Amanda and Lauren are joined by a special guest this week - their dad, Keith! The three of them go through the story of Yaser Abdel Said, a real control freak who did so many gross things that the content warnings include basically... everything. He made the FBI's Most Wanted list, America's Most Wanted, the Interpol Most Wanted list, and was one of John Walsh's Dirty Dozen. This one is a doozy. Take care of yourselves, everyone.

Lauren wanted white collar crime, so we've got a white collar crime episode this week! Samuel Isreal III didn't want to rely on his family's wealth. No! He wanted to make it all on his own. So when it turned out he was really bad at hedge funding, he just pretended he was good at it.
