    Dirty Money Moves: Women in White Collar Crime

    Dirty Money Moves: Women in White Collar Crime deep dives into cases involving a more rare
    type of criminal, women who commit financial crimes. In season one, host Jami Rice of
    MURDERISH podcast takes listeners on a journey to investigate Mary Carole McDonnell, a
    self-proclaimed heiress and the CEO of a TV production company based in Los Angeles.

    In 2018, with help from her high-profile Hollywood attorney, Mary Carole secured a $15 million
    loan with Banc of California. When the first payment came due, the heiress couldn’t be reached.
    She had allegedly skipped town and bank representatives quickly learned that they’d likely
    never see that money again. Before the FBI could question the heiress‘s controversial attorney
    about his potential role in the alleged bank fraud, he died suddenly under bizarre circumstances.
    And a probe into the attorney’s background revealed that he had ties to one of America’s most
    notorious scandals, the one involving pop icon Michael Jackson.

    A dive into Mary Carole’s background revealed that the alleged multi-million dollar scam against
    Banc of California wasn’t her first rodeo. The heiress had a long history of financial misconduct.
    But why would a seemingly successful CEO and heiress to a fortune build a side hustle that
    included alleged scams against even those who were close to her? In season one of Dirty
    Money Moves: Women in White Collar Crime we expose the REAL Mary Carole McDonnell and
    all of the complex lies she told for decades, including a sensationalized tale about the kidnap for
    ransom murder plot involving her little sister. We unravel how Mary Carole managed to hustle
    numerous intelligent people and sophisticated businesses out of roughly $30 million dollars, and
    whether the female hustler had help along the way. This is a puzzling and complex tale about
    greed, deceit, shocking truths, and an unlikely perpetrator whose story is interwoven with
    Hollywood’s darker side.

    "Where is She?" | S1 E7 Jun 02, 2022

    For the last six weeks we’ve tried to uncover the truth about who Mary Carole McDonnell is, how she was shaped during her childhood, and what factors contributed to the woman she became: a woman with a grandiose self-image; a master manipulator who constantly lied in order to get what she wanted; a woman with NO regard for who she hurt along the way. Mary Carole cared about one thing and one thing only: money. But the main question on everyone’s mind is…where is Mary Carole McDonnell?

    "Let the Lawsuits Begin" | S1 E6 May 26, 2022

    In the last episode, we went over all of the loans, merchant agreements, and investments that Mary Carole McDonnell was able to get her hands on, beginning in 2007 and stretching through 2018. So what recourse has there been for all the people and institutions Mary Carole has scammed into loaning her money or investing in her fake family trust? 2017 marked the first year of lawsuits against her. That year at least twenty civil lawsuits were filed against Mary Carole and Bellum Entertainment, ranging from employees seeking unpaid wages, to banks trying to recoup their millions. Every year since, more and more lawsuits have been filed...over fifty in total. But while the lawsuits are rolling in, Mary Carole has never appeared in court for any of them.

    “Fast Cash and Dash” | S1 E5 May 19, 2022

    Last episode was all about how Mary Carole McDonnell and her attorney Barry Rothman allegedly worked together to scam Banc of California out of nearly $15 million dollars. And, we found out that it apparently was not their first time pulling this hustle together. To top it all off, Barry unexpectedly died on the evening of March 9th after a dental procedure earlier that day. Many of us at the bank thought there was a chance that Mary Carole may have had something to do with Barry’s death because he knew too much about the alleged scam. His death, while extremely suspicious at first thought, turned out not to be nefarious. In this episode we dive deeper into how and when Mary Carole got her hands on millions of dollars from loans, friends, and colleagues. The amount of money the “heiress” was able to secure through deception is absolutely staggering.

    “Lies and Homemade Pies” | S1 E4 May 12, 2022

    In the previous episode of Dirty Money Moves, we learned about Barry Rothman, Mary Carole’s infamous entertainment lawyer and longtime associate. We also learned that he and Mary Carole had something in common…unbelievable financial troubles. Barry also operated a complex network of foreign bank accounts and Panamanian shell companies, which he allegedly used to hide certain assets. This was the person Mary Carole aligned herself with in 2017 as Bellum Entertainment fell apart. She found herself in desperate need of a ton of money to fend off creditors, and Barry was the man she turned to for help. Shockingly, Mary Carole was so brazen, that she baked homemade pies for bank employees and hand delivered them, just before she pulled off the biggest money grab of her crooked career. That, and Barry would be dead before the bank even realized they’d been scammed.

    “The Nastiest Son of a B*tch” | S1 E3 May 05, 2022

    In the last episode of Dirty Money Moves, we explained how Mary Carole’s antics were exposed by Channel 2 News. We also described how Mary Carole managed to get her hands on a few million dollars through a “gifting” program connected to her family trust that she claimed was worth millions. By 2017, Mary Carole’s flagship company, Bellum Entertainment, was crumbling. She owed individuals and institutions millions of dollars. But, in the face of mounting lawsuits and creditors breathing down her neck, Mary Carole didn’t seem to flinch. Instead, she got together with her lawyer friend, Barry Rothman, who had a colorful past and ties to one of Hollywood’s most infamous scandals involving pop icon Michael Jackson. The two of them worked out a plan to get even more cash and this time around, Mary Carole was going BIG. Through lies and false documents, Mary Carole shockingly got her hands on almost $15 million from Banc of California. And by the time Mary Carole likely began enjoying the fruit of her multi million dollar swindle, Barry would drop dead before the FBI could even question him about the bank scam.

    "House of Cards" | S1 E2 Apr 28, 2022

    In this episode, Mary Carole parlays a television career into the creation of her own flagship business, Bellum Entertainment. Bellum earned apparent success through nationally syndicated true crime shows, but a closer look would reveal unpaid loans, bounced checks, and misclassifying employees as independent contractors to avoid tax responsibilities. Was Bellum the victim of bank fraud, as Mary Carole claimed, or was the success of the company a house of cards? Listen to find out. You won't want to miss this.
