SAYINGS:

"[T]he fertility of man's invention in devising new schemes of fraud is so great that courts have
declined to define it, reserving to themselves the liberty to deal with it under whatever form it
may present itself." In the case at bar the fraudulent scheme is evidenced by a series of related
acts committed one after another, silently, quietly and surreptitiously. Our jurisprudence
abounds with cases where fraud had been held to exist but we have found none in which all the
circumstances above indicated are present, the circumstances being varied as the men who
schemed the fraud in each case.
