Research in cultural entrepreneurship specifically looks at the cultural work involved in deceiving audiences through the dramatization of entrepreneurial stories. Yet, we argue that this rather narrow focus, as well as the analysis of antecedents and consequences of entrepreneurial fraud among scholars of organizational wrongdoing, fall short in capturing how entrepreneurs carry out criminal deception\u2014employing deception to defraud audiences. Specifically, we lack an understanding of the cultural and organizing work involved in criminal deception. To advance a theory of criminal deception at the culture-organizing interface, we inductively analyze court data of Silicon Valley ventures and their entrepreneurs prosecuted for fraud between 2000-2023. Our findings reveal a process of fa\u00e7ading through which entrepreneurs construct, perform, and protect illusory appearances\u2014fa\u00e7ades that project high-growth venture performance to audiences while masking ventures\u2019 actual, subpar performance. We identify three forms of fa\u00e7ading\u2014surface, reinforced, and deep fa\u00e7ading\u2014that are contingent on the severity of the expectation-reality gap that entrepreneurs face and the nature of the audiences they must convince. Our theoretical framework captures how the<br>level of sophistication in fa\u00e7ading corresponds to widening expectation-reality gaps, wherein entrepreneurs detach the venture\u2019s externally projected appearance from its actual operational reality. We make contributions to the literatures on cultural entrepreneurship, organizational wrongdoing, and the social effects of entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/acrobat.adobe.com\/id\/urn:aaid:sc:EU:b9971e70-9322-472a-b691-f9850d37e86c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">More info<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>October 16th, 20252:30pm \u2013 4pm in Village Building (B252) &amp;
