💰 THE BUSINESS

Fee structure:
20 shillings per town
Fees per witch found
Travel expenses
Assistant salaries

Result: £1,000 in 2 years = $200K+ today

🔥 THE METHOD

Five phases:
1. Target vulnerable women
2. Sleep deprivation (4-7 days)
3. Swimming test (float = guilty, sink = innocent but drowned)
4. Devil's mark search (stripped, humiliated)
5. Forced confession (torture until they confess + name others)

Each confession = more fees. Self-perpetuating.

💔 VICTIMS

300+ executed. Mostly elderly women. All innocent.

Elizabeth Clarke (70), Rebecca West (67), John Lowes (80, vicar).

⚖️ THE END

John Gaule exposed the fraud in 1646. Magistrates questioned fees. Business became unprofitable.

Hopkins retired rich. Died comfortable at 27 from tuberculosis. Never prosecuted.

🔄 THE PATTERN

Hopkins' playbook:
Unfalsifiable accusations
Profit from panic
Target the vulnerable
Legitimize through authority
Create community complicity
