What would you do if someone you trusted told you that you were being hunted by freemasons and the lives of you and your family were in danger? This week on Eavesdroppin’, Geordie does a deep dive into a crazy story she heard about when she was holidaying in a small village in France that includes French aristocracy, cults, scams, tricksters, freemasons and a Machiavellian fraudster who fleeced a family of everything they’ve ever owned…  

In 1999, 48-year-old law-school dropout Thierry Tilly befriended Ghislaine de Védrines, a French aristocrat running a secretarial school in Paris. By 2001, after gaining the trust of Ghislaine and her family, he slowly began to convince them that the lives of the entire family were in danger from freemasons and that they must all become recluses and give him all their money… Well it’s a bit more complicated than that but if you want to know more, you’re going to have to listen to the episode to find out how it all went down!

We hope you enjoy this week’s episode – and wherever you are, whatever you do, just keep Eavesdroppin'!
