324 Kelly Richmond Pope: Predator, Prey and Whistleblowers


Listen Later

What does it mean to be the only one in the room who knows something is wrong? You're the only one in your company who sees the number they missed.

Kelly Richmond Pope is a forensic accountant, a professor at DePaul University and an award-winning documentarian and filmmaker. Her documentary on the not-too-distant world of fraudsters and whistleblowers is called "All The Queen's Horses," out on Netflix.
