Well, I teach a course on the history of financial fraud, as you know, and one of the themes of the course is that the fraud cycle follows the financial cycle with a lag.
And the more extreme the financial cycle, i.e., the bigger the bull market is,
Usually more fraud follows thereafter with a lag.
So you don't really see the large amounts of fraud until after the cycle turns.
