The Ingenuousness of Fraud
James 5:1-6
Go to now, you rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come on you.…


Some frauds succeed from the apparent candour, the open confidence, and the full blaze of ingenuousness that is thrown around them. The slightest mystery would excite suspicion and ruin all. Such stratagems may be compared to the stars: they are discoverable by darkness, and hidden only by light.

(C. Colton.)
