It is one thing when someone gets ripped off on their way to go treasure hunting, quite another when little sister's college fund goes out the window because she and the rest of the family would sacrifice everything on the slimmest possibility of helping to keep big brother alive.
I can see the opening pitch now, sleazy guy from across the way shows up at the front door, hat in hand, and says, "I understand your boy is over in the desert, and I want to help out if I can. I need you to meet my buddy, Charlie Dough, he has something you should see. It could keep your boy and his friends alive over there."
Wouldn't you love to get someone like that in front of a judge to explain his "technology"? Preferably someone with the patience, and bleeding heart sympathy for con artists of, say, Judge Judy? (If only she was still on a real bench!)
