Whenever my mom says “Tell the truth you won’t be in trouble.” I would almost always end up telling the truth and i end up getting in trouble and she would talk to my dad and all kinds of things, what’s the most successful Lie in History?

I feel like it would have to be one of the many lies that Juan Pujol Garcia made in WWII.

He was a double agent for British intelligence. Won the highest Military honor in Britain AND in Germany. This man lied his way into the spy business, and proceeded to completely hoodwink German intelligence.
