💸 Welcome to Banking Bad - a podcast series featuring six true crime stories from the world of money. In this episode, I talk to Philip C. Marshall about personal financial crimes that happened in his family. The victim of the crimes? His elderly grandmother, Brooke Astor. Brooke Astor was a well-known figure in New York high society and one of 20th century's most well known philanthropists. In this episode, we will be discussing financial abuse, how to protect your loved ones, the power of attorney and more.
