Well magics got him very far all right... I guess it's where he learned how to manipulate people and get their trust. Although I also imagine, there are more people that didn't fall for his tricks than the ones who did, but the few of them that did fall for his scams were rich enough to provide him with a luxury life style, that guy is still a millionaire.
I mean exploiting desperate people with cancer with a bullshit cure, at a premium, what a complete sociopath, no wonder it escalated to murder...
I find it absolutely crazy how easy it was for that guy to relocate in USA despite being wanted in Turkey, especially after 9/11, in that little time. When I see how hard it is for people who are trying to get a greencard legally...
