Scientists identify five key characteristics in famous PSYCHOPATHS

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Scientists have identified the five key personality traits that are common among famous psychopaths, including serial killer Ted Bundy, disgraced fraudster Bernie Madoff and robber Clyde Barrow. The US academics looked for shared traits in six men - Ted Bundy, Bernie Madoff, Clyde Barrow, James Bond, Sherlock Holmes and Chuck Yeager - who have previously been identified as psychopathic. They found that Bundy, Madoff and Barrow are all psychopaths guilty of callousness, manipulativeness, dishonesty, arrogance and cruelty. However, Bond, Holmes and Yeager likely are not psychopaths, and may have been misidentifed in the past due to their fearlessness and boldness, the experts say. Clyde Barrow (1910-1934): Along with Bonnie Parker, Clyde Barrow went on almost two-year crime spree that spanned several US states.

This brief paper explores the consequences of agnosticism with respect to whether a given human agent B is guilty of fraud. We find that if a human A is agnostic with respect to whether a human fraudster B is guilty of fraud, A, on the only formal definition of fraud that we are aware of, is her/himself provably not guilty of fraud. This means that a counter-fraud machine D based on an implemented version of this definition will classify A as innocent. Hence, if A by simply an act of will can bring it about that A is agnostic, A will evade D
