A friend of mine has had mental issues. He called a Psychiatrist. The guy said he needed a referral from a Psychologist.
My friend a few grand on pretty useless talk meetings, but got his referral.
Gets his coveted time slot with the doctor. The doctor tells him today's fee is $450.00. Then $200 per month if I write a script.
The guy knew he was short on funds. My friend paid, and walked away. I didn't give him advice other than thing will get better.
(I look back on the biggest scammers, and most wore ties, and made their money legally.

>Somehow when a greedy person is honest about it it makes it better for me. I feel like I know what to expect of him. It's the self-labeled good people who think that means justify the ends that make my alarm bells ring.
Old phrase: The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
That hits home.
I remember an interview with a ransomware-as-a-service business owner. He was pretty upfront with having grown up in severe poverty and being empathically impaired. Somehow when a greedy person is honest about it it makes it better for me. I feel like I know what to expect of him. It's the self-labeled good people who think that means justify the ends that make my alarm bells ring.
