Ergebnis für "Fake!" in Biografien & Erinnerungen

Ehrlich währt am längsten, bekommt man als Kind ständig eingebläut. Aber unehrlich geht einfacher und macht mehr Spaß. Warum sonst mogeln wir uns ständig irgendwo durch und geben etwas vor, was vielleicht gar nicht so ist? "Ggf. wahr!“ ist der Original Podcast, der vom schönen Schein, von halben Wahrheiten und von echten Lügen erzählt. Von Menschen, die eine Scheinehe führen, sich als Politiker_innen ausgeben oder ganze Firmen erfinden.

Unsere Reporterinnen treffen Spaßvögel und Hochstapler, Schummlerinnen und Betrügerinnen.

The third of a trilogy, this collection features 16 of the world's most outrageous scams and hoaxes. They all really happened, and were taken from firsthand accounts, newspaper reports, or historical documents found in public libraries. They date as far back as the late 1800s, but most are more recent. However, you won't find any defrauded widows or orphans in these stories; the victims are institutions or corporations quite capable of defending themselves, and the crooks who match wits with them are just as savvy. You could almost call it a fair fight!

Max the Forger is an artist and gentleman whose colorful lifestyle has spanned over 70 years. He has lived under the strict regime of Barnardo’s children’s homes, been an elephant handler in the circus, lived rough, busked his way from Brighton to Bombay, sold his fakes up and down the country, dined with dukes, socialized with celebrities, associated with gangsters, served time in prison, and donated tens of thousands to charity. And through it all, he never stopped smiling, and loving life - and missing his mum.

At the turn of the millennium, I was 22 and unsure of where I was going in my life. With the opportunity to fulfill a childhood dream of living in a cabin in the woods at hand, I quit my job as a zookeeper in Nashville and packed up with a friend for Big Sky country. We arrived as clumsy "city slickers" with modest ambitions of cabin life, outdoor adventure, wildlife watching, simplicity, photography, wilderness survival, and more.

That Donald Trump is an asshole is a fact widely agreed upon - even by his supporters, who actually like that about him. But his startling political rise makes the question of just what sort of asshole he is, and how his assholedom may help to explain his success, one not just of philosophical interest but of almost existential urgency. Enter the philosopher Aaron James, author of the foundational text in the burgeoning field of Asshole Studies: the best-selling Assholes: A Theory.
