The very first crime dens were the boardrooms. And our business helped feed their empire. They’ve stolen our trust; you should at least know their names. On Sunday afternoons, we highlight the rise and fall of the world’s more prolific white and red collar criminals. If you’re interested in the TRUE true crime, hit play on the latest episode of Scam Kings. HOST: Kershelle Mike, Turbulent Bookworm Podcasts
