Selling cheap shoes at $400 a pop to cult members. If that's not a grift, what is?
Seems pretty much exactly as advertised. What part of it duplicitous or a scam? I consider Theranos a grift. I consider Elon marketing himself as a free speech absolutist when he's a capitalist at heart to be a grift. I consider Ibram X Kendi's fundraising off junk science to be a grift. I consider Trump raising money off the "big lie" a grift. Selling junk shoes because people like your brand isn't a grift; the people know what they are getting.
