Melville's "The Confidence-Man" is the prototype for a certain species of American anti-hero: glib, deceitful, supercilious, fast-talking, often with flashing-white teeth & a gleam in the eye: "Are you really stupid enough to believe me? if so, you deserve losing all you've got."
He’s lying through his teeth. He made millions by fraudulently manipulating clinical trial results then cashed out before it went public and crashed the stock. He is a fraud and conman. Now he’s running for President with the money he stole.
