Such people exist, and they are fairly common. Organizations like this exist also, and they are fairly common. In either case, a deep emotional need is being met, on the part of the person (or persons) doing the deceiving.
But there is is also a deep emotional need being met on the part of those being deceived. Who are also fairly common.
The classic example was Hitler and the German people in the Thirties. An entire nation was being deceived, and they loved every minute of it!
The Internet has created new forms of deceit, that these people have been quick to adopt. I recently bought a digital camera from Amazon, that was made by a company in China. When it arrived, I could not even get it to turn on!
Amazon has a location, that it maintains, that contains all the reviews by customers of this company. Mine is there, as the most recent one - and more unfavorable reviews right below it. All the legitimate reviews are negative - and highly so. This company is shipping a defective product.
But there are also many highly favorable reviews (over 80 of them) that must have been generated by robots - and these are the ones used by Amazon when recommending their products.
Why it would go to the enormous expense of making a defective product, when it could just as easily made a good one - can only be answered by assuming it wanted to deceive the buying public. When I worked in Silicon Valley, I worked for companies like this, and there are still some of them around.
A few people at the top of a company, set the policies - and the rest of the company has to go along with them.
