    An interesting case for psychology researchers?


    The word that's been doing the rounds, apparently from "high up figures" is psychopath. Which was what I labeled him as more than 14 years ago.

    Not the axe-wielding violent Norman Bates stereotype, you understand. There are hard-nosed businessmen in the world who can turn a deal at another's expense by bending the rules a bit and savour the victory, but to cynically exploit people who are actively trying to help you, takes a complete lack of shame, empathy or understanding of right and wrong that strays into the territory of a psychopath...


    The term you are looking for is sociopath, not psychopath.
