At this point in the con, the mark realizes that he has been duped. The con artist(s) are either ignoring the mark, have disappeared or are threatening violence should the mark do anything about the loss of funds. It is up to the mark to decide what to do next.
The con artists are betting that the mark will remain quiet, if not for reasons of personal safety, then because the mark is embarrassed at the scam and may be liable for other people's money that were lost in the scam.
In a sense, therefore, the scam has come full circle. The scam, which started out as a way for the mark to get involved in a scheme that promised riches but only for "chosen" people has now become a victim of his own success.
