I always considered Groupon's creator a scam artist, just look at the History of his companies. He is specialist in telling people what they want to hear, a la Madoff or Obama. He is really great at this. Fool people take the bait, smart people that identifies the trick seek to also profit from the fools(speculative investment banks are not as fools as they look from outside, they know what they are making, creating bubbles that will explode onto other's people hands), and continue dancing around the music of the magic spell. When the spell is over, people get bankrupted and the smart people(that sold their stocks long ago to the deluded) look surprised.
