We are approaching the end of this thread, but there is one more comment to briefly make about the ability of the inside man to get the mark interested. The easiest method sometimes is - bullying.
After the inside man makes his sales pitch again and again to the mark who is just not interested, a tactic used by the inside man is to get upset and yell and scream a the mark for wasting his time. This is also sometimes accompanied by the inside man yelling and screaming at his associate for allowing the mark to waste his time. Then, when the inside man leaves the room, apparently upset, the "associate" takes his time to yell at the mark, accusing him of making him look bad in front of the inside man.
It's obvious that, as I am writing this, people can be amazed that this is a scheme for which marks will fall and end up investing into the con. Yet, once again, this was a tactic used by Madoff again and again (yes, it's easy to continue using him since he is such an easy target). Never underestimate a tactic that has been used since grade school.
