“The deed is everything, the glory is naught.” ~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Take Anna Sorokin for example, the woman who pretended to be a wealthy German heiress, conning members of New York high society out of more than $200,000.
She was eventually convicted in New York City of multiple counts of attempted larceny, theft, and fraud. Sorokin's story has been the subject of news and fiction - podcasts, TV, stage, and Netflix.

It is terrible how many folks like her we have all been exposed too - first hand or vicariously, on any variety of levels. As a Fil-Am my personal pet peeves are Donald Trump in the US and Bongbong Marcos in the Philippines.
