For seven decades there has been growing concern regarding whether the fiduciaries are exploiting the Hershey Family Trust for personal gain. There have been investigations, but such investigations are by the same individuals who benefit from maintaining the status quo. Theft by Deception explains what was stolen, the deceptions used, who participated in the theft by deception, and why all post-1945 modifications are void ab initio (and therefore not enforceable). At the end of Theft by Deception some possible means of ending the continuing theft by deception are listed. Theft by Deception also reveals that any potential solution must consider the reality of these key facts:1. The fiduciaries of the Hershey Family Trust (and of the subsidiary trust and foundation) have been participants in the theft by deception (whether knowing or unknowing).2. Pennsylvania officials are participants in the theft by deception (whether knowing or unknowing). The Commonwealth will suffer extraordinary financial implications associated with paying back more than $386,000,000 unconstitutionally removed from the Hersheys' Family & Estate as well as the billions of dollars of damages suffered by the true Beneficiaries. Consequently, Pennsylvania officials are not going to take the remedial actions mandated by law. 3. The lawyers of the Hershey Family Trust Fiduciaries have actively participated and continue to participate in the theft by deception (whether knowing or unknowing). 4. Children in numerous States (including Pennsylvania) are not receiving the benefits to which they are entitled. 5. Numerous Beneficiaries have been denied a range of benefits to which they are entitled over more than seven decades. Such denial of benefits continues.Consequently, it would be pointless to contemplate any reformation which included the Hershey Family Trust Fiduciaries, their lawyers or Pennsylvania officials or politicians. They have been part of the seven decades of theft by deception (whether knowing or unknowing). Theft by Deception lists possible solutions, beginning with the Attorney General of the United States and the U.S. Attorney General's obligation to enforce the Constitution of the United States. Theft by Deception also calls upon the State Attorneys General to protect their children.

One of the most anticipated books of 2017: Boston Globe, New York Times Book Review, New York's "Vulture", The Week, Bustle, BookRiot An NPR Best Book of 2017An AV Club Favorite Book of 2017A Barnes & Noble Best Book of 2017A Goodreads Choice Awards nominee David Sedaris tells all in a book that is, literally, a lifetime in the making. For forty years, David Sedaris has kept a diary in which he records everything that captures his attention-overheard comments, salacious gossip, soap opera plot twists, secrets confided by total strangers. These observations are the source code for his finest work, and through them he has honed his cunning, surprising sentences. Now, Sedaris shares his private writings with the world. Theft by Finding, the first of two volumes, is the story of how a drug-abusing dropout with a weakness for the International House of Pancakes and a chronic inability to hold down a real job became one of the funniest people on the planet. Written with a sharp eye and ear for the bizarre, the beautiful, and the uncomfortable, and with a generosity of spirit that even a misanthropic sense of humor can't fully disguise, Theft By Finding proves that Sedaris is one of our great modern observers. It's a potent reminder that when you're as perceptive and curious as Sedaris, there's no such thing as a boring day.

This volume applies the life-course approach to criminal careers, developed in the first book of the set, to crimes of deception, treason, and theft/white collar crimes. It discusses the web of influences affecting individuals to commit these crimes, as well as the society's attempts to detect and prevent them. Chapter 1 looks at deceit's impact on offenders, victims and society, and concludes that methods of detection (such as the polygraph), are not consistently reliable. Chapter 2 discusses treason. The American, Canadian, and British laws against treason are surveyed, and individual and collective motives (e.g.: ideology, power) for committing this crime are discussed. The characteristics of several spies and traitors illustrate their diversity and generally high social status. Chapter 3 examines different types of fraud, including embezzlement, forgery, arson, and confidence games. Motivation for business and political fraud is a two-sided phenomenon: the pull of money and power coupled with the push from financial pressures. Reducing the profitability of this type of crime may have stronger effects on crime rates than increasing punishment. Theft by force or stealth satisfies a complex group of desires - for excitement, independence, property, and gratified hostility. Yet the occurrence of shoplifting, employee theft, or burglary varies with opportunities to steal. (NCJRS, modified).
