Abstract
“It is an opportunistic infection that bursts forth when greed meets the possibility of deception.” (Silverstone et al., 2012, p. 12) Introduction Fraud, it may be argued is the most common form of corruption in events. It is as easy as telling a lie. If the event is a success, so many people believe, all is forgiven. The lies are forgotten and we move on to the next event. But luck is not the same as forgiveness. Eventually the Geryon will be obvious.
