Fugees Part II - Lauryn Hill, The Talent Jul 11, 2023

Show notes

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill? More like the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill filing her taxes! [cough] SO the joke here is that Lauryn Hill, the only truly talented member of the Fugees, intentionally did not file taxes for FIVE years, which is bad. On the bright side, she got to go to the famous prison from Orange Is the New Black. Tax evasion isn’t all we cover in this episode, in fact, there’s so much more… Lauryn Hill wanted to do good, but sometimes life (Wyclef) just gets in the way. This episode has it all— a love triangle, a big ego getting in the way of true potential, and a few lawsuits here and there!

Fugees Part I - Zaddy Wyclef Jean Jul 04, 2023

Show notes

Musicians can be Fraudsters too! In this episode, we focus on Haitian-American Wyclef Jean of the Fugees and dive into his many frauds… many many… many many…. you get it. We start off with how the band came to be and the significance of their success, before the trio’s inevitable downfall. But most importantly, we talk the twists and turns of Wyclef’s Yele Foundation/scam. It’s a tale as old as time– you see your country crumbling, you create an NGO, you spend $400,000 of $1.2 million dollars on Haiti, you make empty promises to build schools, hospitals, and homes, you use $50k to fly celebrities to look at Haiti, you get caught for misusing funds, and then you run for president of the country you don’t live in. It could happen to anyone really!!!! Listen now for all the juicy details!

George Santos Part III - Chaos Chronicles Jun 27, 2023

Show notes

George Santos has no shame and he will not be stopped. After diving into his origin story and legal crimes we finish this wild ride with his moral crimes. Which crime is worse? Posing as a puppy charity and stealing money from both veterans and Amish people?! But the Amish make such nice furniture! Then he skims ATMs. Is this another dark art taught by Mom? It doesn’t end there as Seena, Justin, and Ariel run down the list of other Georgie Truths from suspicious muggings, alleged employees gunned down at Orlando’s Pulse club, and dubious campaign loans. We wash it all down with clips from George’s public access show “Talking GOP”. By the end of this episode, will you still be part of the The George Santos Fan Club? It ain’t Mar-A-Lago but there’s an all-you-can-eat scam buffet. Listen now!

George Santos Part II - Elections Have Consequences Jun 20, 2023

Show notes

Welcome to Part 2 of George Santos! We deep dive into the recent indictment of Anthony George Devolder Califragilistic Expeala Santos and his merry band of frauds. We uncover the 13 counts of wire fraud, money laundering, theft of public funds, and false statements he's been charged with. From fraudulent political contribution schemes to unemployment insurance fraud, Santos keeps on scammin’. But how did this indictment come about? We take you through Santos's political runs and his connections to a Florida-based investment firm called Harbor City Capital, which turned out to be a - yup - ponzi scheme. But Georgie doesn’t stop even when a research group finds his skeletons: He forms his own charity, runs for office, and starts a talk show. Get ready for a few facepalms as we unravel the web of scams and wait with bated breath if George Santos gets 20 years in prison…or 20 years in the House of Represantives. And he’s only been in office for a few months. Listen now to Part 2 - Elections Have Consequences!

Alex Mashinsky and Celsius Part II Mar 14, 2023

Show notes

We are joined by Youtube Crypto personality and fellow Celsius victim Tiffany Fong! She explains how and why she gave a chunk of money to Mashinsky's yield ponzi scheme and all she got was a pic with Joe Biden at the White House. Worth it, right? She also spills the tea (or her cocktail) on how she bagged an interview with Sam Bankman-Fried aka SBF of FTX. And with the gift of hindsight and a good ol' pat on the back for those who didn't invest we look at some scammy clips of Mashinsky. Not your keys not your coins or whatever but listen now!

Alex Mashinsky and Celsius Part I Mar 07, 2023

Show notes

Last season our most controversial episode was when Seena shared how he got scammed in crypto. We open this week with the follow up and what exactly he got from that scam, and it's not nothing! It's… three images of…apes. But OOPS he did it again, this time in a different project with money he really did not to lose. We welcome special guest Jackie Zebrowski of LPN as she along with Ariel and Justin ROAST Seena big time. Because it's not just investing in fake apes that Ariel coulda photoshopped it's also about investing in ANOTHER scam called, Celsius, where Alex Mashinsky the CEO orchestrated ponzi scheme that left thousands of investors out in zero degrees celsius. Listen now and we can't promise this episode is not a scam!
