1 perpetrators: "Perpetrators" is the term we were looking for here. The "perpetrator (of a crime)" is the person who "commits" or "does" this action. The related verb "to perpetrate" has a negative connotation, often involving crime. Here's another example: "Richard was the perpetrator of the biggest bank robbery of all time".
2 launched: "Launched" is the right choice. To "launch (an investigation)" is to "start" or "begin" it. Similarly, "to launch (a product)" is to release it onto the market. Another example: "The Delavigne Corporation plans to launch two new perfumes this summer".
3 fraud: "Fraud" is the correct answer. "Fraud" is an illegal activity involving deceiving or tricking someone in order to gain something: usually money. Here's another example: "My boss has been found guilty of fraud: he'd been falsifying the company accounts for years!".
4 motive: "Motive" is the best choice here. Someone's "motive" is their reason for doing something, or their "motivation". "Motive" is often used in a criminal context: "The police know that I had a motive and opportunity to kill my uncle: I need you to be my alibi!".
5 scam: "Scam" is the term we were looking for here. A "scam" is a fraudulent business plan or scheme designed to cheat or obtain money from an unsuspecting person. The related verb to "scam" is the act of tricking or fooling a person out of their money or valuables. Here's another example: "I'm the victim of an online scam: a kid in Ohio took all my money!"

This is not a true statement. Icarus gives Philip a cheque, but Philip tears it up (destroys it), saying "Here, keep your money. I don't need it.". He does not have the cheque at the end of the dialogue, because he has torn it up.
This is a true statement. Philip says angrily "I bet I earn 5 times as much as you" and Icarus corrects him "4.63 times as much in fact, not counting your monthly bonuses". This means that Philip is paid more money than Icarus is. Almost five times more money!
This is a false statement. Philip says "Did I say I flew economy? What I meant to say was, I wish I had flown economy.". Philip never admits or confesses that he flew in economy class.
This statement is true. Icarus says "if your expense form was inaccurate, you would tell me, right? Because technically you'd be committing fraud!". "Fraud" is an illegal misrepresentation of facts: a lie or a trick. Icarus suspects that Philip may be lying and warns him that he should tell the truth.
