The speakers also discuss their frustration with the lack of originality among scammers and fraudsters, drawing parallels to the influence of movies on their tactics.

“I have a rule of thumb, which is that if somebody did one scam, they probably did another scam. If they did one scam in the past and now they have a new thing, odds are good it’s also a scam. That’s not always true, but that was definitely borne out sometimes in crypto-world.”
