Fraud Reich Part II – The Good Ole “Spear of Destiny” Nov 19, 2020

Show notes

In part I of Fraud Reich we brought you historical fiction—the story of the Hitler Diaries. Today we bring you a sci-fi thriller featuring Adolph Hitler, Hans Loads, David Bowie, and a fraudster named Trevor Ravenscroft.

We’re talking the “Spear of Destiny”— the alleged source of Hitler’s power and rot.

Special thanks to Marcus Parks, founding father of the Last Podcast Network, for a magical interview.

Fraud Reich Part I – Hitler Fan Fiction (that everyone believed) Nov 12, 2020

Show notes

Dear Diary,

Many historically significant figures generate lore. Some say Shakespeare had a ghostwriter. Some say Nikola Tesla designed blueprints for a "death ray" before his passing. Some say Thomas Jefferson drank breast milk!

Few theories, however, are as wild and as widely entertained as the Hitler Diaries were.

On the 12th episode of Fraudsters Season 1, we talk where the myth began and how it snowballed into 62 forged Hitler diaries lauded as true by some of the foremost historians and news outlets in Europe.

So excited to share this episode with all the Spotifites out there.

Love,

Seena, Justin, Hazel, and Marie

PS: I made up the breast milk myth

Al Flores Breaks the Internet… in 1999 Nov 05, 2020

Show notes

Remember when we actually said "world wide web?" Remember netscape? Remember the dot-com bubble? Remember Y2K?

Remember when a car dealership company said it had the cure for AIDS and sold stocks for $9 through early internet message boards until someone from the FTC commented "hey, this isn't real?"

No?

On this weeks episode of Fraudsters we bring you Alfred Flores and Uniprime – a con on a .com two decades ago.

PTL and Jim Bakker Part III – Joining Gangs and Curing Coronavirus Oct 15, 2020

Show notes

Our final episode of the mini-series we walk you through justice finally being served in the case of Jim Bakker: How he went to prison for 25 years and came out as a reformed man who lived a quiet, secular life back in Michigan.

Just kidding! He barely went to prison and wasn't humbled by it at all.

On this final episode we spend more time talking about an incarcerated Jim Bakker than he spent in prison. We get into his prison hustles, his strange choice of friends, his post-release shenanigans and reflect on the series as a whole.

Jacob Wohl Part II – Wohlin', Trollin,' and Taking Advantage Sep 24, 2020

Show notes

In part 2 of our mini-series on Jacob Wohl, we pivot to his political frauds–covering his ploys to defame Dr. Fauci, Elizabeth Warren, and even Mayor Pete. While just as ludicrous as his earlier financial crimes, his political schemes seem to lack conviction–both in the sense that he no longer seems invested in sustaining charades longer than it takes to create chaos and because he isn't held responsible for them.

Special thanks to Nancy Rommelmann for a delightful interview.
