1.) The fraudsters were asked if they considered themselves BOLD. How did they
respond? What parts of their responses did you find most interesting?
2.) Apply the SoF Diamond to each of the four fraudsters and their acts. Does the
Diamond apply equally to each of them? Please defend your answers.
3.) How does Jimmy Scalzo describe seduction? Do you agree with him? Please explain.
3.) What aspect of the panel discussion did you find most interesting? Why?

1.) In Chapter 7 of Duped, the author writes about Bernie Madoff and his fraud. She
includes a quote from his wife, Ruth in which she states that the man who committed
this Big Fraud was not the person she knew all of these years. How could this be
possible?
2.) In Chapter 8, the author writes about the “female Jezebel” and how both men and
women use deception. Do you think that there are any fundamental differences in how
men and women use deception. If so, how?
