Just because you can find examples of educated people falling for grifts doesn't mean most people who fall for grifts are educated. Frankly, it's absurd and completely counterintuitive. You would have to show me some hard data to prove that correlation.

I gave you multiple examples of the most prominent sovcit cases elsewhere.

Examples are anecdotes.

You mean like "I've known several" except with actual names and details?

But I am really amused that you are demanding data when you never provided any for your initial claim or any subsequent claims.

Physician, heal thyself.

Yes, we're both making claims and using anecdotes to support them and it seems neither of us will move from our positions without stronger evidence. Your claim that most sovcits are either wealthy or educated seems absurd to me, so in a data-poor environment I'm sticking with the simpler of the two options. I'm open to changing my mind, but not with only anecdotes. If you could make a logical case for why sovcits would be mostly educated or wealthy then that could be enough, given neither of us have hard data to give.
