Adweek published a story on an alleged con artist who scammed up to $400,000 from over a dozen advertising agencies. The man apparently promised to deliver new business in exchange for cash. Um, not sure what the crime is here. This guy isn’t the first smooth-talking White man who positioned himself as a rainmaker, only to utterly fail to bring the goods. Plus, what does it say about the shops who sought to buy billings? Add it to the list of covert tactics White agencies routinely employ to secure victory in pitches. (Actually, MultiCultClassics isn’t certain that the con artist exclusively connected with White agencies—but it’s a safe bet he knew there was no money to be made with the minority shops.) And to think idiots were recently complaining about the seemingly unfair actions of clients in reviews.
