  • Great idea executed poorly

    I love this concept, but Laci is a frustrating host. She mispronounces legal words and misreads her notes, so you kind of feel like a sucker trying to learn anything from someone who knows less than the listener. The episode i just completed was partly about check kiting, and she called it “check kitting” throughout. Not for me.

  • Looking at scams with a nuanced perspective

    Lacey is not only a very funny lady, she has the ability to look at scams from a broader lens. Really understanding what motivates people to commit scams and fraud considering socioeconomic backgrounds and race in a capitalist society. I love listening to her meandering thoughts about pop culture.

    Haters are going to hate on a podcast that is not for them. I miss the old excited voice. The current voice sounds too calm lol

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Resurrecting Romance Novelist w/ Paula Poundstone (Fraud Friday)
Q: What is Paula's relationship with scams and why does she find this topic interesting?
Paula describes scams as a natural extension of human behavior and entertainment value, illustrating how con artistry evolves with technology and social dynamics, while keeping a humorous tone.
A Star Wasn't Born w/ Justin Halpern
Q: How did the case impact Mike Smith and his ventures?
The scheme culminated in legal action, including FBI arrest and civil/fraud lawsuits, with millions in royalties forfeited and ongoing scrutiny of AI-generated music and streaming fraud across platforms.
A Star Wasn't Born w/ Justin Halpern
Q: What was the scale and evolution of the One Shot project?
One Shot was a self-financed rap reality show with promises of a $100K prize and a record deal via SMH Records; Mike funded it, assembled a celebrity-host lineup, and produced much of it himself before it faltered and drew scrutiny.
A Star Wasn't Born w/ Justin Halpern
Q: What was the core mechanism of Mike Smith's initial scam?
Mike used fake listeners and bot accounts to boost streams, inflating royalties on his own music and those of associates, which seemed profitable until patterns of fraud triggered oversight and licensing alarms.
The E-Book Evil Twins w/ Mano Agapion & Oscar Montoya
Q: What parallels do you see between traditional scams and AI-driven schemes?
They highlight that AI accelerates the creation and distribution of fraudulent products (fake books, outlines, and reviews), increasing volume and lowering entry barriers, while also recognizing ethical concerns and the challenges of regulation and enforcement.
