Why the "Bernie Madoff's" of the World Will Always Be Warm?
...Helg Sgarbi admitted to meeting BMW heiress Susanne Klatten, 46, at a spa near Innsbruck, Austria, in July 2007 and starting an affair. Using what prosecutors called a well-practiced scam, he told her that he had brought his quadriplegic daughter to the United States and convinced Klatten to give him $9 million to pay for treatment.
Because there's always a plethora of lambs for the fleecing to go along for the ride.

Wait, that's ALMOST a plot point from "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels." Substitute "Navy Officer" for "daughter" and throw in a little Steve Martin, and there you are.
