White Collars, Red Hands

Just a bonus episode this week since Kishan was out of town! But in this small claims court we catch up on some of our ongoing stories and talk about a whirlwind of lawsuits that arose in the 90's that targeted breast implant manufacturers with the largest of them, Dow Corning, right in the middle of the crosshairs.

This week we discuss Jackie Chan mineral water, a genital shaped stadium and the football club that would inhabit it, and Evergrande, the Chinese real estate company that is drawing comparisons to the Lehman Brothers and is at this moment on the verge of collapse. Will this titanic company take more than the captain down when it sinks? Also we curse somehow even more in this episode than normal, if that offends you why the hell are you here?

In this week's episode we discuss what we should call out listeners, the Prime Minister of Yugoslavia, foot toupees, and the pharmaceutical company that at one point had the highest market cap on the Toronto Stock Exchange, how they rose to infamy and eventually the fraud that sent this Icarus plummeting back to Earth.

In this week's listener submitted episode we talk Kishan's college acting classes, which universities have the best chlamydia, Grand Canyon lizard people, and the proliferation of diploma and degree mills, how they impacted jobs in America, and the operation that took them down.

This week, Kishan is sick and given the whole pandemic thing, decided to record this week's episode with someone who couldn't say no, his girlfriend Jessie.

In this week's episode we talk our favorite carbonated beverages, fill up time with accent practice, and discuss the downfall of Barings Bank, an English bank that at one point literally held royal accounts that was toppled by the record breaking oopsy trade made by one man: Nick Leeson.

In this week's episode we discuss our feelings for late night TV show hosts named Jimmy, German folk tales and their relationship to scripture, what Jon Hamm has working for him, and another corporate scandal case from the early 2000's that saw the Rigas family dismantle a cable television empire that they built under the name: Adelphia.

In this week's episode we talk whether it is a bones or no bones day, movie montages, and a pop icon and star of the hit TV show The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Erika Jayne, and how her husband Tom Girardi accumulated their wealth through stealing money from people at their most vulnerable states to fund his wife's expensive habits, and how it all came crashing down.

In the premiere episode of Season 5 we talk renaming the presidents, why Nina can't be trusted with too much money, and we hop in the way back machine to the 14th century in our oldest story yet as we discuss the first multinational bank collapse and the family behind it all: The Medici of Florence.

In the third session of small claims court, Kishan discusses a lawsuit settled during the pandemic against Swiss pharmaceutical company Novartis for $678 Million.
