White Collars, Red Hands

This week we discuss science, the Loch Ness monster and the female orgasm. Also we talk about the insurance giant AIG, and their one-two punch of scandals in the early 2000's that involved some creative accounting, and less creative misappropriating government funds.

This week we take a trip to Dixon, Illinois and only immediately offend a few of the people who live there as we discuss one of the previous town treasurers Rita Crundwell, who is now infamous for engineering the largest municipal fraud in US history. Join us on a dark chapter in the history of the birthplace of Ronald Reagan and a very interesting name for a minor league baseball team.

This week we sit down to discuss the 2015 FIFA corruption indictment, the backstory on the organization and the lead up to the indictment and a bit about what has happened since then. On top of that we also discuss Harry Potter and Star Wars which is weird, but we found a way to cram it in.

Pour a nice glass of Pinot Grigio and sit back for a story fraught with difficult to pronounce words, former presidents(yes, again), and a ring of fake wine bottles sold at auction for multiple millions of dollars, all orchestrated by one man who finally was taken down by none other than the FBI. Stop whining and start wining in this week's episode!

This week Nina is under the weather so we take it easy on her by talking through one of the largest accounting scandals from Japan, a nation where she lived for a year. This story has everything: tuna sandwiches, the British, stories about Dutch fabric salesmen in the 1600's, want to know how all of those are related to Olympus: the camera, microscope and more specific butt camera developers? Find out in this episode!

In the Season 8 Finale we tackle another murder committed by the wealthy, and this season we have our wealthiest perpetrators by far in two heirs to large fortunes who in the 1920's found themselves embroiled in a romantic entanglement that through German philosophers and an obsession with crime turned to murder. Join us as we touch upon the lives of prodigy murderers Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb.

In this week's fan submitted episode we discuss a terrible tragedy from 1 year ago whose details are still coming to light. The story of the harrowing few days inside of a warehouse for 850 patients in a group of nursing homes owned by Georgia based businessman Bob Dean. Patients who thought they were getting evacuated to save their lives from Hurricane Ida but didn't realize that the next few days were going to be hell on Earth.

This week we jump back on the story of Jordan Belfort, the self proclaimed Wolf of Wall Street, and we spare no expense talking about the sexual atmosphere of the bullpen he ran, the strippers that occupied the tops of the desks, and the drugs that filled the broker's blood streams. None of our shows are remotely safe for children or people who can't hear bad words, but this one especially so.

Kishan is out of town next week so we are doing a biggie and splitting it up, this week we talk about the rise of Jordan Belfort, now known by his own book title The Wolf of Wall Street, we talk about his origins as a maybe dentist, to meat salesman, to broker while adding a few anecdotes of our own and discovering how much an elephant actually weighs.
