  1. Some of my own red flags I spot liars: 1. Cliche success story (they're copying the people they envy). 2. Buzzwords (they don't know the topic as much as they pretend). 3. Vague vagueries (they make arguments they said something else later). 4. Repetition of vital info (they want to make sure you believe the lie). 5. Gratuitous statements of fact (introducing the key lie prematurely). 6. Gets angry when asked questions. 7. Wildly exaggerated success story (they're pushing a wet dream). 8. Sexing up the topic (it gets more people to go along with a scam than will care to admit it). 9. Contempt for authority of any kind. 10. Desire for immediate seizure of authority. 11. Delusions of possessing authority. 12. Cowardice (fierce words but leaves actions to others). 13. Illogical and wildly broad allegations (they think everyone is as guilty as they are). 14. Belief that extreme success is a reasonable life goal. 15. Contempt/condescension for their competition. 16. Contempt for ordinary standards of living. 17. Unwillingness to admit enemies may do good if it suits their interests. 18. Unwillingness to admit friends might have committed a crime at some point. 19. Perspective of history conveniently line up perfectly with whatever junk they're pushing. 20. No interest in investigations or record keeping of any kind.

  3. If you ask me, cons and others that lie to get what they want are the worst type of offender. Even the most basic simple functions break down when there's a conman involved as you cannot trust any info received from even close associates. Even an actual pirate doesn't cause this much damage.

  4. Speaking of lying for money, there's a con that simply relies on the opposite: Conspiracy theories. These rely again on how not every fact can be checked, ergo everything is presumed to be a lie unless it conveniently fits into whatever con they're pushing. However, these guys are generally after political power and not money.
