Conmen still definitely exist and they will target the recently rich quite frequently. "Oh did you just get a big options buy out - well I run a wealth management fund that can help grow that sustainably..." these sorts of schemes hurt people bad but because the people had a boatload of money they tend not to raise as much media attention - also IMO America is socially accepting to people who fleece others out of their well-earned cash, if the fool was parted from his money then the benefactor is clearly "more deserving" of it.
