Bingo. These people are salesmen & marketers. Lying to sell a product (including gathering funding & pumping company stock) is literally the job description. If they weren't good at it, they wouldn't hold the positions they do.

Being a good salesperson does not require lying. It's not the job that's doing the lying, but the person lying to you.
