   This was not surprising.  Nobody has as much capital as needed for   
   that many. Not even the bigger, more experienced cons.   
      
   Business works like this:  you start small and with one (like   
   restaurants, a national retail chain or even flipping houses) and you   
   take the proceeds of the first one (hopefully you made SOMETHING but   
   many take two or three years to get out of the red) and you put it   
   towards number 2.  Then by the end of the second, you now should be in   
   black at least and if possible, take a SMALL low pay (below normal)   
   salary and put the rest towards the third.  If you did it right, by   
   the third try, you should be rolling..... it's just common sense.   
      
   I think they should have done ONE con in a known place with lots of   
   advertising and made sure before they did that, they had a good 10k to   
   "lose".  Because it could happen.  If they didn't, which I believe   
   they did not, then they should have let it go.
