You pretty much know they'll end up conned themselves at the end of things.

A number of Mamet movies are along those lines for example. The Grifters, Matchstick Men, Confidence, and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels are a few others that come to mind.

It's going to be freaking HILARIOUS if the Kushner's got conned on this deal
