My favorite all-time Star Trek episode....was 'Spock's Brain'.
Around season 3, it was produced. Basic theme? A group of low-intelligence/IQ aliens from Sigma Draconis VI beam aboard the Enterprise....sedate the crew, and surgically remove Spock's brain to serve as the new "Controller" for their underground computer complex that sustains their society.
The aliens have divided up into the surface-dwelling Morg males and underground Eymorg females.
Neither group seems bright enough to do much....so they need a machine called the "Teacher" to temporarily boost their intelligence for complex tasks, but otherwise function at a childlike level.
Lately, this episode has been on my mind, and I'm beginning to believe society has evolved on Earth to such a point, that we are Morg/Eymorgs in various ways.
This Somalia group in Minnesota who figured out various ways to siphon off tens of billion over the past decade? Well....I don't think they were bright enough on their own to figure out this scheme....so I'm wonder what 'Spock-brain' they found to get them smart enough to steal.

The Scamalis are reputedly the dumbest sub-species in the history of idjits with a collective IQ approximately equivalent to the temperature of a room in mid-winter Minnesota.
With a window open.

I would guess they had outside guidance.
I would also guess they are so dumb, they don't know it is a scam, they don't know they are part of the scam, and they probably spend their earnings from the scam on pretty beads.

But they make up for it with cranium height...
I'm of the belief...early on...someone guided them to one single fraud/scam. After that....they figured out the rest, and never felt fearful of legal matters/jail-house time.
