Joseph "Yellow Kid" Weil
from My Lil Cult Hosted by Aaron Morrell
The "Yellow Kid" was one of the most convincing and charismatic con men to ever come out of Chicago. Joseph "Yellow Kid" Weil never stole from the poor, but it's said that he took over $100 million in today's money from those that had "larceny in his heart".-Weil Joseph loved the race track, which is where he spent most of his time, and that's where he won most of his money. But he had other ventures in magazines, coffee and pianos, snake oil, and dog rescue (sorta). If confidence games, pigs in a poke, or the movie "The Sting" wets your whistle, then welcome home.
