	Encyclopedia: Con man (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-08)
		A confidence trick, confidence game, or con for short, (also known as a scam) is an attempt to intentionally mislead a person or persons (known as the mark) usually with the goal of financial or other gain.
		The confidence trickster, con man, scam artist or con artist often works with an accomplice called the shill, who tries to encourage the mark by pretending to believe the trickster.
		Some confidence tricks exploit the inherent greed and dishonesty of their victims; it has been said by confidence tricksters that it is impossible to con a completely honest man. Often, the mark tries to out-cheat the conmen, only to discover that they have been manipulated into this.

	Con Man
		CON MAN, producer/director Jesse Moss' documentary debut, explores the remarkable life of James Arthur Hogue, a brilliant imposter who embraced the American art of self-invention, fabricated a spectacular series of fictional identities for himself, and successfully conned his way into Princeton University.
		Moss' fascination with Hogue can be traced to 1985, when Hogue, then in his mid-twenties, assumed the identity of a deceased infant named Jay Mitchell Huntsman and enrolled in the filmmaker's high school in Palo Alto, California.
		Hogue was arrested on campus, charged with defrauding the University, and later sent to prison for his crimes.

	Con-Man: Appendix: Reviews
		Though the "Confidence Man" is a book exhibiting close observations of human nature and a judicious and careful estimate of human virtues and frailties, we cannot accord to it the interest possessed by his less pretentious stories.
		And to the man with the weed succeed other characters, among whom we find an admirable quack doctor and herb seller, each and all professing to be engaged in some work of benevolence for the human race, which combines the practical benefit of putting money into the proposer's pocket.
		In the course of the voyage The Confidence Man assumes innumerable disguises--with what object it is not clear--unless for the sake of dogmatizing, theorizing, philosophizing, and amplifying upon every known subject; all of which, philosophy, we admit to be sharp, comprehensive, suggestive, and abundantly entertaining.

		Neal has often exhibited a range of behaviors that fit the description of an accomplished con man. Nevertheless in my dealings with him he was quite the opposite of a con-man. I understand a con man to be someone who persuades others to give away items of value by promising returns that will not materialize.
		She was giving his relationship to me as an example of how he conned me to the point that I became a law breaker.
		Still in her mind apparently she saw it as an excellent example of what a con man Neal was, how he made a lawbreaker out of me. Btw I establishd contact with Gene after I was fired.

	CharismaConMan
		For instance, a man who identifies his private ambitions with the good of the community may be partly justified, partly unjustified.
		No matter in what shape it comes, whether from the mouth of a king who seeks to bestride the people of his own nation and live by the fruit of their labor, or from one race of men as an apology for enslaving another race, it is the same tyrannical principle.
		The white man has made that impossible, and a clear and external sign of it is his easy access to manufactured goods.

		For the last few months a man has been travelling about the city, known as the "Confidence Man;" that is, he would go up to a perfect stranger in the street, and being a man of genteel appearance, would easily command an interview.
		It will be well for all those persons who have been defrauded by the "Confidence Man," to call at the police court, Tombs, and take a view of him.
		He may steer clear of petty larceny and open swindling --but mark that man well in his intercourse with his fellows--they have no confidence in him, as he has none in them.
