I love Stacy Keach's voice as narrator of "American Greed" but I can't muster much sympathy for the victims of the con artists this TV series features. You can't con an honest man or woman. You can only con someone who's out to make a an easy buck, without working for it. These people aren't poor, they're already wealthy enough to invest hundreds of thousands or millions in schemes they foolishly think will increase their money more than is reasonable. If it seems too good to be true, its probably not true.

And and I think its absurd that when caught the con men or women get longer jail sentences for theft than the average murderer. Taking someones money shouldn't be considered a worse crime than taking a life.

There are a lot of shows on TV where I don't sympathize with the characters. Good thing there are lots of channels plus streaming
