Unfortunately our species in it's entire history worldwide, will always produce con artists, whom may be honestly deluded themselves, or flat out lying and don't care.
People swallow his crap for the same reason others fall for a ponzy scheme. It doesn't make every single person who false for it stupid.
I'd say much of this falling for it stems from our evolutionary grouping. We are a social species so we seek cooperation, and if an idea is popular in that given society humans can have a tendency to assume trust and suspend questioning.
Just like a ponzy scheme, it preys on the idea of the desire of stability and and religion provides grouping too.
But as far as Ken himself, I don't feel sorry for him one bit, and for him to falsely claim to be the victim, is sick considering the countless people who lost money in that investment that could have kept it to pay their own bills.
Not just with him, but America even with Wall Street, needs to get back to putting these CEOs in prison for setting up exploitation models and making bad market bets. It also pisses me off that nobody went to prison at Wells Fargo. Same with Duke Energy dumping coal ash in NC rivers.
