Customer Reviews
One Of The Best Podcasts I've Ever Listened To
The quality of the production is unbelievable. The story is extraordinary and had me glued from start to finish. Cannot recommend this podcast enough
Well produced, researched and presented.
Worth listening to all the episodes. Fascinating tale of fast money, lies and deception, and mystery.
Extremely Detailed
Everything is done very professionally, but you still feel a personal connection to the narrator. The music production is done wonderfully, and everything comes together great.
The story.... oh, the story is WONDERFUL! Extremely detailed, and almost unbelievable. This deserves 5 stars!
