Lots and lots and lots of people are already lying. Hard to compete with that. [Edit] A quant analyst working at some firm was told to steal Bernie Madoff's lunch. When he realized Bernie was 100% accurate on his predictions and it was obviously bullshit, he told his bosses, and filed four appeals with the SEC, but no one would listen: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_One_Would_Listen
