Among the roles in manipulation, who is usually the only paid member of the team?

  1. Point Man

  2. Runner

  3. Observer

  4. Contact

The correct answer is: Runner

The runner is typically the only paid member of the team in manipulation roles. This distinction is significant because the runner is actively engaged in the direct execution of the plan, often taking on a critical role that requires putting the scheme into action. Their involvement usually means they are compensated for their time and efforts, as opposed to the other roles involved in manipulation, such as the point man, observer, and contact, which may involve non-pecuniary interests or community-based volunteers. Understanding the dynamics of these roles and the nature of their engagement can provide insight into the operational structure within manipulative schemes, highlighting the differences between compensated individuals versus those who may support the operation in varying capacities without financial reward.
