The Agape pyramid scheme in Long Island....
Were people being conned by the religious connotations of the firm's name? Has anyone heard this mentioned by any media outlet?

2. There's lots of reporting, but none of the articles remarks
on the name of the firm... That's what I find curious. From the people he stole from that I've seen interviewed, I suspect that the put up the front of being a good religious man and duped a bunch of suseptible folks...

4. Well, some folks will believe anything,
as long as it has a "Christian" name. After all, they believe in a supernatural entity that has unlimited magical powers. That's gullibility by any definition.
