That is literally some of the dumbest, most idiotic bullshit I've ever heard. And as much as I like ranting at stupidity, this one is just too pathetic and sad for me to unleash my wrath.
The key is that it isn't easier to turn a true profit-- it's a game of three card monty when you do this. The two show cards read "PROFITS!" and the third card reveals the truth. The crazy thing is, you can actually be unwittingly running one of these three card monty businesses due to ignorance. Or of course it can be intentional. And further, it's not even necessarily against the rules.
