Doug Grant: Vitamins and Visions
Doug Grant: Vitamins and Visions
Episode Summary:
In this episode of Tax Crime Junkies, we unravel the case of Doug Grant—a once-prominent nutritionist and supplement mogul who built a thriving business advising top-tier athletes, including the Phoenix Suns and Arizona Diamondbacks. But beyond the world of vitamins and fitness, Grant’s life took a sinister turn when his wife, Faylene, died under mysterious circumstances. Was it a tragic accident? A case of religious fanaticism? Or a carefully orchestrated crime?
Hosts Dominique Molina and Tom Gorczynski investigate the dark side of health and wealth, exploring Doug Grant’s tangled web of deception, life insurance intrigue, and his connection to notorious infomercial scammer Don Lapre. What started as a wellness empire ended with a shocking conviction—was Doug a grieving husband, or a manipulative mastermind who used faith as a weapon?
