Show notes

A new podcast series about a pair of con men whose escalating crimes of greed left a trail of victims in their wake. The show follows the stories of Kaushal Niroula, Danny Garcia, and the victims whose bank accounts they drained and lives they upended. The two men masqueraded as real estate moguls, art dealers, bankers, and even royalty as their web of manipulation crossed academia, immigration, and finance. They scammed anyone they could — including each other — until they committed the one crime they couldn’t con their way out of: murder.
