AYRT The problem with that line of thinking is you don't take into account the victim's emotional needs. It's why I always say that the stereotype of victims being stupid is outmoded and should die. Victims can be very intelligent (look at Abbey, very smart woman).

What a con artist like Andy looks for is emotional needs. Most of us have them, we're all human. Andy finds what that need is and exploits it, and that's clearly what he's done with Chris. And once a con artist has your number, it's not hard to keep hustling you.
