A teenage scam artist uncovers a money-laundering plot that euthanizes seniors and cons an army of old people to extract restitution from the mob.
I think the logline, and title, are excellent! Great job, and a movie I'd be interested in at least reading (read my mission statement @ www.sharkeatingman.com(Shark-Eating Man Productions).

I love it! The title is perfect, too. I immediately thought of Whoopie's character in "Ghost", as that would have been a perfect spin-off of that movie.

My only thought was to add the word “to”: “A fake psychic is haunted by real spirits, forcing him to right his wrongs and… just to annoy the hell out of him!”
I think it’s hilarious! I immediately thought of Ricky Gervais, but he did one similar to this a few years back (“Ghost Town”).

Sounds like a story I'd be interested in seeing, but the logline does need a little tightening and shortening. You have a good selection of colorful descriptive words, so that's a plus.

Sounds like a story I’d be interested in seeing, but the logline does need a little tightening and shortening. You have a good selection of colorful descriptive words, so that’s a plus. The protag, however, is only described as “a man”. I’d start with him:
“When a (adjective) man is kidnapped, tortured and left with severe amnesia, he must re-discover his identity and prevent the torturer from returning to finish the job.”
Notorious is redundant, as there really IS no other type of “torturer”. Helping the FBI is part of the story, but probably not necessary in the logline. The “memory” plays an important role is describing the protag. You want it to be ironic. What kind of expert might he be to make memory THE most important asset? If he were a wedding planner, or a side-show memory expert act in Vegas, that would make it a comedy. I just completed a screenplay were the mob’s accountant had photographic memory. Why was that important? Because the accountant was called “No Books” and therefore the accountants life was essentially always in jeopardy for what this person knew.
In any event, it’s a very entertaining concept. Make sure the genre is clear from the logline.
