The art of swindling is as old as the hills, a timeless game of deceit and manipulation that has been played by scoundrels for centuries. No one knows who the first swindler in history was, but one thing is certain – the practice dates back to the biblical figure Jacob, who cleverly swindled his brother Esau out of his birthright. Today, the president of the New York Stock Exchange, Os E H H Simmons, reminded a gathering of Chicago business leaders at the Hotel La Salle of the ongoing threat posed by security swindlers.
