    Movie recommendation - Catch me if you can (2002)! Apparently Jobs used to work like that so much that in the late 1960’s a 16 year old just conned his way into becoming a pilot, a doctor and a lawyer with no previous qualifications.

        If I remember correctly he was also kinda a creep. Stalking women and what not.

        If you want a good con look up the story about England’s brief #1 restaurant the shed at dulwich

        Dude made a fake restaurant that became #1 on trip advisor even though it never existed. He then did one fake day of operation where he served microwave tv diners. Then when he was found out he did a bunch of interviews…. Except he didn’t, he hired actors to pretend to be him.

        That’s the kinda con man I like.

      hell, even to this day in…1/3rd of US states there are literally zero requirements to become a judge, it’s just a popularity contest.
