We have likely all had the experience of seeing the actual job we do portrayed on television well, wrong. Sometimes, we witness our entire home region painted in the broad brush of total inaccuracy by people who aren't from there.
But fraudsters in general have always been enjoyed by America. We love the incredibly toxic (and totally incorrect) bootstraps myth — and who is more self-made than someone who's made it all up, who's lying about everything? More than that, perhaps we love finding hucksters out. We love being the one to catch the liar in a lie. To call out the emperor for wearing no clothes. Or, in the case of the Netflix show "Inventing Anna," wearing designer clothes purchased with a stolen credit card.
