Easy. The man has no remorse and hence no guilt for the snake oil scams he pushes onto the gullible and technically-challenged.

Besides, he's done it for so long now, he actually "might" believe it himself. Look up the definition of a sociopath liar.

It’s a double-whammy, because as liars improve their game, we, the truth-seekers, get worse. Even people who start out as bad liars get feedback on their performance. They know at once whether the person they’re trying to fool believes them, and if they don’t, liars learn to change tactics. To make matters worse, some people—the sociopaths—are born liars. He (or she) doesn’t have a conscience to get in the way of his taking advantage of you. The sociopath has to lie to cover his predatory life-style, but he’s aided in this by a nervous system that is different from the rest of us: He simply doesn’t react emotionally. When he lies, he’s as cool as a cucumber.
