One thing John Bordynuik got right, was the willingness of pink sheet gamblers to keep donating their money to his scam, even after defrauding them with lies about:
- $10/bbl oil
- +85% margins
- $85K processors
- Free, unlimited plastic
- thousands of P2O sites
- patents
- "comprehensive commercial operations to proceed".
- numerous phoney joint ventures and partnerships
- phoney sales
- inflated asset valuations to deceive PIPE investors.
- becoming CFP
- uplistings
etc., etc., etc.
I think it's just "con man's luck", rather than any insight he might have about human nature.
