Psychology of a Fraudster

“Many people barter their souls for the allure of booze, babes, and bucks!”

In this final episode of What The Fraud? Tom and fraud expert Sophia Carlton get right to the root of the problem – what drives a person, or a group of people, to commit fraud? Is it just the payout? Or are there other things at stake?  

Tom discusses with Accenture Fraud Transformation Executive Sophia those ‘Three Bs’, the crucial differences between the individual and the syndicate, and whether it’s possible sympathise with a criminal fraudster?
