Steps in a con game 13

OK - so we have met the "inside man."  Now what?

     The purpose of the inside man is to show the mark how he can make money.  The inside man is the one who will tell the mark everything he needs to know AND wants to hear about how he can make an insane amount of money with the investment.

     Don't forget - the entire purpose of confidence schemes is to entice the mark into playing the game, and the only real way to get the mark to play the game is to convince him that by investing with the inside man, such insane amounts of money can be made.  After all, if the mark is just looking to get an "average" return on his investment, there exist plenty of natural and safe investments, such as CD's, investments into bonds or conservative investments into the stock market.  All the parties in the con game are betting, however, that the mark is looking for fantastic returns, hence the interest in the game.
