Summary: The pressure is on. The boss notices you’ve maxed out the company credit card on “business trips” to Barbados and lavish dinners with important “clients” like your best friend’s wife. Some people fess up and face the music. Others fake their deaths, ditch their lives and try to start over. Senior Editor Nancy Miller hosts a discussion between Executive Editor Thomas Goetz and Evan Ratliff about what it takes to really disappear. Evan also details his vanishing act experiment. He’s currently on the lam. If you can find him before September 15th, you’ll win $5,000. From Crank calls, to viral YouTube pranksters, and tweets from celebrity-imposters, it’s never been easier to find suckers to fool. Nancy and fellow Senior Editor Jason Tanz discuss the anatomy of a perfect hoax.
