Grifts are undertheorized, and too often conflated with long cons, scams, frauds and other more blatant soft crimes. Lemme offer a definition. A grift is a scheme that profits from the existence of a real problem without actually addressing it.

Nah. Grifters pretend to be true believers to bilk true believers out of money and attention. See: Candace Owens. Grifters profit from pointing at real problems but feel no responsibility to be honest and often end up making real problems even worse.
