Wow!
Very interesting and sad.
Terrible Scam
Thank you for the episodes, very informative information .
Winning investigation
I’ve heard a few other podcasts explore this topic but none with the depth, personal connections and extensive sourcing that this one does. Great work and a wild ride.
Really appreciate that the host is both an excellent journalist and someone with connections to America and India who can bring his talents to the project. One of my favorite this year.
