I once had to testify in court about a woman - a friend - who duped our entire community into believing she was doing great things for a local nonprofit. She fooled the lawyers, the bankers, paid her staff to keep quiet. And when we began to suspect, she announced she was just diagnosed with cancer, throwing us temporarily off the track as we empathized with her (fabricated) illness. What I learned is sociopaths have no concept of right or wrong and an absolute genius for playing any role necessary to achieve their goals. There is no affect, no remorse, because there is no there there.
