Picture this: it’s the mid-'90s. Coolio’s Gangsta’s Paradise dominates the airwaves, and America’s crime hysteria is peaking. It’s the perfect time for a new villain to emerge: the “superpredator.” Tune in as we unravel the fear-mongering myth born from flawed statistics, Ivy League arrogance, and moral panic—spearheaded by Princeton professor John DiIulio. We explore how this theory intersected with the 1994 Crime Bill, fueling mass incarceration and devastating policies, with guests Kris Henning (Director of the Juvenile Justice Clinic at Georgetown Law) and Yasmin Cader (Deputy Director at the ACLU). Through stories like Terrance Lewis’s—wrongfully imprisoned for 22 years—we reveal the human cost of a lie that reshaped America’s justice system.Follow The Show:Twitter: https://twitter.com/fraudstersLPNInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fraudsterslpn/Discord: https://discord.gg/WRZ8zgusPTWebsite: https://fraudsters.fm/ Follow the Hosts: https://www.instagram.com/seenanow/?hl=enhttps://www.instagram.com/justin_williams_comedyhttps://twitter.com/arielleaty Follow Our Guests:https://x.com/profkrishenninghttps://www.instagram.com/yasmin_cader/?hl=en Sources:https://www.newsweek.com/did-liberals-put-black-america-behind-bars-297096[↩︎](about:blank#fnref1)Martinson, R.

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.

This week we’re taking a step back to Miami, 1987. South Beach is buzzing, and the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI) looks like any other bank—until you take a closer look. BCCI was no ordinary financial institution. It was a global hub for money laundering, arms deals, and shady alliances with everyone from Columbian drug lords to CIA operatives. In this episode, we unravel the rise and fall of BCCI, led by Agha Hasan Abedi. From secretive offshore accounts to "rent-a-face" deals with Arab monarchs, this was a bank that did it all...until it all fell apart.

Get ready for a deep dive into America’s anti-drug propaganda! 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.Follow The Show:Twitter: https://twitter.com/fraudstersLPNInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fraudsterslpn/Discord: https://discord.gg/WRZ8zgusPTWebsite: https://fraudsters.fm/ Follow the Hosts:https://www.instagram.com/seenanow/?hl=enhttps://www.instagram.com/justin_williams_comedyhttps://twitter.com/arielleaty Sources for this episode:https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1987/03/06/971087.html?pageNumber=103https://www.popsci.com/science/article/2013-03/science-psas-do-anti-drug-ads-keep-kids-drugs/https://www.marketplace.org/2019/03/26/advertisings-war-drugs-also-failed/https://www.npr.org/2013/04/28/179658317/anti-drug-psas-do-they-workhttps://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/takeaway/segments/how-nancy-reagan-shaped-war-drugshttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1447241/Clip Links:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOnENVylxPIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aB4rVJsy8z8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQXgVM30mIY&t=233shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hivkBw2JKfY&t=35shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KCAGzNv_QIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSFaDeRpSHAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJcbSbpr8w4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rb8z2BMrd60https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFE86cyltmUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ISXS5c5Cnkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2oqCf9i3rc&t=2542shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQEG8j0lgeEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EjUzterCf4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHQQwp_MpvUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOcNXoYsnWUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnHCnGRz7i4https://www.uppermichiganssource.com/video/2024/06/11/return-dare-how-curriculum-has-changed-up-schools/ Subscribe to SiriusXM Podcasts+ on Apple Podcasts to listen to ad-free new episodes.

We're not done with Reagan just yet! This week, we’re honing in on the crack epidemic and its devastating impact on Black communities. We unpack the 1980s shift in American politics, where Reagan's policies expanded Nixon's "War on Drugs" and utilized racially coded language to criminalize Black Americans. We’ve got expert guests, Yasmin Cader, Dr. Sheila Vakharia, and Professor Anne Foster on the show to talk through the anti-drug legislation that introduced harsh mandatory minimums and sentencing disparities, targeting crack cocaine users disproportionately over powdered cocaine users. 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.Follow The Show:Twitter: https://twitter.com/fraudstersLPNInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fraudsterslpn/Discord: https://discord.gg/WRZ8zgusPTWebsite: https://fraudsters.fm/ Follow the Hosts: https://www.instagram.com/seenanow/?hl=enhttps://www.instagram.com/justin_williams_comedyhttps://twitter.com/arielleaty Follow Our Guests:https://x.com/alfhistoryhttps://www.instagram.com/myharmreduction/?hl=enhttps://x.com/myharmreductionhttps://www.instagram.com/yasmin_cader/?hl=en Sources for this episode:https://www.brown.edu/Research/Understanding_the_Iran_Contra_Affair/v-on16.php[↩︎](about:blank#fnref1)https://millercenter.org/president/reagan/essays/reagan-1981-firstlady[↩︎](about:blank#fnref2)https://www.newspapers.com/image/313590547/[↩︎](about:blank#fnref3)https://www.reaganfoundation.org/ronald-reagan/nancy-reagan/her-causes/[↩︎](about:blank#fnref4)https://www.nytimes.com/1987/06/23/world/from-an-iranian-middleman-his-side-of-the-story.html[↩︎](about:blank#fnref5)https://www.teenvogue.com/story/what-was-iran-contra[↩︎](about:blank#fnref6)https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4475045/user-clip-neat-idea[↩︎](about:blank#fnref7)https://theconversation.com/ronald-reagans-westminster-speech-why-it-is-still-relevant-40-years-later-183684[↩︎](about:blank#fnref8)https://www.brown.edu/Research/Understanding_the_Iran_Contra_Affair/iran-contra-affairs.php[↩︎](about:blank#fnref9)https://nsarchive2.gwu.edu/NSAEBB/NSAEBB2/storm.htm[↩︎](about:blank#fnref10)https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/the-rise-and-fall-and-rise-and-fall-of-ricky-ross/[↩︎](about:blank#fnref11) Subscribe to SiriusXM Podcasts+ on Apple Podcasts to listen to ad-free new episodes.

This week, we’re finally taking on Reagan and his starring role in the War on Drugs—there’s so much to unpack, we had to make it a two-parter. Reagan tackled the drug problem with the subtlety of a sledgehammer, ramping up incarcerations for nonviolent offenses and turning the fight against drugs into a military operation. In part one, we dive into Iran-Contra, Regan’s "October Surprise," Oliver North’s CV, and Freeway Ricky Ross—talking about how it all helped fuel the crack epidemic of the '80s.Follow The Show:Twitter: https://twitter.com/fraudstersLPNInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fraudsterslpn/Discord: https://discord.gg/WRZ8zgusPTWebsite: https://fraudsters.fm/ Follow the Hosts: https://www.instagram.com/seenanow/?hl=enhttps://www.instagram.com/justin_williams_comedyhttps://twitter.com/arielleaty Sources for this episode:https://www.brown.edu/Research/Understanding_the_Iran_Contra_Affair/v-on16.php[↩︎](about:blank#fnref1)https://millercenter.org/president/reagan/essays/reagan-1981-firstlady[↩︎](about:blank#fnref2)https://www.newspapers.com/image/313590547/[↩︎](about:blank#fnref3)https://www.reaganfoundation.org/ronald-reagan/nancy-reagan/her-causes/[↩︎](about:blank#fnref4)https://www.nytimes.com/1987/06/23/world/from-an-iranian-middleman-his-side-of-the-story.html[↩︎](about:blank#fnref5)https://www.teenvogue.com/story/what-was-iran-contra[↩︎](about:blank#fnref6)https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4475045/user-clip-neat-idea[↩︎](about:blank#fnref7)https://theconversation.com/ronald-reagans-westminster-speech-why-it-is-still-relevant-40-years-later-183684[↩︎](about:blank#fnref8)https://www.brown.edu/Research/Understanding_the_Iran_Contra_Affair/iran-contra-affairs.php[↩︎](about:blank#fnref9)https://nsarchive2.gwu.edu/NSAEBB/NSAEBB2/storm.htm[↩︎](about:blank#fnref10)https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/the-rise-and-fall-and-rise-and-fall-of-ricky-ross/[↩︎](about:blank#fnref11)Clip Links: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ip-tN81yrWg&t=33shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWEm6g0iQNI&t=2506shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Km3dx7wppA&t=49shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ld2KOv_zWWw&t=23shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLWcgt55sgQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ct3UxB696D4&t=87shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhtE70ucKOY&t=332s Subscribe to SiriusXM Podcasts+ on Apple Podcasts to listen to ad-free new episodes.

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.

This week we’re diving deep into the sick and twisted and well, corrupt underbelly of the NYPD during the 1960s and 70s. 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!

In this week’s episode, we bring to life a 1970 panel discussion hosted by Playboy magazine, where key figures from law enforcement, academia, medicine, and counterculture clash over cannabis. 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!

God Bless the Child that tunes into Fraudsters this week! 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.Follow The Show:Twitter: https://twitter.com/fraudstersLPNInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fraudsterslpn/Discord: https://discord.gg/WRZ8zgusPTWebsite: https://fraudsters.fm/ Follow the Hosts: https://www.instagram.com/seenanow/?hl=enhttps://www.instagram.com/justin_williams_comedyhttps://twitter.com/arielleaty Sources for this episode:https://ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/pdf/10.2105/AJPH.62.7.995https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/01/drug-war-the-hunting-of-billie-holiday-114298/https://time.com/5638316/war-on-drugs-opium-history/National Archives: The United States vs. Billie Holiday Subscribe to SiriusXM Podcasts+ on Apple Podcasts to listen to ad-free new episodes.

In this week’s episode, we dive deeper into the sick and twisted mind of George Hunter White. We’re talking Operation Midnight Climax and everything that led up to the CIA’s most disturbing experiments. And of course, this includes a primer on “Poisoner in Chief” Sidney Gottlieb, who also enjoyed conducting LSD experiments on unsuspecting patients. They sprayed harmful chemicals over San Francisco and dosed prisoners for months, permanently altering the lives of many, including the Unabomber. And that’s all before we even get to Operation Midnight Climax – a freaky experiment to study mind control and sex.

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!Follow The Show:Twitter: https://twitter.com/fraudstersLPNInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fraudsterslpn/Discord: https://discord.gg/WRZ8zgusPTWebsite: https://fraudsters.fm/ Follow the Hosts: https://www.instagram.com/seenanow/?hl=enhttps://www.instagram.com/justin_williams_comedyhttps://twitter.com/arielleaty Sources for this episode:A Terrible Mistake: The Murder of Frank Olsen by HP AlbarelliCIA's Secret Cold War Experiments, Drugs as Weapons Against Us by John PotashAcid Dreams The Complete Social History of LSD by Martin Lee and Bruce ShlainChasing the Scream by Johann Hari Subscribe to SiriusXM Podcasts+ on Apple Podcasts to listen to ad-free new episodes.

We’re wrapping up the story on Harry Anslinger with the help of some incredible guests this week. 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?!

Harry Anslinger has now entered the chat. Meet the villainous mind who helped get us to where we are today in this one-sided “war” on drugs. This guy’s got it all: a strong anti-drug stance likely related to childhood trauma, racist tendencies and he’s a failed jazz musician – throw in some intense xenophobia and you’ve got the first commissioner of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics! Tune into this episode to hear more about this man’s hobbies, like his obsession with racehorse doping and manipulating the media to spread misinformation. Follow The Show:Twitter: https://twitter.com/fraudstersLPNInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fraudsterslpn/Discord: https://discord.gg/WRZ8zgusPTWebsite: https://fraudsters.fm/ Follow the Hosts: https://www.instagram.com/seenanow/?hl=enhttps://www.instagram.com/justin_williams_comedyhttps://twitter.com/arielleaty Follow Our Guests:https://x.com/alfhistoryhttps://www.instagram.com/myharmreduction/?hl=enhttps://x.com/myharmreduction Sources for this episode:The Long War on Drugs by Anne FosterChasing the Scream by Johann HariThe Protectors by John Williamshttps://www.case.org/system/files/media/file/Penn Stater Harry Anslinger.pdf[https://journals.psu.edu/pmhb/article/download/44423/44144https://medium.com/timeline/harry-anslinger-racist-war-on-drugs-prison-industrial-complex-fb5cbc281189https://www.newspapers.com/image/17583610/https://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/237233/first-drug-czar-targeted-illegal-narcotics-in-racinghttps://museum.dea.gov/sites/default/files/2021-09/Standing in the Shadows 10152014--Accessible.pdfhttps://time.com/5638316/war-on-drugs-opium-history/https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/01/drug-war-the-hunting-of-billie-holiday-114298/Media Links:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_vo0UEteKU  Music Credit and Sound Fx:https://twitter.com/gograntgordon Subscribe to SiriusXM Podcasts+ on Apple Podcasts to listen to ad-free new episodes.

We’re back and better than ever baby! We’re shaking things up this time around and dedicating this entire season to breaking down the systemic fraud that is The War on Drugs. Would you believe us if we told you that this “war” has cost over a trillion dollars?? AND has ruined the lives of many in countless ways?! But before we get there, jump into the Introduction to Season 5 where our guest, Professor Anne Foster, author of “The Long War on Drugs,” helps us wade through the historical context of it all. It turns out people have been using drugs for medicinal use AND as a means of discrimination and control for thousands of years!

Join us for our last episode of season four as we close out the story of Milli Vanilli! We pick up right where we left off last week with the infamous track slip during Milli Vanilli’s live show that actually ended up making them MORE popular. 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?

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!!! Follow The Show: Twitter: https://twitter.com/fraudstersLPNInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fraudsterslpn/Discord: https://discord.gg/WRZ8zgusPTWebsite: https://fraudsters.fm/Follow the Hosts: https://twitter.com/seenanowhttps://www.instagram.com/justin_williams_comedyhttps://twitter.com/arielleaty YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQwl8sDTVEAxhwJdYgm-yrgIntro Music Credit and Sound Fx:https://twitter.com/gograntgordonSeason Cover Art by:https://comedyartwork.com/Media Links:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGLje8G0zLkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MZiB3Nqc68https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k614Yh8Wl60&t=60shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JooTnKvr36Qhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16y1AkoZkmQ&t=50shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddCfmnwuBbs&t=12shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyqRvp8RGtIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRBrC_4CCGI&t=1shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEUX-HYRtUAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNJYZypHFjk&t=114shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3VOhNxlIA4&t=1shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6a1c60Hj1xohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvPXmkYMHFg Subscribe to SiriusXM Podcasts+ on Apple Podcasts to listen to ad-free new episodes.

This week, our journey with the former governor of Illinois comes to an end. 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?!Follow The Show: Twitter: https://twitter.com/fraudstersLPNInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fraudsterslpn/Discord: https://discord.gg/WRZ8zgusPTWebsite: https://fraudsters.fm/Follow the Hosts: https://twitter.com/seenanowhttps://www.instagram.com/justin_williams_comedyhttps://twitter.com/arielleaty YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQwl8sDTVEAxhwJdYgm-yrgIntro Music Credit and Sound Fx:https://twitter.com/gograntgordonSeason Cover Art by:https://comedyartwork.com/Media Links:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JquRjP9UoAshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tB0KhxGvGghttps://open.spotify.com/episode/3ndqgRy3l1FkvIKQXtcSRI?si=77c3e34baf8c41b6  Subscribe to SiriusXM Podcasts+ on Apple Podcasts to listen to ad-free new episodes.

This week we’re back with more Blago, baby!! Rod Blagojevich is just the gift that keeps on giving– from Elvis impersonations to leaked angry phone calls to many, many, many talk show appearances. Rod’s given us a lot to work with, and for that we’re grateful!! In this episode, we not only talk Rod, but we try to untangle the web of corruption that was Chicago politics in the early aughts. Let’s just say it involves the FBI, bi-partisanship, and… Papa John’s? There’s nothing more Chicago than that!! This week we’re back with more Blago, baby!!

This week we begin our journey covering the one and only, Rod Blagojevich. Rod is the epitome of the American Dream– the son of Yugoslavian immigrants, he came from humble beginnings, shining shoes, delivering pizza, working as a… bookie. 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!! Follow The Show:Twitter: https://twitter.com/fraudstersLPNInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fraudsterslpn/Discord: https://discord.gg/WRZ8zgusPTWebsite: https://fraudsters.fm/ Follow the Hosts: https://twitter.com/seenanowhttps://www.instagram.com/justin_williams_comedyhttps://twitter.com/arielleaty YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQwl8sDTVEAxhwJdYgm-yrgIntroMusic Credit and Sound Fx:https://twitter.com/gograntgordonSeason Cover Art by:https://comedyartwork.com/ Media Links:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qre7DzEtxyc&t=50shttps://www.c-span.org/video/?74609-1/democratic-convention-afternoon-sessionhttps://www.c-span.org/video/?74883-1/illinois-5th-districthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9T_Scmgc6Q0&t=103shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lo29Q3gfJnQ&t=84shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V03szmwwCBg&t=1shttps://www.c-span.org/video/?174596-1/illinois-gubernatorial-inauguralhttps://www.c-span.org/video/?298903-1/david-axelrod-conversation-james-warrenhttps://www.c-span.org/video/?194711-1/illinois-gubernatorial-debatehttps://www.wbez.org/shows/public-official-a/09be1fbf-e991-4627-88ed-0004c94b48f6https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOKg9pbHIpY&t=87shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANe8f1ElZFs Subscribe to SiriusXM Podcasts+ on Apple Podcasts to listen to ad-free new episodes.

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. Follow The Show: Twitter: https://twitter.com/fraudstersLPNInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fraudsterslpn/Discord: https://discord.gg/WRZ8zgusPTWebsite: https://fraudsters.fm/Follow the Hosts: https://twitter.com/seenanowhttps://www.instagram.com/justin_williams_comedyhttps://twitter.com/arielleaty Follow Our Guest:https://twitter.com/raesannihttps://www.instagram.com/raesanni87/?hl=enYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQwl8sDTVEAxhwJdYgm-yrgIntro Music Credit and Sound Fx:https://twitter.com/gograntgordonSeason Cover Art by:https://comedyartwork.com/Clips Pulled From:Real Housewives of Salt Lake City S1E1Real Housewives of Salt Lake City S2E9Clip Links:https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1488529711334463https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dr6aSTPzTt0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPF74wkNuWchttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIqVnmznKuo&t=1shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U54biR9Dk9U&t=401shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFnrNYk4jmY&t=89shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jc5quAdh5II Subscribe to SiriusXM Podcasts+ on Apple Podcasts to listen to ad-free new episodes.

This week we’re talking all about Jen Shah from the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. And there’s a lot to talk about. From her very Mormon childhood growing up in Utah to meeting her husband and converting to Islam, to when she started dipping her toe in the pool of defrauding the elderly to her actually becoming a fraudster herself (girlboss!), we cover it all.

This week we’re back with more on Elijah Muhammad and the NOI! 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!!

Our Fraudster du jour is none other than the honorable Elijah Muhammad paired with the Nation of Islam. As always we are setting up the fraud with some good ole fashioned background info. We go from Elijah’s turbulent childhood and upbringing to his days as an alcoholic, to the moment he found God… or Wallace Fard, who interestingly enough claimed to be the Mahdi and founded the Nation of Islam. 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!!!!Our Fraudster du jour is none other than the honorable Elijah Muhammad paired with the Nation of Islam.

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!This week we’re back with more Jim Traficant tales to tell with some help from Senator Bob Hagan.

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!!We’re traveling all the way to Youngstown, Ohio this week to bring you all the hot goss on Fraudster, Jim Traficant.

We are back with the last installment of our series on the Fugees to talk about the other guy… Pras Michel. 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.

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill? 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!The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill?

George Santos has no shame and he will not be stopped. After diving into his origin story and legal crimes we finish this wild ride with his moral crimes. Which crime is worse? Posing as a puppy charity and stealing money from both veterans and Amish people?! But the Amish make such nice furniture! Then he skims ATMs. Is this another dark art taught by Mom? It doesn’t end there as Seena, Justin, and Ariel run down the list of other Georgie Truths from suspicious muggings, alleged employees gunned down at Orlando’s Pulse club, and dubious campaign loans. We wash it all down with clips from George’s public access show “Talking GOP”. By the end of this episode, will you still be part of the The George Santos Fan Club? It ain’t Mar-A-Lago but there’s an all-you-can-eat scam buffet.

Welcome to Part 2 of George Santos! 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.

We are joined by Youtube Crypto personality and fellow Celsius victim Tiffany Fong! She explains how and why she gave a chunk of money to Mashinsky's yield ponzi scheme and all she got was a pic with Joe Biden at the White House. Worth it, right? She also spills the tea (or her cocktail) on how she bagged an interview with Sam Bankman-Fried aka SBF of FTX. And with the gift of hindsight and a good ol' pat on the back for those who didn't invest we look at some scammy clips of Mashinsky.

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.

Have you put a ring on it, yet? We wrap up our series on the Diamond Industry cartel talkin about peacocks! More like Zahavi's Handicap principle (which is basically about peacocks) helps humans (men) send signals (DIAMONDS) to con women into trusting it as a symbol of love. Plus get ready to rumble with Colonel Debeers, listen to an Oppenheimer side step pesky questions about fair trade, Elizabeth Taylor's friends wear diamonds while raising money, and remember that classic '90s Debeers commercial? We do!

A Diamond is Forever! We continue our series on the diamond industry with the world's favorite family the Oppenheimers! Together with De Beers they created a cartel that controls the entire diamond market. 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. The cultural cachet of diamonds got baked into the fabric of our culture. From women buying men diamonds in the 80s to now we all NEED engagement rings. Listen now to see how we've all been artfully conned into believing diamonds are YOUR best friend. Follow Us: https://twitter.com/seenanowhttps://www.instagram.com/justin_williams_comedy/https://twitter.com/arielleatyFollow the show on Discord: https://discord.gg/WRZ8zgusPTWebsite: https://fraudsters.fm/Twitter: https://twitter.com/fraudstersLPNInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fraudsterslpn/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQwl8sDTVEAxhwJdYgm-yrgIntroMusic Credit and Sound Fx:https://twitter.com/gograntgordonSeason Cover Art by:https://comedyartwork.com/ Resources: https://www.npr.org/transcripts/205839105 https://www.timemaps.com/history/south-africa-1871ad/ https://brilliantmaps.com/africa-1914/ https://mapoftheday.quickworld.com/posts/africa-in-1965     https://www.africaguide.com/afmap.htm https://www.capetowndiamondmuseum.org/about-diamonds/south-african-diamond-history/ https://www.gia.edu/gems-gemology/summer-2019-kimberlites-earths-diamond-delivery-system  https://www.britannica.com/place/Kimberley-South-Africa https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1982/02/have-you-ever-tried-to-sell-a-diamond/304575/ https://www.debeersgroup.com/about-us/our-operations/sales https://pages.stern.nyu.edu/~lcabral/teaching/debeers3.pdf https://www.debeersgroup.com/about-us/our-operations/salesCalderisi, R.

We’re headed to Jared! We begin our multi-part series on the Diamond Industry and the imperialist who started it all: Cecil Rhodes. His entrepreneurial ambitions made him walk 14 hours in a day to conquer a mine that would later become the international diamond corporation known as De Beers. How does this English kid with a heart of an 80 year old build a diamond monopoly off the backs of millions of Africans, have a country named after him, start the Rhodes Scholarship, and create so much power and wealth that he helped orchestrate South Africa’s colonization? The classic fraudster grit that's how! Later Seena and Ariel react to clips from “The Life & Legend of Cecil Rhodes” a British TV series from the ‘90s that is so ‘90s we tried to cancel the younger versions of ourselves.

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.Follow Us:https://twitter.com/seenanowhttps://www.instagram.com/justin_williams_comedy/https://twitter.com/arielleatyFollow
