re: #152 KGxvi

From what I read about it, they went beyond the asshole timeshare sales pitch to convincing people to max out credit cards or take out mortgages to pay for their bullshit courses. It reminds me a lot of what I saw when I was litigating mortgage fraud cases, where mortgage brokers were targeting unsophisticated borrowers for refinancing or “zero down loans”.

It only works if the mark is greedy, just like most cons.
