Reader Cheats

June 1, 2010

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.

Confusion To Your Enemies

May 10, 2010

The NY Times complains that “It’s Complicated”

The Cheater Says: Duh. All great cheaters build a facade of complexity to create the illusion of expertise… doctors, lawyers, bankers, Latin scholars. Language should be a barrier to understanding. You can’t just say “This transaction is designed to circumvent regulation 10(b)vii.” Use small print, made up words, nonsense. Everywhere. Be Dick Cheney. Use terms and phrases that project an air of authority, but really mean nothing. “Global integration,” “Competitive balance,” and “Creative accounting” are just a few of the make-believe phrases that have gotten cheaters rich. Superfantastical!

Dear Goldman Sachs (Part 2): Spin, Baby, Spin

April 21, 2010

Spin this thing, Goldman, just like Great Cheaters Nixon (“When the president does it, that means it’s not illegal”), Belichick (“I misinterpreted the rules”) and Eve (“The snake made me do it”).

You weren’t “Lying bastards who profited from a secretive and unregulated market,” you were “Hedging your investments.”

The Cheater Says: Just some friendly advice to Stay Rich Cheating.
More to come and more here on AOL News.

Hewlett-Cheatard

3 H.P. Employees Arrested in Germany in Kickbacks Case

The Cheater Says: Arrested in Germany in case involving Russian bribes? Sorry, Volcanic ash… you can stop the cheating!

Succes$tory: Carly Fiorina – now running for U.S. Senate – ran H.P. during these alleged crimes. In fact, she ran it so poorly they fired her, but, as any Great Cheater would, she got a $21 million severance package… and she’s a girl! (A guy would’ve gotten $24.2M).

ANGER: “We said We Didn’t Do It!!”

DEPRESSION: “We’re upset you’d even think we did it.”
