The Scammer Speaks

In case you didn't know, we're still making episodes that are available exclusively on Nora's Substack!

In our “Behind The Scammer” episode, you met Celisia Stanton and Rev. Gonzales, two people who had their life savings stolen from them by their financial adviser, a man named Isaiah Goodman. We intentionally focused that episode on the scammed – on the victims.

But we do have a duty to reach out to the subject of any story and say “Hey, do you want to comment on this?” So we did.

And Isaiah agreed to an interview, from inside federal prison.


Celisia’s podcast is called “Truer Crime,” and you can (and should!) listen to it here. She also set up a GoFundMe to help the Gonzales family recoup some of their financial losses. You can help them here.
