But it is made worse by the status of the victims.
Also, I'd say that victim-status is the variable that's responsible for most (but certainly not all) of the "shittiness" of the activity.

No. It's pretty clear that it's worse to hustle a poor person out of 85% of their assets, and have them wind up homeless under a bridge, than it is to hustle a rich person out of 85% of their assets, and have them wind up living a comfortable upper-middle-class life. Both these scenarios involve the same "fraction of [personal] assets," which shows that some simple numerical comparison doesn't properly capture the essence of what we're talking about.
