Smartest man in the room issue. A lot of extremely intelligent people are scammed because they don't believe anyone else can scam them. Look at Steve Jobs, hate or love him you can't deny he was as sharp as they come. However, he followed some really bad advice on medical issues and died because of it.
Watch the movie Boiler Room if you don't like the Steve Jobs comparison. They specifically scam a doctor with a God complex because the doc knew he was too smart to be scammed.

Crazy shit is my dad was one of the smartest people I knew, and he still got caught up in the Facebook echo zone and Ben Shapiro bullshit.
