Actually affinity fraud does affect all groups. Even secular liberals can get taken.

Bentway, > Because, Bernie WAS a Jew, recruited the vast majority of his victims through his connections AS a Jew, and used his "Jewishness" to pull off the entire con. He used his Synagogue to recruit victims - the first of which WAS his Synagogue. Then, he could tell his marks to "go ask the Rabbi" about how HIS investments were doing!

I would accept that explanation if you and Ted didn't play the race card on a daily basis.

Since you do, you'll just have to take what you can dish out.

When it comes to race or ethnicity, Rs are the kind that do it by the numbers.....they don't really understand the concepts involved. That requires empathy and sensitivity......traits rarely found in R DNA.

Because, Bernie WAS a Jew, recruited the vast majority of his victims through his connections AS a Jew, and used his "Jewishness" to pull off the entire con. He used his Synagogue to recruit victims - the first of which WAS his Synagogue. Then, he could tell his marks to "go ask the Rabbi" about how HIS investments were doing!

Would a Rabbi be a roper for a con man? NEVER!

This also says something about the Jewish tribe. Just like the Mormon tribe, they will keep and use proprietary useful information, and hold it closely amongst themselves. Bernie knew this, and used it.

Somehow, the Christian and Muslim tribes don't have this "value".

Just an observation.
