Fraud*
According to the Collins English Dictionary 10th Edition fraud can be defined as: "deceit, trickery, sharp practice, or breach of confidence, perpetrated for profit or to gain some unfair or dishonest advantage".[1] In the broadest sense, a fraud is an intentional deception made for personal gain or to damage another individual; the related adjective is fraudulent. The specific legal definition varies by legal jurisdiction. Fraud is a crime, and also a civil law violation. Defrauding people or entities of money or valuables is a common purpose of fraud, but there have also been fraudulent "discoveries", e.g. in science, to gain prestige rather than immediate monetary gain

.....

"Our first priority is and always has been to serve our clients' interests," read the letter, in one of its opening lines.

Not to mention their own best interests. The question, of course, is who is looking out for everyone else’s best interest? This is exactly where the game went bad. Government is supposed to look after the people’s best interest and is supposed to keep rogues under control. Obviously they have allowed Goldman unprecedented access to run government and thus all representation for the people has been usurped. A story that’s getting old already, I know. Yet nothing has changed, and that is why we are going to pay dearly.
