Why 8th Circle? In Dante’s Divine Comedy the eighth circle of Hell is dedicated to the counselors of fraud, individuals who provided fraudulent advice, or those that used fraud to bring about the downfall of others.  I’ve had a front row seat watching fraudsters try to destroy lives and businesses.  For me it is personal, I don’t like fraudsters.
