If a girl can go to jail for texting her depressed boyfriend encouragement to commit suicide, why can't we throw these fraudsters in jail for manipulating stupid people?

I don't know, but somehow I think deliberately tricking people into doing things that directly cause physical harm to themselves falls on the illegal side of that line.
