If you’re jonesing for some nostalgia, then this is the Oh My Fraud episode for you. Caleb and Greg discuss two stars—an athlete whose fame peaked in the 80s and a singer-songwriter who put out one of the biggest selling albums of the 90s—who helped define their respective decades. Unfortunately, their wild success also made them targets of people they trusted to help manage that success.

What do the Catholic Church and Oh My Fraud have in common? They both regularly feature absent internal controls, important figures abusing their positions of trust, and are run by people who drink wine on the job. In this episode, Caleb and Greg chronicle the story of a high-ranking cardinal who wound up in a convoluted real estate deal.
