Sociological & Psychological aspects. With large scale corruption soon to be unleashed on us as business regulators have been sent packing by the Trump administration, we should refresh ourselves as to what constitutes white collar crime. It does range from executives in C-suites CEOs, CFOs, CIOs) as discussed here to car repair scams done by "blue"collar workers as I blogged here. M.F.Anika is a a university law student, well versed in social and … [Read more...]
UNTOUCHABLE and PRIVILEGED KILLERS
During the run up to the publication of Privileged Killers early next year, I've received many nice endorsements. They're also called "Advance Praise" which publishers solicit and put in the opening pages of many books. Advance Praise For Privileged Killers. I've received "blurbs so far from criminologists, sociologists, true crime writers, and criminal justice personnel so far. An example is the one from the last category: "When it comes to crime writers, you've got your wannabes … [Read more...]
Psychopaths in C-Suites Thrive
Nine years ago, author and psychologist Fred Kiel reported on his research about psychopaths in leadership positions at a Tedx Talk. Psychopaths in C-Suites Kiel titled his talk, "Psychos in the C-Suite." The term C-suite usually refers to a company's top management positions, where the C stands for "Chief," O for Officer). Various chief officers (e.g., C Executive O, C Information O, C Financial O, etc.) occupy the C-suites. Kiel and others suggest C-suites are overpopulated … [Read more...]

Casanova Scammer uses “Privilege”
Privileged Offenders. Here's yet another take on privileged criminals. They create a "privileged" persona to scam others. I just blogged here about Simon Leviev, the Tinder Swindler, who worked this angle to the max. The Casanova Scammer Brian Wedgeworth seemed to have a way with women. Posing as a medical doctor who had attended such Ivy-ish universities as U Penn, Duke, and … [Read more...]
The Tinder Swindler – a male Anna Sorokin?
This website is about justice and equity, and so today it's about the Tinder Swindler. It's only fair that I give equal time to a male who's similar to fraudster Anna Sorokin whom I've blogged about here and elsewhere. I have less info about the the Tinder Swindler —Netflix's name for him— than I did about Sorokin, so I promise to add second blog soon about another male who preys financially on women, the Casanova Scammer. And in order not to discriminate visually as well, I'll … [Read more...]
Criminal Fake Heiress Sorokin Deported Yet?
Anna Sorokin, whom I blogged about last time and a while before that, proves my assertion that celebs get special "justice." Before our very eyes in recent years, fraudster Sorokin's gone from a shadowy subject of a Vanity Fair piece on her criminal behavior to a privileged celebrity. Her Netflix series served as an accessory to the crime. It gave her a national audience. So did her zany battle in court to absolve herself of criminal charges. As has her fight to avoid deportation for … [Read more...]
