The perpetrators of these ingenious crimes are a fascinating and various array of humanity:  charming impostors of both sexes; ,young , old , rich, and those just aspiring to become rich, all   devilishly cunning although sometimes seeming   disarmingly simple:  all chose their victims with diabolical cleverness.  Their  schemes involve impressive sources of funds-  The Bank of England, leading Art Museums,  Treasure-laden Spanish galleons,  the Nazi overlord,  Hermann Goring. The loot they gleaned was enormous,  and their methods and motivations proof that fact can be  more intriguing than fiction.
