psychopaths can be really hard to detect
being extremely cunning and charming
having an oversized sense of self-worth
and being pathological liars that can be
easily confused with overconfidence or
that they are simply telling the truth
you don't think you've conned anybody no
anna's refusal to acknowledge wrongdoing
is disconcerting now
but traits such as lacking any kind of
empathy can be useful to unmask them if
you know where to look and a great
example is the interview that 60 minutes
australia did to anna sorokin and i was
a con artist in new york who was found
guilty in 2019 a theft of services and
grand larceny having scanned more than
200 thousand dollars from banks and
luxury hotels she went by the name anna
delvey fooling everyone into thinking
that she was a billionaire aries
maintaining the scam for several years
and live a luxury lifestyle what i found
in this interview is that she displays
three typical traits of psychopaths that
you can learn to spot and upgrade your
human reading skills welcome back my
body language buddies my name is jesus
enrique rosas i'm the body language guy
and it would be great if you join us by
just liking this video subscribe and
hitting that bell let's get down to it
the first signal that you are going to
spot is that they never display any kind
of hesitation psychopaths are ultimately
cunning and devoid of any kind of
empathy towards other human beings
normal people always have this sort of
interaction anxiety we are aware that
our actions are going to have reactions
in those around us that's why we
sometimes hesitate or are nervous or
maybe stutter a bit or look to decide
something normal human beings have this
sort of noise in our communication but
once psychopaths know what they want and
how to get it there is no hesitation
there will be no nervousness because
there is absolutely nothing inside them
to care about the opinion of others in
fact that's exactly what she says at one
point of the interview
i don't care what you think of me i
don't need your approval i don't need to
impress you
i don't care what you think of me i
don't need your approval i need to
impress you yeah that's it and you could
tell that she was being a snarky too
some of them would try to disguise
themselves as clumsy or forgetful but it
always is going to look a stage what a
psychopath craves is power over everyone
and everything around them and they will
find amusing for example how people can
be mesmerized by a 100 dollar bill tip
well if someone is impressed by a
hundred dollar bill i don't know what to
tell them
[Applause]
well i guess the wolf of wall street
would be proud but jokes aside if you
watch that same clip you'll notice that
there is absolutely no hesitation in the
way she talks well if someone is
impressed by a hundred dollar bill i
don't know what to tell them
well if someone is impressed by a
hundred dollar bill i don't know what to
tell them
the only way i could spot that subtle
eyebrow race is because i had a high
definition video that i could watch in
slow motion quite a few times until i
got it but precisely you are not looking
for facial expressions but the lack of
them and you might say that there are
cultures like the russians who in
general terms don't have many facial
expressions or you don't have many
facial expressions say you know you're
not a psychopath right but even so
russians or people with few facial
expression are going to express
hesitation in other ways the way they
talk the way they move some sleep of the
tongue etc if a person doesn't show
hesitation at all that's what you are
looking for but there are some facial
emotions that you can spot and in this
case the most important thing is to
confirm that they contradict their own
words watch the next clip closely do you
feel bad about some of the people that
got burnt along the way
can you name me the names of the people
and i'll tell you if i feel bad about
them
well to start she's deflecting the
question because he did not ask if there
were a specific people that made her
feel bad she asked the question in
general and she responds with another
question trying to make it specific
that's deflecting but her face reveals
her true emotions in a split second and
tells us that her feelings towards those
she scammed are nothing but contempt and
this is the kind of mistakes that
psychopaths make they enjoy themselves
trying to outsmart people she could have
said for some of them yes i feel bad but
instead she tried to outwit the
interviewer in doing so she
inadvertently let her face talk first
these are the mistakes that enable the
second skill that you need to uncover
psychopaths they enjoy themselves being
pathological liars but a psychopath will
enjoy the most trying to fool who they
consider a smart person or a hard target
and this is a personal strategy that
i've used in interrogations you know
that a psychopath is going to try to
outsmart anyone that they feel like a
worthy opponent in anna's case the
manager of a luxury hotel or the
director of a bank or anyone in her path
the more worthy the opponent and the
bigger the possible reward the more
excited will be the narcissistic side of
the psychopath so what you do is
disguise yourself as a dumb person you
play dumb playing dumb is like a cloak
that instills boredom in the psychopath
i have no patience for people's
stupidity
they go like this is going to be easy
and when any human being psychopath or
not psychopath has this thought we relax
and then you raise the odds of them
making a mistake remember that even
pathological liars need to keep track of
what they say because they don't tell
the same story to everyone it's like
they have a main narrative i'm a
billionaire aries but with different
versions that they adjust and change so
many times that in the end it makes less
sense than the whole x-men movie
universe and no amount of michael
fassbender can say that that's why i
like to play colombo that fictional
detective that was clumsy forgetful
playing dumb and he knew how to ask the
right question at the right moment after
making the suspect believe that he was
no threat again in trying to outsmart
people they will make mistakes and give

the third signal is that most of the
time they look like everyone else but
with a twist and that was the foundation
that you tried to get the 22 million
dollars
fraudulently as it turns out why you
seem so amused about this
if you take a good look at anna's
appearance she doesn't look anything
like a femme fatale she's not katherine
trammell that's for sure and the way
that she talks in a very sweet manner
only adds to the impression that she is
harmless it would be interesting to know
the way she talked to people when she
was playing the confidence trick on them
because voice stone plays a lot into how
do people measure your character and
approach you it reminds me of elizabeth
holmes and the theron's scam because she
used to make her voice sound deeper to
appear more authoritative but in anna's
case how do you bring attention to
yourself in a city that they practically
have seen it all in the interview she
says that she really didn't have to say
that many times that she was going to
inherit 60 million dollars because in
those banks and hotels i would not turn
heads what she ultimately did was craft
this non-existent project of a 22
million dollar art club in one of the
most expensive streets of the city and i
can guess that she could pull the scam
just because she could talk to people
straight to their faces with absolutely
no emotion like i did have this project
i did have this vision and it probably
would have worked out if i did have the
money so but you didn't have the money
that's why the project was no good if i
would have gotten the money from the
bank
she had absolutely nothing to lose
because guess what she had nothing so
she could just talk to these bankers lie
to their faces in the most outrageous
way possible and simply don't care if
they decided to make a move or not since
she would never display anger sadness or
disappointment or joy or euphoria no
matter the outcome people could only
have thought that she meant business the
whole anna delvey foundation your whole
business was just this house of cards
it wasn't real anna
what is real
how do you define real
so many businesses are just a house of
cards you just don't know about it
you'll be amazed at how much you can
achieve with that level of confidence
and especially not caring a single bit
of what people could say or think about
you that confidence contrasting with her
non-remarkable appearance and an exotic
accent help her a lot but that's a
behavior trait that you can spot that
self-confidence to the point of being
delusional no matter how they look how
tall are they how they dress known of
that matters and the truth is that the
first reaction that you're going to have
when you meet this kind of people is
admiration because they seem to get what
they want in an almost effortless way
and you wish you had the same power i'm
not saying that everyone that has
overconfidence is a psychopath but it's
a really good clue to spot one one more
thing do you see this whole thing as a
victimless crime
i don't see this case as a crime at all
