Con artists who use manipulative tactics to scam people are ultimately driven by narcissism and an inflated sense of their own intelligence.

“whenever some you know perpetrators say something like this I'm like you just think you're smarter than everybody and you know you're proud of yourself and you you know you like to be this evil villain.”

Con artists should be publicly exposed to prevent them from continuing their harm and to break the stigma surrounding victims.

“there needs to be a place to expose these people and I think most importantly to help other women know that if this happens to you you're not alone”

Simon Whistler maintains that high-return investment promises, such as 10% monthly, are clear indicators of a scam.

“if it's 10% a month or 2% a day or something you are going to get scammed you are being scammed I promise you”

The speaker concludes that con artists are often sociopaths who lack empathy and gain satisfaction from their ability to deceive others.

“no they have no empathy they they don't care about about you”
