Fraud and Con-Men

n criminal law, fraud is the crime or offense of deliberately deceiving another in order to damage them – usually, to obtain property or services unjustly. [1] Fraud can be accomplished through the aid of forged objects. In the criminal law of common law jurisdictions it may be called “theft by deception,” “larceny by trick,” “larceny by fraud and deception” or something similar.

Larry Sinclair has a history of Fraud, dating from his 20’s to just
last year - 2007. Soliciting funds from supporters mere hours following
taking a Polygraph, whose results were not yet analyzed and delivered
to Sinclair, while saying he did not fail the polygraph is also
tantamount to fraud - it is soliciting money under a condition where
information provided that may promote the provision of funds is not
factual.

Therefore there is evidence for Fraud in Larry’s 20’s and also in
2007 and 2008. The multiple insurance claims due to ‘theft’ that Mitch
has uncovered also are highly suggestive of insurance fraud.

In order to commit Fraud, the person must act in such a way that
they are knowingly being deceptive. They choose to be deceptive in
order to facilitate personal financial gain. Larry received $20,000
from Whitehouse.com for sitting a polygraph that he failed. He received
money from the Globe magazine. He receives money for his ‘legal fund’.
All of these monies are based on an ever more incredulous story that
Larry has not been able to back up with proof. Given his history -
everything points to Larry’s story about Obama being another instance
of FRAUD.

CON MEN

The following markers are typical of con men:

A. Being insecure, yet proud, they will talk badly
about other people, trying to get you to agree. They recount stories of
personal success, but are stingy with praise for others.

B. Most of their waking hours are consumed with schemes for making money with the least amount of effort.

C. They have few, if any, real friends. These
people are afraid to get close to anyone they can’t completely control,
for fear their deceptive nature will be uncovered. It may seem they are
offering friendship and help, but it is only a mirage, acted out to
gain one’s confidence. Does confidence/con-man ring a bell?

D. They are excellent self-promoters, and have an
exaggerated sense of their place in the eternal plan . . . delusions of
Grandeur . . . and believe their calling is above that of others.

E. Except for sarcastic wit and put-down jokes, they lack a sense of humor, and almost never laugh at themselves.

F. They concentrate great energy on presenting an
image of competence. Everything is done for show and the admiration of
others. Their homes feel cold and empty, even when decorated with
expensive art and creative furnishings.

G. They lack the “nurturing instinct.” Most of the
care they provide derives from a sense of responsibility imposed by
society’s expectations.

H. They often live through their children, trying to mold them in their image and disregarding the child’s individuality.

I. Their most miserable moments are when they are
low on cash and their happiest are those spent with newly acquired
possessions or money itself.

J. They have a knack for borrowing money or getting
people to give them something valuable for a small down-payment and big
promises.

K. They cannot brook criticism, even constructive, and their authority must never be questioned.

L. Not always, but more often than not, they are
fitness oriented, as they need to maintain their image. This interest
in appearing fit usually has little to do with good health. This
emphasis on outward appearance may include such health destroying
practices as fad diets, over-consumption of alcohol instead of food,
strict starvation diets, and often bulimia.

M. They love to talk, but only listen to find
personal weaknesses or flaws in those with whom they converse, which
can be used to their advantage at some future time, i.e., blackmail.

N. They love to draw up and sign agreement contracts as a way to help “protect” you.

O. Believing themselves above the law, they circumvent as many regulations as possible to cut operating costs.

P. They lie, or tell half-truths, and evade direct questions.

Q. They underpay their workers, employ illegal
aliens, keep employees on part-time status to avoid tax and insurance
costs, and lie on their tax returns.

R. They “lure” people into money making schemes and
partnerships to separate them from their money, and are adept at
discarding folks who are no longer useful to them or have been sucked
dry.

S. They use relatives and friends to do work they would otherwise have to pay professionals for.

T. They are cold, calculating, litigious, and
rarely accept responsibility for failure. They act from their mindless
ambition, seldom from their heart.

U. Spouses and children are controlled financially
as well as emotionally. Their work and business are always more
important than family time. Money is their first priority.

V. They are expert at blaming and putting others down to make themselves look good.

W. They are filled with fear, instead of light, and
are overly concerned about security arrangements, their own well being,
and naturally, their own eventual death.

X. If they own pets, they are usually expensive
“show pieces,” pedigreed animals, even wolf hybrids, a sad mix if ever
there was one. Such animals often suffer emotional neglect, becoming
either lonely, depressed, or vicious guard dogs.

Y. You can never trust them completely. They wear
you out, mentally and emotionally with plans, schemes, gossip, and
inside information.

Z. You can’t relax around them as they are never truly happy or
relaxed themselves, and always have a new “trick” or moneymaking
project up their sleeves.

Not all tricksters display all of the above characteristics,
but enough of them to be recognizable when we sit down to analyze their
behavior.
