1-Grifter extraordinaire Anna Sorokin, who posed as a German Heiress and ripped off a lot of good people, was sentenced to 4-12 today..and since it's the beginning of 'Grifter Season' this is a great piece @ cons. They only left one guy out.. Donald Trump! #ThursdayThoughts
2-"Grifter season comes irregularly, but it comes often in America, which is built around mythologies of profit & reinvention & spectacular ascent. The shady, audacious figures at its center exist on a spectrum, from folk hero to disgrace." [& President] newyorker.com/culture/cultur…
3-"Cons thrive in times of transition,”...Scammers love nothing better, Konnikova notes, than “exploiting the sense of unease we feel when it appears that the world as we know it is about to change.” Excellent article from The New Yorker. Very timely.
