This week we take a break from our regularly scheduled programming because Nina always gets sick on weeks when she is supposed to be the one hosting, so Kishan is going solo like a bird from the nest for the first time. Will he fly or crash and burn as he gives you updates to stories that WCRH has covered throughout almost 3 years of podcasting

This week we discuss a hunky Midwesterner who dropped everything in life to move to LA and pursue a career in acting after college, even though he never talked about acting. Once there though Zach Horwitz used his newly developed acting "talents" not to land roles but land suckers in a Hollywood Ponzi Scheme that amassed over half a billion dollars. Learn how he played the villain on this week's episode

Join us this week as we discuss a self-made hotel magnate in Leona Helmsley whose terrible reputation of being a mega Karen earned her the title of The Queen of Mean, and whose dealings on the books of her hotels landed her in prison, and wait until you found who inherited the most money in her will. Find out on this week's episode!

This week we delve into the extremely weird, and disturbing story of Jacob Kingston. A prominent member of a Mormon adjacent cult, that used his engineering doctorate to start a biofuel company, that ended up not making biofuel. Instead, he stole money through a series of schemes, that ramped up in a big way when he got in bed with the Armenian mafia.

This week we sit down to talk about the literal father of the Kennedy curse, JFK's daddy Joseph who was the first one to lead the SEC, after some dubious dealings qualified him to be there in the first place. This week involves bank examiners, natural family planning and lobotomies so join us for a wild one!

You've heard of Bernie Madoff, especially if you've listened to all of our episodes in which case we love you! You might not have heard of Allen Stanford however, operating at roughly the same time Allen Stanford takes second place in largest Ponzi scheme and longest sentence for white-collar crime in America. Learn all about the Texas swindler on this week's episode!

This week we take on the subject of famous children who had their earnings squandered and stolen by their parents. Through the 3.5 tales of entertainers who lost it all to those who raised them we find out that blood is not always thicker than water.

We're back with our twelfth season, we finally have a whole dozen! This season we kick things off by turning the clock back to the 1800s with the rise of the Hawaiian Kingdom, a sovereign nation that through unfortunate events became subject to a coup by wealthy foreigners on the islands, including an enduring symbol of nobility the first and last queen of Hawaii Queen Lili'uokalani.

It's the season 11 finale and woof do we have a rough one. For this season finale, we dive back into the realm of murder committed by the wealthy but this one is especially heinous as we detail the story of Issei Sagawa the Japanese-born tiny little man who became obsessed with the idea of eating a tall blonde woman, so much so that he finally followed through with it, and then never spent a day behind bars. This episode is rife with stomach-churning things so listen at your own discretion!

It's another one of Nina's favorite episodes packed with trashy people doing trashy financial crimes. We return for the third time to a Real Housewives series, this one set in Salt Lake City. This time though she isn't even a housewife, Jen Shah was the breadwinner. Follow along with us for a story of waterboarding, a telemarketing empire, and fraud of all kinds! It definitely wasn't Shah-mazing for Jen Shah, but this episode might do something for you.
