💸 Welcome to the last episode of Banking Bad, a podcast series that features six true-crime stories from the world of money. 

🐺Are you familiar with the name Jordan Belfort? If not, you might recognise him as the infamous 'Wolf of Wall Street'. Belfort's journey in the financial world is nothing short of exhilarating — starting from his humble beginnings as a door-to-door salesman to becoming the mastermind behind Stratton Oakmont, a fraudulent brokerage firm that swindled millions from unsuspecting investors. 

We look at the legal consequences that eventually caught up with him, leading to his arrest and imprisonment, and draw conclusions and valuable lessons from Belfort's life of excess.

💸Welcome to Banking Bad - a podcast series featuring six true-crime stories from the world of money. 

Keith Gill, aka RoaringKitty and DeepFuckingValue, is a financial analyst and online trader who challenged Wall Street with GameStop, a retailer on the verge of bankruptcy. He shared his trades on Reddit, attracting a crowd of followers who bought GameStop shares, driving up the price and hurting hedge funds that had shorted the stock. In today’s episode, financial journalist Iona Bain and I look at how the GameStop saga stands as a testament to the potential impact of individual investors challenging established norms, and the key things investors can learn from this rollercoaster of a story.

💸Welcome to Banking Bad - a podcast series featuring six true-crime stories from the world of money. 

In this episode, I speak to Martha Lane Fox, the co-founder of lastminute.com, Europe’s biggest travel and leisure website. She started the company in 1998 with Brent Hoberman, and sold it in 2005 for a whopping £577 million when she was only 31. We revisit this fascinating story and discuss how they raised money for their innovative idea, how they became one of the most popular online travel platforms during the dotcom boom of the early 2000s, what happened after they went public, and how Martha’s life was changed by a serious accident.

💸Welcome to Banking Bad - a podcast series featuring six true-crime stories from the world of money. Today, Emilie is speaking with Patrick Foster. Patrick had a promising career as a professional cricketer, until gambling came into the picture. He shares his journey from being a sports star to a compulsive gambler who ended up in £250,000 of debt, revealing how he got hooked on betting, lost his job and his friends, and how he tried to escape his addiction by moving to a different city and becoming a teacher.

But even that was not enough to stop him from gambling online, taking out payday loans, and spiralling into despair. Patrick’s story is a cautionary tale of the dangers of gambling - and how to get out of what sometimes seems like a spiral of financial despair.

This episode contains some sensitive topics (suicide), please listen with care.

💸 Welcome to Banking Bad - a podcast series featuring six true-crime stories from the world of money. 

We’re used to hearing about stocks, credit or commodities being at the centre of bubbles, but never a flower. Today, we’ll be looking at tulip mania - a period in the 1630s when the prices of tulip bulbs in the Netherlands soared to unprecedented levels, driven by a speculative frenzy. I’ll be talking to Anne Goldgar, an American historian and academic, who argues that tulip mania was not a widespread frenzy that affected the whole society, but rather a limited phenomenon - and that accounts of the subsequent crash may be more fiction than fact. However, there are key takeaways from this story that we, as investors, can learn from.

📈How do we connect with our older self? How much money would you actually need for retirement? It can be difficult to envision ourselves 20, 30, 40 years from now. This means that all too often, we don’t take the steps we need to take to benefit our future selves. Tunie is in for a pension chat with Becky O’Connor (Director (VP) Public Affairs at PensionBee), Emma Maslin (Money Coach and Founder of The Money Whisperer) and Emilie Bellet (Founder of Vestpod).
