There are other factors that come into play like law enforcement, which could potentially rip them off their power and money. Not all law enforcement agencies are honest yes, but it could happen probably. Fittest can actually be actually attributed to the ability to make a honest living, which a scammer cannot, which is why they're scamming in first place. Again just money cannot make someone fit, it has no value outside of the human universe.

Psychological fitness can be contributed by friends, good social support, good education and overall satisfaction with life. Physical fitness can be contributed by above factors as well as healthy lifestyle and exercise. Both attribute to the genetic fitness. Money cannot actually buy any of it, it's just a means to an end.

Fittest comes down to your ability to survive. Money helps. Not all scams are illegal.

Yes but if I survive even if I have temporal lobe epilepsy (which I actually have), would my children be deemed fit?

It's not the only thing, but in our society it is the main thing because it means you can obtain other powerful things with it. If you are not physically strong, buy physically strong people or objects to protect you. Things like that. Whatever you lack, excluding love, can be purchased with money. You can even buy literal power in government nowadays.

If you’re desperate enough, there’s probably nothing you won’t do. Those scams exist because they work. Some people work the scams to keep their belly’s full, some people get a kick out of taking advantage of others.

Yeah I guess so, money can buy power, or at least some advantage, but the paper doesn't work all the time. I doubt every government will let people buy power in it.

I guess so. People will do anything, but that doesn't mean they should... or maybe I am the only person in this world with such a golden moral compass.

Since the beginning of history of man, people did things they shouldn’t. People are very flawed. We try to be good, possibly only out of fear of punishment. If left to our own devices, we’d all probably do whatever we want, society would be in chaos, we’d all kill each other.

Yes... I guess so? I do not know neither history nor psychology (psychology isn't a science subject here) BUT, myself for example, I wanted to be a doctor and save lives of people. It was purely out of good will and not due to fear of anyone. So I don't think we want to be good due to fear of punishment, at least not everyone. Universal truths cannot be formed in the life sciences domain.

"Let" isn't the issue. Outright buying seats and votes would be illegal in most countries. However, there's a lot of other ways you can buy power without directly buying it. In a democracy such as here in the US, most people don't research the politicians we vote for. We vote for the one we see advertised and rallying the most (which costs money). Often, those people are funded by corporations or rich people to keep their interests in mind when making decisions.

I could get more in depth with other examples, but my head hurts and if it's truly of interest to you Google can inform you better than I. Long story short, there's nothing a huge pile of money can't get you in this world and that's why people seek it.

Hmmmmmm I suck at communication skills let alone history.

So I guess I got my answer, and there's no need to hurt your head just to inform me something.
