  • Slowww down

    Wish the host would take a breath and overall speak slower. Speaking like there’s no punctuation plus unnecessary tense music makes it hard to listen to.

Ep. 3: Cover Story

It's a pretty remarkable coincidence.
Ep. 3: Cover Story
Q: How nervous were you while all this was happening?
It was pretty nerve wracking.
Ep. 3: Cover Story
Q: Was there ever a situation where you felt like this thing might fall apart?
Every single day, every single day. Because, no, I say that facetiously, but this was a case, we collected so much information, we've identified so many traders, but then as we got closer to say, you know what, now we have enough to actually charge people.
Ep. 4: A Life of Lies
Q: So how do you get intelligence? By spying. And spying has always been based on deception.

Ep. 4: A Life of Lies
Q: So how do you do that?
