27 Huge Corporations & Prominent Figures That Were Caught Being Complete Frauds

Elizabeth Holmes is back in the limelight and it got us thinking about all the other massive fraudsters out there. What can we say? We’re suckers for a scandal. Especially ones with corporate shadiness and million (or even billion) dollar swindles.

Capitalism can put serious pressure on people who crave success at all costs. Especially since massive corporations have boards of directors constantly breathing down their necks. We poor folks wouldn’t know first-hand but it seems like the yearning for constant growth mixed with the need for recognition as the most successful people in their field causes a little corner-cutting. Well, “little” to them anyway.

So yes, Elizabeth Holmes has become the current face of fraud, but as you’ll see here, she wasn’t the first and she probably won’t be the last.
