People are protected from this situation in our society now, I would not remove this law.

So this is a fairly simple con. Do you not agree that there exist extremely complex cons that can easily be hidden in the guise of honest business? Are there not also manipulations of the market that are fair game? Is price fixing illegal in your world? Are there any antitrust laws in your world? If so, aren't we on a slippery slope of regulation in a supposedly regulation free society? Who enforces these regulations? Who investigates them? How is this done with "small government?"
