Peter Crist is almost always correct. The reality is that if someone lies or covers stuff up, most of the time they will be found out eventually be it in two days or in 20 years. However, the reality is that some people do lie and cover stuff up in professional and personal situations and are never exposed. Sometimes this is because they're in a situation where dishonesty is prized, other times it's because the people around them turn a blind eye to what they see because they don't want to know the truth. Other times, it's because the person engaging in the dishonesty is so crafty and so quick that the trickery and subterfuge is almost inscrutable. However, the fact remains that Crist is correct. Often people are found out because those who are engaging in the trickery have so much hubris and so much arrogance that they engage in bolder and bolder moves, believing that they will never be caught. One example of that from the recent past is of Bernie Madoff. His crime was a simple Ponzi scheme which grew larger and larger in size and scale to the point where he couldn't help but be found out.

The journal article, “INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR BUSINESS TORT CLAIMS ALLEGING INTENTIONAL WRONGDOING” was published to show the rights that insurance companies have regarding denying people coverage. Sectors thesis statement is as follows, “Like the punter who kicks the ball too far, the business litigation plaintiff sometimes pleads or proves that the defendant was not merely negligent, but reckless, intentional, or malicious” (Spector, 2015. Para. 2). One example used by Larry Spector, the author, is about a kicker on a football team. If the insurance company finds an incident where the insured persons has been negligent then the company can “out kick” the coverage that they first quoted the individual with (Spector, 2015). The two main points of the article are, public policy
