mienten bien


Explanation:
Diría simplemente: "Los sociópatas mienten bien porque no sienten ninguna incomodidad/ansiedad/inquietud// ningún agobio/remordimiento al mentir"

mienten descaradamente / con todo el morro


Explanation:
Mienten sin pestañear / con toda la barba / mienten con desparpajo...

Mienten con suma facilidad...

Sueltan trolas totalmente "auténticas"

Te venden la moto... y tú se la compras sin chistar...

Son capaces de venderle un cubito de hielo a un esquimal... (bueno, ya empiezo a desviarme...)

Te meten gato por liebre... (se me ocurre otra obscena, ... con "torcida"...)

Aunque se coge antes al mentiroso que al cojo... los sociópatas dan la impresión de ser Usain Bolt...

Bueno, por si no hubiera o hubiese bastantes opciones...
