please update the description. It is Ophthalmology not sinus surgeon
seems like there's still a lot of money missing.
I wonder if their marketing got them in trouble with the Water Wetter radiator additive
Look up Rudy Ruettiger's Rudy beverage scam. The guy who was immortalized in a movie about Notre Dame football is nothing more than a slimy con man. He swindled millions from working class people, like me, in a pump and dump stock scam. Rot in hell, Rudy.
Kim sounds like a strong independent woman who was too proud to admit she was out of her depth. I don't think she was crooked so much as stupid. Gavin is the most annoying character ever profiled and on the series that's saying a lot.
I get that he is gross, and I agree. But his weight is not a factor here, stop the fat jokes.
Maybe a dingo stole her😳
The Podcast with the worst Sound quality. And they have the cheek to ask for Money!
great podcast, I really like going through your old well investigated scandals. The crumbs need to be exposed. but it's creepy how you try to throw as many Republicans under the bus, as you can without any evidence at all.
Awesomeness at its best. Love your show, been binge listening the last month. ❤️❤️
This would make a great movie.
Jack Luna sent me, and I'm glad he did. This is some good pod.
always amazing , well researched, stories.best podcast out there
I’ve always felt the wife should’ve gotten jail time too. Most ENTs don’t live like that. If she were a girl with no education I’d believe she was naive but I doubt he was the only Dr. she knew. She enjoyed the (fraudulent) good life and then turned on him once the money was gone.
another awesome episode. 👏👏👏
different story to most. not on their level but the concerned citizen was extra sarcastic ha ha
i work in a factory. OSHA is EXTREMELY insistent on lock out tag out to prevent this sort of thing. So many common sense precautions were completely ignored in both of these stories. I can't imagine England is more lax than we are.
I've seen ovens like those Harvestime ovens. The story turns my stomach and everyone involved is an idiot.
all those adds in such a short podcast. Trump would be proud! Trump 2024!
amazing episode
