Gregor MacGregor tricked hundreds of people into buying land and sailing to Poyais, his invented ‘paradise island’. Frank Abagnale Jr made over $2,5 million pretending to be a pilot, doctor, lawyer and professor. Anna Sorokin funded a lavish lifestyle using borrowed money and fake documents. Elizabeth Holmes became rich by claiming to have created a unique medical device. After reading these stories – be careful who you trust!
