This sounds exactly like the kind of behavior that’s apparently typical of people who’ve been conned and are presented with evidence of the con. They double down.

There’s a scene in the life of Ponzi (the actual guy) where a crowed showed up demanding their money back, and left having given him even more money. They had enough doubt to march there, and they •still• doubled down in the end.

Keep at it. People don’t admit they’ve been conned at the first piece of contrary evidence. It takes sustained, repeated questions that cause doubt. Broken record therapy.
