Everybody in such games seems to participate in a bit of self delusion. Even the cons. Even if they come across some details that don’t add up, they would rather shut up and stay in the game rather than question it and walk away. If you were the sort who would question every little detail then you are unlikely to be a participant in this sort of deal making/fixing enterprise. Those who would obsess over minute details would either be rank outsiders and non players, or those who have already made it and have too much to lose.
