"All warfare is deception." So says Sun Zi in his immortal classic "The Art of War." As we have discussed many times on this podcast, fraud is the use of deception and false information to entice a target into performing an action. Usually this action involves getting the target to turn over money or property. But is there a situation in which the techniques of fraud can be used for a good or useful purpose? Sun Zi would definitely say yes as we explore the use of deception in the D-Day landings in 1944.
