And for the kids listening to the show, Tommy Chong is a Canadian-American comedian, actor, and activist, mostly known for his weed humor with comedian Cheech Marin and their classic stoner movies like Up in Smoke and Nice Dreams. In this interview, you’ll hear how Tommy got into comedy, what it was like for Paris to grow up as Tommy Chong’s son, and how they got into the business of selling bongs together, which of course led to Tommy’s arrest in 2003, as part of Operation Pipe Dreams. It’s a wild one, man!

We also explore the devastating impact of the War on Drugs on juvenile incarceration, the dehumanization of youth in the system, and how policing and policy have evolved from Reagan to today.

]]> 'The Boogeyman' with Montel Williams Seena Ghaznavi, Justin Williams, Ariel Leaty, Montel Williams 00:48:01 Welcome to the land of bonus episodes, where we release long-form interviews with a variety of guests about the war on drugs that we recorded in the summer of 2024. Here is our interview with Montel Williams. Now the host of Let’s Be Blunt, the number one rated Cannabis podcast in 2023, Montel Williams was a Marine and Navy officer where he undertook rescue missions and earned multiple medals of distinction. He then transitioned into the world of television where he became a household name with The Montel Williams Show, winning an Emmy in 1996 for Outstanding Talk Show Host. As you’ll hear in this interview, his show often tackled tough, controversial subjects, including the war on drugs and CIA involvement. We’ll hear about his transition from military service to talk show host, how his MS diagnosis led him to become an advocate of cannabis, and how the US used racism to perpetuate the war on drugs.

]]> Profiting Off Punishment: The Kids for Cash Scandal Seena Ghaznavi, Justin Williams, Ariel Leaty, Marsha Levick, Corene Kendrick 01:19:47 Get ready for one of the most sinister and heartbreaking frauds this week – the Kids for Cash scandal. Judges Mark Ciavarella and Michael Conahan turned Pennsylvania’s juvenile justice system into their very own cash cow, sentencing kids to private detention centers they secretly profited from. How else are you gonna clear $330,000 of credit card debt…? From denying legal representation to forcing minors into facilities over petty offenses, their scheme destroyed lives for kickbacks. Join us as we unravel their twisted web of greed and power with guests Marsha Levick co-founder of the Juvenile Law Center and Corene Kendrick of the ACLU.

In the summer of 1989, President George H.W. Bush’s War on Drugs needs a dramatic touch for his first national address: a bag of crack cocaine bought steps from the White House. The DEA zeroes in on Keith Jackson, an unsuspecting young dealer, luring him into a dangerous setup to secure the president’s controversial prop. As Bush’s speech electrifies the nation, Keith faces life-altering consequences, sparking questions about political theater, selective justice, and a deeply flawed system. Tune in now as we dive into the chilling tactics used in America’s zero-tolerance crusade with the help of our guest, journalist Jefferson Morley.

This week, we’re tackling everything from Nancy Reagan’s “Just Say No” crusade to McGruff the Crime Dog and the DARE program. We’re digging up the roots of these campaigns, exploring how they reshaped public perception and exposing the contradictions of Nancy’s White House role. From the scare tactics of Harry Anslinger to those unforgettable ‘80s and ‘90s PSA (“This is Your Brain on Drugs” and so much more) we break down how these campaigns blamed users while ignoring the real issues behind addiction.

This week, we’re tackling everything from Nancy Reagan’s “Just Say No” crusade to McGruff the Crime Dog and the DARE program. We’re digging up the roots of these campaigns, exploring how they reshaped public perception and exposing the contradictions of Nancy’s White House role. From the scare tactics of Harry Anslinger to those unforgettable ‘80s and ‘90s PSA (“This is Your Brain on Drugs” and so much more) we break down how these campaigns blamed users while ignoring the real issues behind addiction.

Hmmm… I wonder why…. All that and we touch on the media’s role in sensationalizing the “crack epidemic,” Congress’s bipartisan support for punitive policies, and all of the devastating consequences of Reagan’s militarization of the War on Drugs.

]]> ‘Tricky Dick’ Nixon’s Public Enemy No. 1 Seena Ghaznavi, Ariel Leaty, Justin Williams, Montel Williams, Sheila Vakharia, Anne Foster 00:57:36 In this episode, we’re diving deep into the art of linguistic manipulation with a profile on one of America’s most racist presidents: Richard Nixon. Last week, we covered how the war on drugs helped fuel a system of police corruption. This week, we’re looking at how Nixon used clever rhetoric and dog-whistle politics to push forward an agenda that has left a lasting impact in the US. We’re talking all things “Law and Order, ” “Southern Strategy,” and Black Capitalism. Tune in to hear how these phrases became instruments of control and deception– tools that are still in use today. It is just as horrific as it sounds! In this episode, we’re diving deep into the art of linguistic manipulation with a profile on one of America’s most racist presidents: Richard Nixon.

It was a simpler time when cops and criminals were one and the same. And the best part? Everyone knew about it and almost no one cared! That is until Frank Serpico came around. He was an idealistic young officer who refused to play along and take part in petty bribes, payoffs, and organized protection rackets and narcotics schemes. His desire to do the right thing is what led to the Knapp Commission and almost cost him his life. He’s not like other cops! Tune in and we’ll tell you all about it!!!

The debate features Harry Anslinger (J-L Cauvin), William Burroughs (Jim Taylor), Baba Ram Dass (Grant Gordon), John Finlator (Holden McNeely), Joel Fort (Greg Carere), Alan Watts (Ryan Feyk), Joseph Oteri (Jack Stansbury), and our Playboy Moderator (Amber Nelson). They really get into it and address claims that cannabis causes psychosis, and talk through its religious significance, the spread of drug disinformation, and so much more. Alongside segments from the original Playboy conversation, Seena, Ariel, and Justin chime in with modern commentary, turns out this decades-old debate is still extremely relevant!

In this episode, we’re diving deep into the story of Billie Holiday. Using three pivotal arrests from her life, we explore how systemic racism and unjust drug enforcement left Billie Holiday as a public target amidst Harry Anslinger and George Hunter White’s war on drugs. From her traumatic childhood to struggles with addiction, Billie’s fight for survival reflected larger issues of government surveillance, a general sense of apathy towards addiction, and the harsh realities of being a Black artist during this era.

]]> George Hunter White Part I - The Ox with Piercing Blue Eyes Seena Ghaznavi, Justin Williams, Ariel Leaty 00:41:59 In this week’s episode, we’re talking all things George Hunter White – an agent at the Federal Bureau of Narcotics and a monster! Maybe the two are synonymous… He infiltrated drug syndicates, tested truth serums, and eventually found his passion venturing into mind control and interrogation techniques for the government. We’ll get into the twists and turns of George Hunter White’s life – from being a crime-chasing journalist to a narcotics agent to an OSS trainer, to coming to terms with the fact that he wasn’t a Chinese man, this guy’s lived a life and done some horrible things along the way!

We’ve got the voices of Harry Anslinger (J-L Cauvin), Dr. Woodward (Ryan Feyk), Representative McCormack (Marcus Parks), and Dr. Munch (Henry Zebrowski) to help us get across the absurdity that was the Marijuana Tax Act hearing. Let’s just say it involved a lot of talk about injecting weed into the brains of dogs. The Marijuana Tax Act furthered Harry’s anti-drug agenda which also involved him manipulating science and the media for decades and included a friendship with Joseph McCarthy. How does he do it all?! We also have the one and only, Montel Williams, host of the Let’s Be Blunt podcast, on to help us fill in the gaps with more context alongside Professor Anne Foster, and Dr. Sheila Vakharia. This one’s a doozy; you'll have to hear it to believe it!

Pretty soon after that, it became public knowledge that Rob and Fab were never the voices behind Milli Vanilli and they started on their journey to become real singers. This journey involved singing coaches, a returned Grammy, press conferences, and trying to prove to the public that they were more than just pretty faces who could dance. It’s a story with lots of highs and lows, and lots of… commercials? Listen now for all the juicy deets!!! performer, press, caught, france, grammy, music, europe, comedy, fraudster, stage, comedians, germany, sing, true crime, pop, trick, commercials, paris, band, fraud, artist, singer, singing true full 112 4 4648c60d-df22-4551-93ef-488434a5fd3c Girl You Know It’s– Milli Vanilli Pt I Girl you know it’s - girl you know it’s - girl you know it’s all about Milli Vanilli this week!!! We dive deep into the tragic story of the band and the producer behind it all, Frank Farian. Sure, Frank set himself up for success, but Rob Pilatus and Fab Morvan, the faces of the group… eh, not so much. Those two were famously just the faces of Milli Vanilli, no matter how hard they pushed Frank to let them sing, he quite literally never gave them a voice. Maybe he had a reason maybe he didn’t, that’s for you to decide!!! We dive into Frank’s background, what led him to create Milli Vanilli, and the gold prison Rob and Frank found themselves stuck inside. That’s showbiz baby!!!

Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened!! In this episode, we dive into our favorite crimes he committed and interview Rod’s attorney, Sam Adam Jr. We can all agree Rod’s accomplished quite a lot throughout his life. We wrap up his story by hitting some of the highlights talking through his trials, from attempting to sell a Senate seat and getting caught in extortion schemes. But much like a phoenix, he rose from the ashes after Trump commuted his prison sentence and then naturally, became a podcast host. At the end of the day Rod just wanted illegal campaign contributions like everyone else and to be adored by the people of Illinois, is that so bad?!

He worked himself all the way up to Congress and the story does not stop there! He ran for Governor of Illinois and won on an anti-corruption platform. Spoiler alert: he was corrupt!!! Rod was on the up and up, sneaking in bits of corruption here and there, that is until he tried to sell then-President-elect Barack Obama's Senate seat. He flew too close to the sun and can you blame him?! There’s so much more to the story and it only gets better (worse) from here!!

We’re back to finish off the story of Jen Shah. In this episode, comedian and Emmy-nominated TV writer, Rae Sanni, serves as our Real Housewives expert helping us dig into Jen’s time on the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. Jen Shah is nothing if not ambitious, she chose to be on national TV while actively running a telemarketing scheme that targeted the elderly. She’s sick and twisted and at the end of the day that’s actually what reality TV is all about!! She wasn’t our most strategic fraudster– her time on the show allowed the feds to grow their case against her and she was famously arrested during the filming of Season 2, which actually makes for great reality TV (toxic!!!). We talk about how she’s doing in prison, and Rae helps us envision the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City’s future without Jen. Spoiler alert: with Jen in prison, it’ll be boring.

In this episode, comedian and Emmy-nominated TV writer, Rae Sanni, serves as our Real Housewives expert helping us dig into Jen’s time on the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. Jen Shah is nothing if not ambitious, she chose to be on national TV while actively running a telemarketing scheme that targeted the elderly.

But of course, we can’t talk about the NOI without at least mentioning Malcolm X and his influence and then ultimately his breaking away from the group. What led to this you ask? Well, it maybe had something to do with Elijah Muhammad’s complicated relationships, financial improprieties, revelations of pregnancies, affairs, and blackmail – classic! We talk about the financial dealings of the NOI and the internal conflicts that led to its fragmentation. But don’t worry, the Nation of Islam is still out there, being led by the one and only Louis Farrakhan!! Listen now for all the juicy details!!

Ooookay, sounds legit! Like any good fraudster, Elijah went through many iterations of his name and title. And you know what, his antics were working!!! He was raking in new followers and new haters and that’s actually #goals because all press is good press baby!!!!

This week we’re back with more Jim Traficant tales to tell with some help from Senator Bob Hagan. Traficant was a complicated man, a hero to some, and a fraudster to… everyone else. We take a walk down memory lane (CSPAN) to look at some of Traficant’s most memorable one-minute speeches AND his frauds from his time in Congress. Eventually, an FBI-led mob investigation brought him down. He represented himself in court (heroic), was expelled from Congress, and then sent to prison. Despite all of Traficant’s wrongdoings, he never forgot his roots at the height of his career. He continued to honor Crimetown, USA by… well… committing crimes. And if that’s not the American spirit, we don’t know what is!

We take a walk down memory lane (CSPAN) to look at some of Traficant’s most memorable one-minute speeches AND his frauds from his time in Congress. Eventually, an FBI-led mob investigation brought him down. He represented himself in court (heroic), was expelled from Congress, and then sent to prison. Despite all of Traficant’s wrongdoings, he never forgot his roots at the height of his career. He continued to honor Crimetown, USA by… well… committing crimes. And if that’s not the American spirit, we don’t know what is!

We’re traveling all the way to Youngstown, Ohio this week to bring you all the hot goss on Fraudster, Jim Traficant. But context is everything, so before we get to the complicated Ohio Congressman, Seena goes over some history and how the rust belt got RUSTY, with the help of our guest, Senator Bob Hagan. Jim Traficant aka Jimbo, was a star college quarterback who could’ve played in the NFL, but instead somehow became the Sheriff of the Mahoning Valley. This man lived quite the life– he was indicted for racketeering, caught in a bribery scheme involving the Pittsburgh and Cleveland mob, and later caught in a civil case against the IRS for - you guessed it - not paying his taxes. Against all odds, he went on to become a Congressman. Nevertheless, he persisted!!

As we learned in our last episode, dealing with money was Pras’s “niche” and it all makes sense now! We untangle the web of Pras’s finance fraud in this episode walking through his relationship with billionaire, Jho Low, the 1MDB scandal (a massive embezzlement scheme that toppled the Malaysian government- no big deal!!), and his latest convictions: money laundering, illegal lobbying, witness tampering, and campaign finance violations. We also have special guest and comedian, Gastor Almonte on to roast Pras and talk Fugees fraud. Buckle up and get ready to LOL!

More like the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill filing her taxes! [cough] SO the joke here is that Lauryn Hill, the only truly talented member of the Fugees, intentionally did not file taxes for FIVE years, which is bad. On the bright side, she got to go to the famous prison from Orange Is the New Black. Tax evasion isn’t all we cover in this episode, in fact, there’s so much more… Lauryn Hill wanted to do good, but sometimes life (Wyclef) just gets in the way. This episode has it all— a love triangle, a big ego getting in the way of true potential, and a few lawsuits here and there!

We deep dive into the recent indictment of Anthony George Devolder Califragilistic Expeala Santos and his merry band of frauds. We uncover the 13 counts of wire fraud, money laundering, theft of public funds, and false statements he's been charged with. From fraudulent political contribution schemes to unemployment insurance fraud, Santos keeps on scammin’. But how did this indictment come about? We take you through Santos's political runs and his connections to a Florida-based investment firm called Harbor City Capital, which turned out to be a - yup - ponzi scheme. But Georgie doesn’t stop even when a research group finds his skeletons: He forms his own charity, runs for office, and starts a talk show. Get ready for a few facepalms as we unravel the web of scams and wait with bated breath if George Santos gets 20 years in prison…or 20 years in the House of Represantives. And he’s only been in office for a few months. Listen now to Part 2 - Elections Have Consequences!

How do these fraudsters get away with it? We interview two people who help us get answers and explain these centers’ mind-melting con tactics. First we speak to the author of the Reproductive Care Act, current San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu. He explains how the bill went from providing women factual information to the Supreme Court ruling in favor of (misleading) free speech. Then we talk to Ashley Underwood the Director of Equity Forward whose activism and research reveals who's behind these multi-million dollar state funded centers. Finally, Ariel and Seena comment on a few fraud centers’ TikTok clips. Good luck ordering your latte with a pap smear because this “coffee shop” has none. Listen now!

]]> Tue, 24 Jan 2023 11:00:00 +0000 thelastpodcastnetwork@gmail.com (Seena Ghaznavi, Justin Williams, Ariel Leaty) https://www.lastpodcastnetwork.com We continue our series on Fake Abortion Centers - not clinics! - who fraudulently represent as medical health care services to pregnant women. How do these fraudsters get away with it? We interview two people who help us get answers and explain these centers’ mind-melting con tactics. First we speak to the author of the Reproductive Care Act, current San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu. He explains how the bill went from providing women factual information to the Supreme Court ruling in favor of (misleading) free speech. Then we talk to Ashley Underwood the Director of Equity Forward whose activism and research reveals who's behind these multi-million dollar state funded centers. Finally, Ariel and Seena comment on a few fraud centers’ TikTok clips. Good luck ordering your latte with a pap smear because this “coffee shop” has none. Listen now!

We discuss how female Don Drapers launched an advertising campaign right after WWII (who needs a sandwich when you can have a diamond?) and created the most successful ad slogan of the 20th century. With the help of an ad agency, De Beers became the original Jacob the Jeweler and outfitted celebrities, films, and tv shows with as many diamonds as they could.

In this episode we talk about how much she got paid while at Blexit and how she collaborated with Kanye. And we’ll show you that Candace Owens’s promoted Freedom Phone is definitely NOT just an Android with an American Flag wallpaper. She also explains how George Floyd was a bad person and therefore deserved to die at the hands of police while she harassed his family. Finally, Candace sees herself in “White Lives Matter”…because she wore the t-shirt? Listen to our latest episode… it’s sad, you’ll laugh, she’s a dumpster fire.

]]> Tue, 20 Dec 2022 13:00:00 +0000 thelastpodcastnetwork@gmail.com (Seena Ghaznavi, Justin Williams, Ariel Leaty, Candace Owens, Thomas Sowell, Donald Trump, George Floyd, Kanye West, jean paul sartre, Tyler Perry, Elon Musk, Shaun King, Rodney King, Herschel Walker) https://www.lastpodcastnetwork.com We’ve reached the end of our Candace Owens series (or is it?). In this episode we talk about how much she got paid while at Blexit and how she collaborated with Kanye. And we’ll show you that Candace Owens’s promoted Freedom Phone is definitely NOT just an Android with an American Flag wallpaper. She also explains how George Floyd was a bad person and therefore deserved to die at the hands of police while she harassed his family. Finally, Candace sees herself in “White Lives Matter”…because she wore the t-shirt? Listen to our latest episode… it’s sad, you’ll laugh, she’s a dumpster fire.

In this episode, we cover Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman's latest scam... a To Catch a Predator show based in DC where they convinced an OnlyFans model to pose as underage girl in the hopes of catching one DC's elite - instead the production crew got marooned in an Airbnb and stiffed on payment.

Martin Shkreli is back fresh off breaking his jailhouse girlfriend's heart with a totally legit Web3 platform that is trying to use the computing power of the blockchain to research cures for underserved communities. He's definitely a changed man... or not.

And finally, Enochian BioSciences is the poor man's Theranos with a side of murder-for-hire. Probably the craziest fraud story coming out of the public markets this year.

But first, let’s talk about the Second Amendment. What was its original intent? How did it get weaponized? We go through some of its backstory to understand where it all comes from, specifically how slavery was actually the real motivation behind the drafting of the Second Amendment. Also, we talk about militias. Who were these guys in the militias? Were they all Rambos? Why did they play a key role in the creation of the Second Amendment? Join us as we uncover the original fraud of the Second Amendment. 

TIMESTAMPS

(1:39) - For our season finale we decided to for the Second Amendment’s case. How did it get weaponized? What was its original intent? Why has the Supreme Court’s interpretation of it shifted over time?

(5:43) - The founding fathers were not fearless, they were fearful and so are current politicians! - How fear has acted as the great mover when an economic or social change is in sight.

(9:44) - The north wants to abolish slavery, the south refuses this and slaves are rebelling. Heads are about to get chopped!

(17:28) - Who participated in the militias? Well, just a collection of ordinary guys. Not soldiers, not marines but Yosemite Sam and Larry the cable guy.

(22:16) - Welcome to the Richmond Conventions! On this side… the Federalists! On the other… the anti-federalists! A unique duel on what to do about the oh-so-powerful militias!

(38:41) - It’s a wrap! The Constitution gets ratified and the anti-federalists lose. So, why did James Madison even bother doing the bill of rights?

(49:17) - The truth about the Second Amendment…there is no right to bear arms in it! But it doesn’t fucking matter because the Supreme Court has voted that’s its meaning.

(22:16) - Welcome to the Richmond Conventions! On this side… the Federalists! On the other… the anti-federalists! A unique duel on what to do about the oh-so-powerful militias!

(38:41) - It’s a wrap! The Constitution gets ratified and the anti-federalists lose. So, why did James Madison even bother doing the bill of rights?

(49:17) - The truth about the Second Amendment…there is no right to bear arms in it! But it doesn’t fucking matter because the Supreme Court has voted that’s its meaning.

We don’t want to hear to another of his albums or watch one of his movies. It’s been three episodes on him when it was supposed to be one! Why? Well isn’t it clear? Tune in, because in this episode we listen to the exquisite lyrics from his second album and look back on his straight-to-DVD movies.

(38:55) - The Lawman was a success with 3.4 million viewers, the most ever for a premiere episode of any series on A&E up until that point. People fucking loved it. So, what went wrong?

(41:48) - Lawman’s resurrection on the cable network Reelz and working with “the worst Sheriff in America.”

(51:51) - “Zen master Steven Seagal to become the brand ambassador for Bitcoin to Jetmaster Zen mess” - Seagal promoting Bitcoin B2G and settling charges with the SEC.

Tune in, because in this episode we listen to the exquisite lyrics from his second album and look back on his straight-to-DVD movies. Of course, Seagal is an equal opportunity cultural appropriator and we’ll see him as a Deputy Sheriff, Russian comrade, and Buddhist God.

We start right where we left off: the 90s! Steven Seagal can do no wrong, all his movies are hits! In this episode, we see him as a director (we know, crazy!), a catastrophic SNL host, and singer. We’re reluctant to say it, but he might actually be good at the guitar. But this show is not about talent, it’s about race hustlers! So, what cultures will he appropriate this time? Tune in and find out!

TIMESTAMPS

(02:24) - It’s the 90s and Steven Seagal is doing incredibly well though getting repeatedly lambasted by journalists and hated by critics.

(26:49) - Swords aren’t his only passion: In 2004, Seagal launches his debut album “Songs from the Crystal Cave.” Oh, and he is Jamaican now…

(36:22) - “Ain’t no black and ain’t no white” - The colorblind blues from his second album and changing ethnicity agaiiin in 2006. 

(38:57) - Bobby Ferrazza tells us something that we might not like buuut it seems Steven Seagal might be a little talented after all.

Yes there's a chance he may get his money back, but it could also NOT happen too! 

NFTs and crypto are a haven for fraudsters, while the underlying software may seem harmless and even altruistic in nature, the scammers use it to take advantage of millions. The entire crypto space is filled with scammers, and while there are rays of hope that the swamp will be drained... it may take a while because for crypto the swamp is as big as the seven seas. 

Special thanks to Mike_Cryptobull of Fight Back Apes, and John Kraski, and Justin Shenkarow of the NFT Heat podcast for sharing their expertise on this episode. 

And huge thanks to Last Podcast Network's own Jackie Zebrowski for doing the lords work.

(38:34) - @MikeCryptobull the detective! - Finding out it was a rug pull and the disappearance of $3.3 million.

(38:16) - The Fight Back Apes! A 100 volunteers get together to build a new project. Also, Mike tells us about Fight Back Apes partnership with Daz3D, and becoming a real company. 

(59:53) - How can you find the Fight Back Apes? Can you join the community? Wanna get involved?

(1:04:30) - So, Seena is investing more money into the same place that just took his money. Oh, and this is where it gets a little weird. What is a gas fee?

It’s just like how Don Corleone once said: “What have we done to deserve this generosity?” Well, nothing, because it always comes with a price. What is BitConnect? How does it work? Who is the man behind this fraud? We’ll also have the privilege to listen closely to why this scam is not new at all: it only has a huge, shiny tech wrap around.

TIMESTAMPS

(2:28) - We are covering the crypto scams! We listen to Carlos Matos’ video where he is drunk on the fiction money he is getting from cryptocurrency.

Where did the money come from? Why would people engage in it? Tune in to listen to the perfect intersection between scams and orgasmic meditations. It is all about power!

We’ve realized that we have a little bit of meat left on the old Rick Singer bone and that is why we decided to make a bonus episode! We cover the cases of actresses Felicity Huffman (Desperate Housewives), Lori Laughlin (Full House), and her husband Mossimo Giannulli (Yes, the 90s Mossimo jeans guy). It seemed like these celebrities made some generous “donations” to the Key Worldwide Foundation but in reality, they were paying to get their daughters into top universities.

(02:07) - We’re covering one of Hollywood’s scandals in hope that, maybe, we can figure out what led the people involved to make the decisions they did. Let’s start with Felicity Huffman!

(08:40) - Art imitating life? Felicity’s career takes off with Desperate Housewives and her tendency to play the role of the well-intended mother. 

(13:37) - Freeze! Felicity is arrested in 2019 for giving $15K to the Key Worldwide Foundation to get her daughter the extra 400 points she needed for her SAT to audition for drama school. 

(23:52) - Doing the same scheme next year for her younger daughter, aborting the mission due to Huffman’s guilt which eventually helped her case (in addition to Eva Longoria’s support letter).

(25:40) - Huffman’s lawyers argue that “she was being unfairly persecuted for being rich,” and the sentence she had to face. Also, what happened to Sofia?

(29:46) - Introducing the fraudster couple: Actress Lori Laughlin and fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli. 

(38:33) - Let’s focus on Olivia Jade’s story because the scheme in her case is better and, well, more documented: The fake athletes and the sentences her parents had to face. 

(45:29) - “I’ve been to one class and I already want to die,” Olivia Jade on USC. Also, we talk with Melissa Korn and Jennifer Levitz about Olivia Jade on the Red Table Talk.

The tech bubble burst and changed the game. Journalists began to ask questions and Enron went from ferocious beast to wounded prey. We have our first whistleblower in the show, Sherron Watkins!

(28:31) - The bright and ambitious “buzz saw” Sherron Watkins tells us about the projects she worked on at Enron and running accross the raptors.

(41:12) -  Pointing the iceberg to the captain with selective blindness - The confusion, the letter, learning more about the fraud, getting evidence together and getting ignored…

(50:53) - Becoming the Whistleblower - Who failed? How did her letter get published? How did it feel to become a troublemaker for her own tribe?

(59:57) - The dog and pony show - Testifying in front of Jeff Skilling. “Things go wrong when smart people stop asking questions,” and some final words from Sherron.

Many historically significant figures generate lore. Some say Shakespeare had a ghostwriter. Some say Nikola Tesla designed blueprints for a "death ray" before his passing. Some say Thomas Jefferson drank breast milk!

Few theories, however, are as wild and as widely entertained as the Hitler Diaries were.

On the 12th episode of Fraudsters Season 1, we talk where the myth began and how it snowballed into 62 forged Hitler diaries lauded as true by some of the foremost historians and news outlets in Europe.

So excited to share this episode with all the Spotifites out there.

Love,

Seena, Justin, Hazel, and Marie

This is an episode full of music and singing from our melodious voices, yay! Let’s give it a warm and cozy welcome to our latest professional Fraudster: Jacob Wohl. This is the first part of The Wohl Story, and we can’t help but wonder if this is fiction, crime or fraud: For the next episodes, you’ll be hearing about the tedious story of a young fraudster that, with less than 20 years old, already had a long fraud record history with hedge funds. We will remember Miss Cleo… but we’ll discover that fraudsters share some traits you would never imagine. So, let your imagination run wild, and discover the real reason why the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

TIMESTAMPS

(01:57) With an introductory musical special, we present Jacob Wohl: our young criminal who committed several financial misdeeds before his 20's.

(13:30) The apple doesn't fall far from the tree: Meet David Wohl and a dip into the business of a kid who couldn't even legally buy alcohol.

(16:47) "Mr. Young Capitalism," "The Wohl of Wall Street": Jacob's road to hedge funds. 2015 was on fire!

(30:06) What the f**k is a CTA? what the hell is a commodity?: we explain it to you in a nutshell.

(37:28) “The dumb money is great money to have”: Take it easy! An expert breaks down Jacob's red flags and absurd numbers.

(55:32) 2016 and Jacob’s story  continues: The good people of Arizona are at risk but a suicide case and an undercover mission lead to Jacob's arrest.
