that's not a good differentiator because by the definition you have just given, any fraudster who themselves convinces themselves to believe their scam is no longer committing a scam. I reject that suggestion.

from the startup world, uBeam is a fraud, it's a scam: but it doesn't matter if their intent is valid or if they have convinced themselves to believe it. (I mention this as it's one of the only examples from the startup world.)

the legal situation may be different, but as a practical matter I don't think what you're saying is enough.
