Cat videos. Viral dances. Real community. It seems silly that a simple app could become an outlet, a source of hope, answers to medical mysteries, on-the-ground guerilla journalism, and even a way for small businesses to find customers, but starting in 2020, the US government set its sights on the app for more reasons than a viral dance.

How much could he have taken and how on Earth did he spend it all? This week's episode is Fraud at the Fruitcake Factory.
