I just dont see what goes through these peoples minds.


A con artist isn't interested in building a name for themselves. They're interested in getting as much money as they can in the con and then moving to the next con. I can guarantee, they had no interest in the ball python business, they just saw a way to get quick money and milk it as long as they could. I dare say they'll move on to another venture if they haven't already (now that pitbulls and ball pythons have been exhausted).
