Fraud is never OK. The end does not justify the means.

What a small-minded view. Our entire runs on fraud of one degree or another--sometimes it's just more than people are willing to bear.

You are joking right?

The question about fraud was in the context of the misappropriation of capital from investors for a purpose different from what was initially agreed to, and not as a general catch-all term for posturing or affectation either by politicians or the general populace.

Hell, you could make the same argument about a company jumping into a different product line with capital intended for a particular buildout.

Your blanket statement "this is never is justified" was my primary objection.
