Definition

  • Clifford Irving (1930–), an amiable rogue now living comfortably, chose Howard Hughes as the secondary victim of his fraud, through the fake autobiography he prepared of him in the early 1970s. Through his fabrications, Clifford Irving may well have been one of the earliest celebrity offenders of the genre. [Source: Encyclopedia of White-Collar and Corporate Crime; Irving, Clifford]
