I was thinking of much more well-integrated an socialized versions especially in male leaders, but yeah these bpd waifs are part of the same universe. Reminds me of Anna Delvey case.

The Liz Holmes book really brought home to me just how naive the okanemoche SV folks are to female wiles. Very tempting to run cons; but I'm just too GD -- well, not so much honest, as unmotivated by cash.

Now we’re in different territory. Media is more complicit than conned.

That's the way cons work, my inimitable colleague of internet chin-stroking! You make the counterparty complicit, by making them think they're "in on it" when they're not.

That’s how *some* cons work, cf “cooling the mark out” essay. We are specifically talking about bpd-waif type predation that works via triggering noble savior complexes through looks rather than I’m-in-on-hustle complicity!

The complicity there is that the person being conned thinks they are acting to "protect" the waif.

That’s stretching the normal idea of con complicity cf Nigerian scams or buying Eiffel Tower. But we’re arguing semantics now. I think we both get the distinction here.
