Happy Holidays Hunbots and Hunbros! Welcome to 8 Days of Holiday Magic, a month of fun content to get us through the end of the year! Each episode was HAND PICKED from YOUR wish list of guest requests! Join us every Sunday and Wednesday for a NEW episode, leading up to 2023!

As we finish up 2022, I wanted to take Day 8 of Holiday Magic to tell you the story of Bernie Madoff, who ran the largest Ponzi scheme in history. Not a lot of people know the whole story, some barely recognize the name, but Bernie Madoff wrecked a type of havoc rarely ever seen, that left in it's wake death, destruction and devastation no one ever expected. One of the ULTIMATE ScamFathers, this story is a MUST KNOW for any scheme enthusiast.
