For decades fraud has been an ever growing problem in our society, costing Americans hundreds of billions of dollars each year. Every investor and consumer pay for the effects and damages of fraud directly or indirectly. Investors need to proactively search for red flags before investing. Through an examination of two recent frauds, Theranos and Fyre Media, I will discuss the frauds perpetrated and the red flags present that investors missed.
