i know a bunch of people that "invested" a lot of money into a scam but refuse to see it for what it is. how can i get through to them?

compile evidence, provide it. you can't logic someone out of a position they didn't logic themselves into nor are you responsible for their decisions. if you berate their "investment", their decisions, or try to convince them they're much more likely to double down

your decisions play a big part but as you age you learn to appreciate things differently. so i agree with >>56203810
expectations beget disappointment
gratitude begets contentment
tl:dr do the best you can and be thankful for what you have

for example, i asked them if a legitimate company would incorporate on the cayman islands or how the success of he founder reflects back on the value of the magic beans they bought, but all i get back is hand wavy word salad. maybe some people are beyond help
