    Sam Israel: Greed Is Good Part 1 | 227
    Aug 10 2026
    Sam Israel was born into wealth, but he wanted to prove he could make it on Wall Street on his own. So he started a hedge fund – and almost immediately started losing money. But instead of admitting failure to his investors, he decided to lie. Eventually those lies spiraled into a $450 million fraud, a faked suicide, and a wild descent into a secret world of black-ops and dangerous con men. In a last ditch effort to dig his company out of debt, Sam is going to bet everything on a venture so bizarre, so shrouded in secrecy, that it’ll make the fraud look rational by comparison.

    Miracle Children: The Price of Admission | 226
    Aug 3 2026
    T.M Landry was a small independent school in Louisiana that gained national fame for sending kids from disadvantaged backgrounds to Ivy League schools. The viral videos were inspiring. The acceptance letters were real. But behind the scenes, the school doctored transcripts and fabricated personal stories to get students in – and behind closed doors, students endured psychological and physical abuse at the hands of the school’s founders. In this episode, we talk with the two New York Times reporters who broke the story – Erica L. Green and Katie Benner, authors of Miracle Children: Race, Education, and a True Story of False Promises.

    Martin Armstrong: The Man Who Bet Billions on Pi | 224
    Jul 20 2026
    Martin Armstrong is a Wall Street outsider who builds a financial prediction model with a hidden connection to the number pi. And whether it’s fortune-telling or just a fluke, Martin’s system really does predict some major economic events. His discovery attracts billions in investor funds and gives him the confidence to make bets no rational person would make. But when those bets fail, Martin faces a choice: admit the model was wrong or insist the whole world is conspiring against him. What happens next is either one of the greatest deep-state coverups in history… or an unhinged numerology scam that has Martin’s followers still tangled up to this day.
