  • Great podcast

    This was a good listen although due to my low intelligence and my headphones kept falling out, I found it hard to know who all the characters in the plot were. However I did get the gist and enjoyed listening. It’s a crazy story and incredible what a huge scam went on so long and fooled even those who were at the highest level in the mining and commodities business. Very good

  • Great podcast

    Very intriguing and well done. I don’t know why folks say it ended abruptly. It ended with answers the listeners needed to figure out for themselves. Real life stories, and some fiction, are like that. Nothing is ever completely known.
