Welcome to the Corporate Casket, a weekly series where bad businesses go to die.

Veganism has been presented as a solution to harmful farming practices. However, while Vegans focus on saving the animals, what about saving the environment? Some of the practices used for the crops are damaging in their own way and some of the Vegans that take their beliefs to the extreme don’t care at all about one kind of animal: humans.

Welcome to Multi Level Mondays, a weekly series all about multi level marketing, pyramid schemes, and ponzi schemes.

We’ve seen so much fraud in churches, these supposed houses of God. But why? Why are churches ripe for scams? As it turns out, the system that allows this goes deep and protects men of God from their sins without any consideration for the people that follow them. This is the Church Fraud Incubator.

Welcome to the Corporate Casket, a weekly series where bad businesses go to die.

Fake doctors have real consequences. Not only are they extremely self-serving, but it reduces the faith in medical communities, causes harm to patients, and takes advantage of the most vulnerable, sick members of communities. Not only do we deserve to know who our doctor is, but we deserve professional care from them, too.

Show notes

https://www.patreon.com/iilluminaughtii

Welcome to Dark Dives, a new series where we explore the murky and devious depths of humanity.

Varosha was once a place of luxury, wealth, celebrity, status, and one of the most visited tourist destinations in the world. But in 1974, when the Turkish military moved in, all that changed. Tension still remains in Varosha, but what about the tourism? Will that change too, or will Varosha forever be as it stands today—a ghost town?

Welcome to Multi Level Mondays, a weekly series all about multi level marketing, pyramid schemes, and ponzi schemes.

Today, fashion and MLMs combine to create Cabi; an MLM that makes hundreds of millions, though you’ve probably never heard of it. Is Cabi just another Lularoe, or worse? Are they a combination of Shein and direct marketing? Just how deep does this rabbit hole go?

Welcome to the Corporate Casket, a weekly series where bad businesses go to die.

Waffle House is an American classic—an oasis on the highways in the South. However, no matter how delicious their bacon may be at 4 am on a long winding road, their scandals are anything but. From salacious tapes, alleged harassment, discrimination, and charged confrontations, Waffle House’s reputation may not be as clean as you think.

Welcome to Dark Dives, a new series where we explore the murky and devious depths of humanity.

The Great Molasses Flood sounds like something out of a cartoon, but it’s not. This very real, very deadly tidal wave of molasses raced through Boston in the early 1900s, killing and injuring any Bostonians in its path. Over a hundred years later, this incident can still teach us about poor regulatory measures and the sour situations we may find ourselves in as a result of them.

Welcome to the Corporate Casket, a weekly series where bad businesses go to die.

When Ink Master appeared in 2012 on Spike it promised to bring the world a tattoo competition that transported you into the lives of the best tattoo artists in the country as they duked it out to become the “Ink Master”. But, over the years the show has definitely caused a few controversies. Whether it be how “real” the show actually was, how they treated their “canvases” and the scandals surrounding the judges there is certainly a lot to talk about.

Welcome to Multi Level Mondays, a weekly series all about multi level marketing, pyramid schemes, and ponzi schemes.

Self-help, by nature, is meant to be an industry to help people. Listening to self-help gurus will help you become a better person, a more accomplished person…right? Unfortunately, so much of the self-help industry is a scam. Anyone can be a motivational guru, and anyone can be a scammer, too.
