Motivated by greed and finally caught by his own lies, Kevin Trudeau was sentenced to no less than ten years in prison by Judge Guzman of the United States District Court of the Northern District of Illinois by court case number 10CR 886 . In fact, the well-known TV pitchman was finally arrested after spans of deception. “That doesn’t happen by accident, and it doesn’t happen by noble intentions,” the judge said. “It’s a reflection of a person’s character.” Character is used to evaluate and demonstrates the creditworthiness of our business following other certain protocols which is used as a portion of our credit analysis. Therefore, in which case after reviewing certain information about this particular individual, one can ascertain that

Friday, Thomas Tarbutton, a 58 year old man from Newport Beach was sentenced to 34 years and four months in state prison for running a 3 million dollar Ponzi Scheme. He was found guilty by an Orange County Superior Court jury. Thomas had eighteen account of grand theft, nine accounts of forgery, and eleven counts of using an untrue statement in the purchase or sale of a security and one count of use of a device or scheme to defraud, which are all felonies. I think Thomas should be sent to jail even though he will not live long enough to do the full 34 years. I also think the people who he used for their money should be paid back their money.
Keep in mind, we’ve all made mistakes in our lives that we can’t go back and fix. During the period of time when Miller was alleged to have committed fraud, she ran a dance studio in Pittsburgh, and opened up a new studio in California. Miss Miller’s expenses increased significantly due to the higher costs associated with having a studio in California versus the amount of money it takes to run a studio in Pittsburgh. Although her income appeared to be higher, most of the profits were used to offset the increased expenses. She counted on her
On November 2, 2017, United States District Judge Marvin J. Garbis in Baltimore, Maryland sentenced Tara Kathleen Whyte, age 30, of Hollywood, Florida, and Gambrills, Maryland to 54 months in federal prison for bank fraud conspiracy and aggravated identity theft stemming from a banking scheme involving over $1 million in losses. Judge Garbis also ordered Whyte pay restitution in the amount of $77,422.06 (The Bay Net, 2017). Whyte was one of 13 members of a nationwide group of fraudsters known as the “Felony Lane Gang.” These individuals traveled from Florida to Maryland and other states broke into vehicles parked at recreation areas, sports fields, gyms, fitness centers, and other locations, and stole wallets, purses and other items left
The reliability and admissibility of evidence becomes a foundation to this truth as any evidence presented cannot contain elements which can provide doubt towards the validity of the prosecution. This can be shown through guideline 14 of the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions agreement to provide advice for the NSW police towards the legal limitations or consequences of evidence obtained during the course of an investigation (Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions n.d). Identification evidence in particular has a lower weight and strength for admission to a court due to the fallibility and circumstantial nature of witnesses. The admissibility of identification evidence was previously determined by judges based on its quality with case law such as R v. Christie providing principles for discretionary powers for admissibility and Alexander v. R providing methods satisfactory to the court for identification such as identification parades under common law. (R v. Christie 1914; Alexander v. R 1981).

Every prominent figure is known for their unique set of abilities, whether it is their ability to act, sing, produce, play a sport, model, etc. However, looking through that facade can either reveal an ethereal soul, or a chamber of ominous secrets. In this case, two notable figures, Richard Wagner and Michael Jackson, both held a number of offenses that would ultimately be deemed immoral by many. What mainly separates Wagner and Jackson from the regular, working class citizens is their fame. One might assume that because of Wagner and Jackson’s fame, people may choose to overlook the unethical actions committed because of their prodigious talent.
For example, a person who is born with a violent disposition might, through therapy, experiences, or simply maturation, never become violent in action. For reasons of autonomy and privacy, it is obvious that scanning one’s brain to determine character traits as well as judging one on these scans is immoral, however different that may be to the legal validity of the use of such a mechanism of determination. Since this is a paper on ethics, it shall simply focus on the moral, and not the legal, implications. But first,
Deception is the action of deceiving someone. However it is a trick or scheme used to get what you want. Deception is perhaps the oldest of all the techniques by which the weak, untruthful, under-minded, have protected themselves against the strong. Through the ages, at all stages of sentient activity, the weak have survived by fooling the strong.
Ethan Couch killed four people and injured nine while driving under the influence. However, the judge ruled he would receive ten years of probation, which he later violated, and an unspecified amount of time at the North Texas State Hospital. His defense argued he suffered from “affluenza,” an unrecognized mental illness characterized by wealthy young people who, because of their privilege and wealth, do not understand the consequence of their actions. Had Ethan Couch not had a privileged upbringing he would have had a more serious charge. Wealthy people get off easier when they break the law.
Carr believed that business was like a game, where everyone put on their game face and hostility to receive the most monetary gain from established laws. Furthermore, Bowie refuted this stance by providing the negative consequences of this adversarial environment. Showing how firms, are utilising trust to succeed at their goals, to greater effect than any hostilities. While Bowie clearly established his stance against Carr, Bowie missed opportunities to nail Carr on other weaker points in his argument for Business Bluffing. In conclusion, the act of lies cheating and deception, skirting the edges of the law just to make a profit, much like poker, should stay as a game and out of
