Can you imagine living in a mansion on a skyscraper 400 feet above the ground? No? Neither can the fugitive businessman Vijay Mallya, who fled the country before ever setting foot in it. Laci welcomes Zach Cherry (Severance, You) to strap on a wingsuit and dive into the story of the self-proclaimed "King of Good Times," his flashy airline, and how his downfall led to the creation of India’s Fugitive Economic Offenders Act. Stay schemin’!
