What is 骗 in this context anyway? Is it cheating or fraud? I think you mean Chen is a fraud. But like it or not, a line between fraud and exploration is never easy to draw. And it is up to the court to judge whether there is a fraud after all dust settled and all truth told.
Yes Chen has cheated, but does that mean the whole thing is a fraud? You can say Chen is not qualified for his job so he is a fraud.
