No question, persistence is a critical trait in being and staying successful.
Still, I am reminded by Warren Buffetts quote on the other characteristics which are more important :
"Somebody once said that in looking for people to hire, you look for three qualities: integrity, intelligence, and energy. And if you don't have the first, the other two will kill you. You think about it; it's true. If you hire somebody without [integrity], you really want them to be dumb and lazy"
So, lack of integrity or fraud can kill persistence, especially if found guilty.
