In the case of Agape World, Inc. Nicholas Cosmo surprised many in the investing community by investing some of the stolen funds in the commodities futures market. In criminal law, this phenomenon is known as “Consciousness of Guilt”. “Consciousness of Guilt” are evidentiary rules allowing a prosecutor to introduce testimony that tends to show that the defendant’s actions prove he/she knew they were guilty (“Consciousness of Guilt”, n.d.). The investment in the futures market was nothing more than a desperate act by a man’s consciousness of his guilt in the hopes of avoiding his inevitable demise.
