Stings like this are the bread and butter of effective law enforcement. The fact is that the vast majority of criminals are not that hard to outsmart. It turns out that if you’re a master criminal pedophile, even then you don’t waste time with darkweb shit, you just con your way into the inner circles of the powerful and blackmail them into covering for you.
- goatinaboat 7y agoThere is an old saying, you can’t con an honest man.
- dredmorbius 7y agoNot true. Though possibly harder in cases.
- coldtea 7y agoYou can't con them with offerings to their greed. You can con them with your fake piety and lots of other ways... What's more true is that you can't easily con a con-artist. They know the signs/tricks.
- goatinaboat 7y agoYou can defraud an honest man yes, but that’s not the same as a classic con.
