Billionaire Pays ZERO Estate Taxes
The Cheater Says: There’s a year without estate tax. I’m not saying this is a good time to fake your death, passing all the money to your trustafarian heirs, then have them donate it to the Your-Name-Here Charitable Foundation… but consider it. Right, Ken Lay, Sam Isreal, Jimmy Hoffa, and that guy from Damages? Right$
Deadspin Claims Pete Rose Had A Corked Bat
The Cheater Says: He may have corked, he may have gambled, he may have cheated, but the all time hits leader is selling autographs for a song, which means he did not stay rich, therefore, we here at GRC central do not care.
“BP buys Google, Yahoo search words to keep people away from real news on Gulf oil spill disaster”
The Cheater Says: Sometimes, “getting rich cheating” leads to “staying rich cheating,” which often equates to “not-getting-tarred-and-feathered cheating.”
From the comments page:
“When I was in college I figured out how to get a free college history book, what I did was I ordered the book online then when to the store to pick it up, then I sent in my mom to pick up the same text book, now i had two text books, then the next day I returned the textbook for a refund, and I got to keep the other one.”
The Cheater Says: Neato. But that’s not really getting RICH cheating, now is it? More like getting 50 bucks cheating. Should you charge kids a 50% of their take and rent out malnourished “moms” from impoverished countries… and also run the publishing company, credit card processor, and university… then you’ll be on to $omething.
“Cracking Open Ken Starr, Hollywood’s Mini-Madoff”
The Cheater: Hey, they got their money through cheating (yeah, like showbiz is based upon hard work & talent), so why not lose their money through cheating? All’s fair in love & cheat.

Lilo Flaunts It As If She Got It… In Court
The Cheater Says: Tune in to CNN’s “Showbiz Tonight” today at 5pm & 11pm to see what I have to say about this cheater’s brush with the law…

Goldman/Lobbyist Revolving Door
“Campus ensnared by ‘life of deception'”
“Citing Affair, Republican Gives Up Seat”
“Inspectors Find Fraud At Centers For Children”
“Whistle-Blowers Become an Investment Option for Funds”
The Cheater Says: I love this time of year, when the cheater’s bloom. Cycling, lobbying, political sex, exploiting children, and, of course, high-end payday loans. Onward, Great Cheaters, to victory!
