What about bad times, like Hurricane Katrina (or any other weather event), the Depression era, and the last big stock market slide? Hucksterism and shady contracting go on no matter WHAT time it is--good or bad. And what about those people who forge things like checks and other documents? That, too, goes on in all kinds of times--good or bad. I say it's DEMAND, not ECONOMIC TIMES, that drives fraud. It's the flip-side of opportunity and the shadiest part of the "underground economy" in action.

Hucksterism and shady contracting go on no matter WHAT time it is–good or bad. And what about those people who forge things like checks and other documents?

I say it’s DEMAND, not ECONOMIC TIMES, that drives fraud. It’s the flip-side of opportunity and the shadiest part of the “underground economy” in action.
