All fraudulent individuals have three aspects in common: the opportunity to commit a crime, the financial pressure to ignite thoughts to commit a crime, and the rationalization to make a crime seem less ethically incorrect than it really is to commit (Will et al).

When Minkow was 16, he started his own carpet cleaning business in his parents’ garage under the name of ZZZZ Best (Ciulla).

1) Kurt Warner was by all accounts an average athlete – he was never the physical stud that “carried” a team to a championship as some would say – rather through hard work, practice and excellent managerial skills he was able to lead his teams to championships. As such he displayed the traits of a competent leader, both building teams, and driving those teams of athletes to individual peak performance and positive results.
