Laci is joined by writer, comedian, and friend Jenny Yang (Last Man Standing) to discuss the “Warren Buffett” of insurance fraud. Greg Lindberg stole $2 billion from his own companies, then tried to pay a state official $200 million to stay quiet about it. Plus, a baddie climate activist from China allegedly sex-blackmailed Milwaukee Bucks co-owner Wes Edens.

Laci asks: Are psychics, valets, and tipping outside of restaurants a scam, a scheme, or the real thing? Stay schemin’!
