Raw Story reports that a number of Texas lawmakers got fleeced in a Ponzi scheme involving Noah’s Ark and other equally ephemeral stuff (emphasis added–more at the link).

Archer Bonemma, the businessman lawmakers have accused of fraud, pitched them on a startup which he said would reap large profits on energy trades. Shortly after the state representatives made their bets — which totaled $2.5 million — the startup filed for bankruptcy.

The Texas lawmakers said they think Bonemma targeted them because they were religious men.

I suspect that they were not targeted because they were religious. Con men are notoriously cold and rational, if dishonest, thinkers.

I suspect that they were targeted because they were gullible and stupid.
