Well, I have to agree with your point, regardless of how much I don't like it when I see fraudsters like Bordynuik walk away with millions of dollars, leaving behind a gaggle of saps jumping up and down in celebration for having had the honor of donating their money to his bank accounts.

Penny stock fraud is almost a too good to be true dream for con men looking for free money with little few consequences attached to getting caught.

I wouldn't be surprised if Heddle was at first duped himself by Bordynuik in the P2O Ship fraud. But when he saw all the dupes who were swindled by that PR not giving a rip, and all the money Bordynuik was making through his swindles, he probably thought: "Oh lookey at all that free money. Eh? And all them folks seem happy that Johnny swindled it outta 'em. Maybe I gotta try my luck at slapping that puck a few times in the net. Eh? Imagine all the fun me and the misses would have drivin' aboot in a new Hummer of our own."
