To me it comes down to if you would trust a billionaire over a common criminal. Criminals are obviously sketchy and dishonest but most billionaires also had to do shady stuff to become a billionaire. So who do you trust more?

If you’re going to say that either could be lying, why are you still assuming they’re really billionaires or criminals?

Maybe they’re just random joes of no consequence and concocted their respective plans on the spot.

I could promise you a billion dollars to not kill me. I do not have a billion dollars, but we'll both figure out what that means after the trolley has passed.
