Carl Sagan, the late astronomer and host of "Cosmos," was and is a personal hero of mine. I am not certain if he intended for this statement to apply to those who get sucked up in fraud schemes, but I think it is appropriate. We will discuss this in the next few posts:
"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: if we have been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It is simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we've been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back."
