Cheating used to be a lot easier to get away with. Heck, some scoundrels had second families!
But as technology has become ever more enmeshed with human lives and as those lives have become increasingly tracked and documented by social media, it’s much easier for would-be-cheaters to trip up and get caught…or tagged.
If you find yourself trending on Twitter with your own hashtag it usually means you’ve messed up.
Here are 17 people who almost got away with cheating but then got gloriously (and often publicly) caught.
