		<description>How does this happen? My guess it is a great deal easier than it sounds.

Some folks are easily swayed by sales people who promise what the customer wants to hear. The customer usually takes the salesperson at face value with no research about how well they deliver what they promise. It's simply that wealthy folks can often swallow some of these loses better than others.

People who often have great ideas turn out to be terrible business people. Look at how long it took Eclipse to dump the visionary Vern ... smart guy, lousy business man.

Finally, let's not forget about plain old American greed. "Greed is good," the man said. Some folks just lose their minds when they see check books full of cash week after week ,,, see item two.
