This is an episode that affiliates can run, and the program is under an hour. We'd like to thank the BBC for doing this research. Its definitely eye opening.

The show notes, which include a link to the video on YouTube follows.

Welcome to the security box, podcast 141A. On this podcast, we're going to provide you with a video. This video comes from the BBC, and it does leave some very interesting questions. Contact info is given at the end.

What sparked this? This toot from Brian Krebs is what sparked this. It says:

Tl;dw, it appears the biggest crypto investment scams targeting people in the UK were promoted by at least a half dozen of England's premiere football (soccer) leagues. These scammers managed to rake in at least a billion dollars, and could afford lucrative sponsorships that got their brand everywhere. As the former scammers explained, there's nothing real about the investment "earnings" shown to people who get roped into these scams: It's all just a digital mirage, and any money invested is gone.

Her video series on the BBC zeroes in on who's responsible. Involves ride-alongs with German police as they worked w/ investigators in the country of Georgia to raid call centers working the phones for these fraudsters.

If you're just here for the video, this is the youtube link to the video we give in audio.

Thanks Brian for posting this! I found it very eye opening, and it even made me mad, but that's probably what we'd expect with what you'll hear. I don't blame them though, but you should hear or watch this and make up your own mind.
