no defined upper limit to the money one can spend and the profit devs can reap. The "how will the poor devs feed their families?" argument doesn't excuse the fact that these games are like capitalistic fish-nets. Most players are small fish and have the self-control to regulate their spending but others don't and can become addicted. This business model cynically preys on these individuals. In the face of such blatant predation, debates over whether or not they fit the textbook definition of 'scam' or 'gambling' are irrelevant. In regards to your last point, the only reason mobile games are unanimously considered to be inferior is for the simple reason that the people who make them are merely part of a gold rush to make as much money as they can, as quickly as they can. There is little to suggest they are passionate about the products they pump out, more about the bank they can make. I would suggest simply selling whole games for a set price (what a novel concept!) with add-ons released at a later date or something of that nature. But obviously that doesn't happen as much because it isn't as lucrative, once again demonstrating the moral and creative inferiority of the mobile games industry as a whole and the system that perpetuates it. Do you personally profit off of this economy? Or do you just like playing devil's advocate to the nth degree? Because your comment reads an awful lot like a guilty self-justification.

The problem is capitalism dude. No Gamers are not some oppressed special minority. At least not more than any other consumer. Yea my games are ruined too. Repeat after me: Fuck Capitalism.

@@Bvggerffpls The games are free, with ingame purchases, which is made pretty clear most of the time. So you know what you get. And if you feel like you can't play a game properly without paying and really don't want to pay, then move on and stop playing that game. No one is forced to play these games or pay for ingame purchases. With almost every other product or service you have the choice. Don't blame companies for selling you stuff that you don't need, but only yourself for buying it. And of course there are some people that spend more money for certain things. But again, those people make the concious choice of paying. Because tricking them into paying, would be actual fraud. And also of course they do want to make profit, and the higher the better, because they are companies, that is how companies operate, they need money to pay their employees and invest in company/future projects. And to say that the mobiles games industry is morally and creatively inferior to the games industry doesn't make sense, since the games industry also uses ingame purchases, bacause, as you said, selling a game for a set price isn't as lucrative, because game production can be really expensive and selling a game for the normal price wouldn't be enough to finance a lot of triple A games. If you don't like games with ingame purchases, then don't support them. Because you don't have to play any game you don't like.

I don't "distrust" them but it truly makes me think that, in order to get to that level (and even if you get there by doing/providing something good for the community) you HAVE TO loose your own values and morals to some degree, and turn a blind eye to shady shit all the time; that's the only way those already on that circle would let you be one of their own.

He mentioned this as well. He pointed out the example of talking about politics with a random person outside your social group versus talking about the people in this video. That talk of politics has a very risky chance of devolving into chaos while everyone, no matter what side your on, can feel comfortable pointing and talking about these people.

Plus, the real reason why we enjoy watching them tumble is jealousy that they did something immoral that you didn't and got away with it while becoming extremely wealthy.

You aren't disagreeing with the video, though. Personally I think it's both. I actually admire the girl who pretended to be an heiress. In the spirit of moral relativism you can despise Holmes and admire McFarlane if endangering lives is where you draw the line.

A person respects a rattlesnake, when they hear it's rattle. The recognition of danger posed by a creature, of it's ability, is a form of respect. Not the formal kind, with the social gestures we are obligated to; there's no rules structure, like there would be with two individuals who are equally protected by morality and law. Now these people, they're tricksters. The "threat" they pose, that intrinsic danger, is deceit. It is, by it's nature, unknown to it's victims. It's a rattle you can't hear. Can only pick up on by observation and attention. They have this power, and therefore merit respect, in an amoral way. You can still condemn something that can merit respect, however. They are not mutually exclusive concepts.

@@tonylawson2222 I understand what you mean, respect is something earned, however, maybe people respect them because they worked really hard for their plans, and had an ideology (which was somewhat justified). However, these people are described (in the video at least) in a way that made it seem like they were just doing it for the sake of doing it, so it seems illogical to respect them, it's the same way you don't respect a psychopath. E.G I understand people who respect Darth Vader, he had a troublesome childhood / early adulthood, so he worked with all his might to eradicate whatever harmed him, he went through pain and suffering to get to his designated destination (or, the rattlesnake looks scary for self-defense, it rattles to fear its enemies, and hides the fear it has), but the video just describes these people as greedy and unrelatable scums of the earth who just happened to beat Mario because they played it on easy mode.

@@cipher8400 I see our difference, on this matter, as a matter of context. I'd say we are the NPC's in that easy mode Mario game. I try to keep my position in mind, being human and all. I'd also say it's possible you've got more of a positive, complimentary, or empathetic, concept of "respect" than I do. I would not, personally, say a person's moral character has any bearing on whether or not they can be respected in some quality, that they might have ability worthy of respecting from one's own position. Not that there's anything, necessarily, wrong with your way of viewing it. I just have my own.

They beat the actually existing so called free market at its own game. Every single corporation tells lies in their advertising and marketing.

False. Any profitable company is a scam in essence. To make profits, that is, the difference between costs and revenue become positive, you either make revenue grow more than the costs (making customers believe things are worth more than they cost to make) or driving costs downward (usually involving making workers think their work is less valuable than it is).

@@Bermeslivre That's actually a really interesting idea, so I'll give you a thumb's up. However, companies are able to utilize *efficiencies of scale* that allow bargaining power when purchasing supplies & labor and when advertising & distributing. No one consumer can make such economies of scale. However, there are such things as consumer blocks (such as the Affordable Care Act exchanges) which bring together the bargaining power of many consumers in order to force lower healthcare prices. So, your idea is interesting, because it encompasses imperfect information. But even if consumers had perfect information, they'd be fighting economies of scale and opportunity costs (perhaps they can make more money driving for Lyft than they could save by making their own bottle of aspirin).

The free market is for idiots. Just ask the banks who get bailouts for fraud.

@@ianj705 The question is: how can a market remain free when every player in that market wants it to be as un-free (in their favor as possible? The answer is government regulation.

I think the so-called problems of moral relativism were overblown in this essay so that they could bring up some related topics they wanted to shoehorn in. Moral relativism is often blown up to be some kind of boogeyman - particularly by evangelical conservatives.

@@CrashPreinsertion Moral relativism is a real issue in the US right now with the whole oppression olympics (black lives matter, LGBT, feminists, affirmative action etc...), if you add political correctness on top of that I believe OP has a real point contrasting moral relativism with the unifying moral absolutism.

manu de hanoi OK well, first of all, anyone who unironically uses the term "oppression Olympics" is already an asshole in my book. But I suppose you could say there is a type of moral relativism between evangelicals and humanists, where evangelicals believe that LGBT & women should have less rights and humanists don't. And I suppose you can say there's more "moral relativism" when conservatives get cranky about political correctness because it asks them to talk about minorities & women in ways that don't support racism & patriarchy. Um... I guess you can also say there's moral relativism between humanists & evangelicals because evangelicals see no value in the scientific process as it applies to their foundational predicates (ie the supernatural). Conservatives tend to make a bigger deal out of moral relativism than most. But in truth, there's a lot of overlap between people who think the Earth is 6,000 years old and those who think it's 4.3 billion years old. I suppose moral relativism is a crisis to conservatives who believe that only certain classes of humans deserve full rights. I don't know what you mean by "And the boogeyman are the depicted crooks."
