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

Lately, they’re earning record profits even as they stifle growth with tight credit to consumers and businesses.

Recent news has been even worse for a handful of banks. Headlines fly by like JP Morgan Chase losing billions in risky trading, British Barclay bank manipulating loan rates, and now, Goldman Sachs getting a vote of no-confidence from the Oakland City Council.

The council voted unanimously Tuesday night to boycott Goldman Sachs unless they agree to cancel an investment deal that will cost Oakland nearly $4 million this year. The vote comes after the council received significant pressure from unions and community leaders trying to get them to support their cause.
