Just show me omertà.

Sort of like Bernie Madoff. You give me, say, $100,000 and I promise you 1% a month. So, after 10 years, your account should be worth, say, $330,000. Well, you find out it's a scam - how much are you really out? The media, of course, goes with the biggest number - "Con artist bilks man out of over $300,000!"
