Underworld exposes the secret world of transnational criminal networks that have flourished since there were banks to bust, drugs to smuggle, and scams to run. Journalists Danny Gold and Sean Williams bring their experience reporting on dangerous people and organizations to take listeners on a global tour of mobsters, warlords and crooks - from Brooklyn to Beijing, from the streets to the boardrooms - and everywhere in between. Underworld is a show about heroes, villains, and the barely visible mafias that affect all our lives, whether we know it or not.

    The World's Biggest Arms Trafficker Goes Down Hard

    When Adnan Khashoggi, Saudi arms dealer and self-styled world’s richest man, met with US officials to discuss the Ayatollah, it may have seemed like a chance to cash in corporate power for political clout. But the affair — and an ill-advised friendship with the kleptocratic leaders of the Philippines — would send Khashoggi’s businesses into a tailspin, and land him jail. What came next was one of the most spectacular court cases of the era. And it finally shined a spotlight on the life and legends of a man whose lavish lifestyle was the envy of world leaders, and an up-and-coming Donald Trump. Learn more about your ad choices.

    The Dixie Mafia: Gone South w/Jed Lipinski

    The Dixie Mafia terrorized the southern US for decades before authorities were finally able to bring them down. Starting off as a loose collective of career criminals who specialized in burglaries and robberies, they grew more organized after starting to use the infamous Biloxi strip of undercover brothels and gambling houses as a base, eventually shifting to everything from drug smuggling to contract killing to even running national romance scams. We're joined by Jed Lipinski of Gone South to break down everything from carnie robberies to corrupt sheriffs and murdered judges. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    The Richest Arms Dealer Ever: Adnan Khashoggi

    Adnan Khashoggi was born in Mecca — but his life was anything but pious. The billionaire had multiple wives, girlfriends and armies of callgirls, not to mention gambling sessions and club nights whose costs ran into the millions of dollars. Khashoggi made his first riches shipping arms from the US to Saudi Arabia. But soon his “fees,” and the ways he got them, began to catch up with him. And dalliances in politics, bad investments, and some friends in dark places, would send the life of the ‘world’s richest man’ into a criminal tailspin. Learn more about your ad choices.

    The Mobster Who Ruled Hawaii & His Brutal Revenge Quest

    Michael Miske came from a broken home through years of petty crime to lead a gang of lost boys in Honolulu, cornering its drug scene and befriending cops to build an empire of pain in the Aloha State. But when Miske’s son slammed his car into a truck and died, it sent the kingpin on a spiral of misplaced rage — ending in murder, conspiracy and even a chemical weapon attack. Even when the law caught up with him, Miske had one last trick up his sleeve. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    BONUS: The Mercenaries, Rebels and Robbers Fighting over Congo’s Riches

    What do Rwandan-backed rebels, a Bulgarian-French gold robber, Romanian mercenaries and Erik Prince have in common? Yep, you guessed it - they’re all scrambling to secure the riches that lay beneath the soil of North Kivu, a Congolese region filled with all the rare earth minerals a tech broligarch could need. And as M23 guerrillas take Goma, its largest city, we ask Nathan Southern and Lindsey Kennedy—who travelled there a year back—what it’s really like, and what the future might hold for those trapped in the crossfire.

    America's Most Dangerous Prison Gang: The Aryan Brotherhood

    What started as a small gang of white prisoners in a California state prison in the 1960's is now one of, if not the most powerful prison gang across America, with tens of thousands of soldiers across federal and state lines. Though they're alleged to only have approximately 150 full-fledged members, the Aryan Brotherhood has found ways to dominate prison economies and expand their rackets into the outside world. The Brand, as the Aryan Brotherhood is sometimes called, has morphed from a self-described white supremacist prison gang into an all-encompassing criminal syndicate putting profit and power over their ideological stances.
