Have you ever committed fraud? What happened?

The big money guys; the politicians—a lot of money is at stake. They get to feeling they are impervious, and can get away with anything. My father always told me that if I was going to steal, I should steal something really big.

Has anyone here ever done anything fraudulently? Maybe in love. Maybe to impress someone. Have you pretended to be someone you’re not? Have you even used pretense in order to make money? (You’re anonymous, so you can say).

On the other side, have you ever been the victim of fraud? What’s the story? The full story?
