Fraud on Cyber: An annotated sample of Gordon's Notes

For the past fifteen years I've been fascinated by how the information technologies of the late 20th century supercharged old frauds. I suspect that our current depression, and the Depression of the 1930s, have enabling technologies as one common cause.

It takes time for law and custom to adapt to new technologies and complexities, and until they do frauds as old as the human mind take on new forms and power.

For almost ten of those fifteen years I've been publishing notes here. In honor of a post I'm working on now I've assembled an annotated biography. There's a sort of grouping order to the list, it's not chronological ...

You might find James Galbraiths recent talk interesting and informative. See <a href="https://plus.google.com/100915484987272670062/posts/a72Qx26pQdF>my G+ share on it</a>

On a [probably] un-related note: why in hell does blogger require third-party cookies enabled in order to comment?

Did you also share the ref from Google Reader? I think I saw it this morning from you. As you probably know that was the post that inspired my retrospective, I wrote on it here ....

I assume blogger does that cookie stuff as part of their ad tracking program.
