From Black Swan Murder to a fake social media influencer to an audacious Hollywood Ponzi schemer, each season will take the listener along the twists and turns, the impact on victims, and what’s left when the facade falls away.

it was pretty hilarious to hear the federation member claim the organization is not a cartel just because it's legal when what the QMSP/FMSP is doing is the EXACT definition of a cartel 😂
"I don't believe in prison..." someone please explain that comment 🤔😅
I don't really understand why they get weirdly stereotypical and a bit racist about French people, the accent is so off as well...
Anyone who didn't already know would infer from this episode that 'Rebecca' the original novel was German. Rather, it is English, having been written by English author Daphne Du Maurier, and set in Cornwall, where Du Maurier lived and where most of her works are set. And 'the housekeeper' is Mrs Danvers - is there anybody who doesn't recognize that name? I like this series, but the ignorance / dumbing down sometimes feels a bit deliberate.
First time I listened... Martha episodes. Your eye rolls were heard loud and clear. You hated on her so hard. Does Martha's success threaten you in some way? Just because a wealthy person has a life changing event, ie: conviction and prision, doesn't mean they must get out and champion some holy cause. Maybe she just wants to have fun with the last few years of life and not take herself as seriously anymore. The woman is in her 80's for heavens sake. Are all the episodes this judgey? Chill.

this episode was so dull
doesn't surprise me one bit that there are real Canadians who don't buy in to the policies and programs of the Nazi, physco, dictator, who runs that country. One day I pray that both the good people of Canada and the United States will wake up and vote these morons out of office.
Yes Americans know that maple syrup comes from trees. Many people tap trees themselves, thanks to indigenous people teaching colonists how, so many years ago.
He's referring to Tylenol remaining a household name despite the tampering crime of 1982 in Chicago, which led to seven deaths.
I'm SOOOOOOOOOOO fuckin sick of podcasts reairing episodes. Do hosts not have enough respect to give us some actual content?
liked the pod but all these 'encorw' episodes are ridicules. the podcast doesn't even have enough episodes to be doing throw backs at this point.
so embarrassed for the hosts.... it feels like getting my babysitter to attempt to read a CNN story.
I was enjoying the pods for the most part, then arrived at the Guru episode where the hosts bash white women. I guess racism is fine if it's towards whites. Unsub.
This was probably a good story, but I can't stand the racism. Peace ✌️
...how?
what does him loving Trump have anything to do with this... quit alienating ppl with your leftist views. I have listened for a while but am sick of politics in episodes...
it stated off fine with some decent stories, but the last two listened to, Tom Brady as well as the Nigeria sister were absolutely pitiful. pure fluff. also, the two hosts just cant stop referencing themselves and the sad pop culture that they are obsessed with. bye
I'm done with podcast, each episode is worse than the last
comparing Tom Brady to Kim Kardashian made me throw up in my mouth.
