This is a good start on the article, but it would be better if it were expanded with other information, such as notable and/or typical scams (other than the elixir already mentioned), if he got caught and how (which may be multiple times), and what punishment he received if he was caught. -- Kjkolb 03:36, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Found this article, detailing some of Weil's cons as well as the full text of his autobiography. Should be good enough for some expansion. - Jack Sebastian ( talk) 15:22, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
Weil is listed on List of Jewish American mobsters, but Joseph Weil doesn't say anything about his being Jewish. If he is Jewish, we should say so and include a Reliable Source. The Chicago Tribune entry I just added to External links says that, while in prison, Weil signed a letter, "Joseph Weil, president Jewish congregation." That doesn't make him Jewish (especially since he was a con man). If we don't say that he is Jewish in his own article, he should be stripped from List of Jewish American mobsters. — Anomalocaris ( talk) 18:38, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
