A lot of you are being pretty hard on this guy. It's a good story, and if you don't have business experience you can learn a lesson from it.
Just because he liked "The Secret" doesn't mean he's some asshat who deserved what he got. Hindsight is 20/20 and it's obvious he had a lot of reservations throughout the ordeal. But when you're dealing with a good con artist (I have), they can make you believe anything. Reading this story brought back a lot of memories of what I went through. But I could see all the sings from a mile away while I was reading it.
Once you've been conned, it will never happen to you again. Unless you're an idiot.
