In a testament to the pervasiveness of psychic shenanigans, cops in Kyrgyzstan recently busted a self-proclaimed mystic for allegedly bilking a woman out of a whopping $43,000. According to a local media report, the case began back in May when the victim became enchanted by the fortune teller, who convinced her that she could perform various rituals to help the woman's business improve. Over the next five months, the spellbound client repeatedly handed over huge sums of money to the purported psychic for her proverbial cosmic consulting.
