Yeah, from my perspective he never lied about being a con artist.. and like a true con artist, what we thought was the con wasn't the true con. In the end he gets this movie made about him and we're all going "lol but it's fake"... well... yeah? That just proves he's good at being a con artist!

It reminds me of the classic joke:

Did you know that elephants are extremely good at hiding in trees?

Why do elephants have wrinkled knees? From jumping out of trees.

Pretty sure the joke is much older than YouTube. My father shared with me before YouTube was a thing. We're German, so the joke is probably really fucking old if people across the globe know about it

My dad’s favorite joke: Why do ducks have flat feet? To stamp out Forrest fires.

Why do elephants have flat feet? To stamp out burning ducks.
