Hi Lynne,
If you're around and have time can you answer a question of mine?
This is going to sound odd but I figured you'd know.
My uncle worked for the FBI for years. Over the weekend we went to his house for dinner and he began to explain how many mafia guys he arrested attempted to fake insanity. He claims that althogh most people who fake insanity get caught by one professonial or another once in awhile one of them will actually get away with it.
According to my uncle what a really good crook will do is fake insanity VERY young before they have any bad record on them. That way the "I"m a lunatic" stage is set before they get into legal trouble.
This struck me as really weird. Is it possible for someone to completely fake insanity and get away with it? Like is it actually possible to fake insanity so well that you can fool dozens of professionals such as doctors, nurses, orderlies, etc?
I'm just wondering because the concept struck me as strange. I would think that you'd be caught eventually but according to my uncle a good few of these criminals managed to fake madness, do a week or two in an asylum and then go home to a family member. That way even if they were ever suspected of doing something illegal it was very difficult to convict them.
Anyway I know it's a weird question but you know an amazing amount about insanity and I was just wondering if you think it's possible to fool that many professionals into believing your'e crazy.
Thanks. :)
