In Part 2 of this gripping interview, we delve deep into the life and experiences of Jonathan Pollard, a former Israeli spy whose story of espionage, severe sentencing, and eventual transformation in prison is both controversial and enlightening.

Pollard opens up about his journey, from the operational challenges he faced as a spy to the harsh realities of life in prison. He reflects on the high price he paid for his actions, including a life sentence and the subsequent legal battles. His account provides a unique perspective on the American justice system and its treatment of espionage cases, especially those involving allies.

Pollard also shares his transformation in prison, where he found solace and strength in faith, leading to his observance of Judaism. His story is not just about espionage but also about personal growth and resilience in the face of adversity.  Dr. Bob and Jonathan explore current geopolitical issues, offering Pollard's insights into the complexities of Israeli military strategies and the broader implications for global politics.

We just got back from the first stop on our fall 2023 WITHpod tour. We’re thrilled to share a recording of our live event at the Texas Tribune Festival with Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord, co-hosts of the MSNBC podcast, “Prosecuting Donald Trump.” Weissmann and McCord, who are both former federal prosecutors, joined in Austin, TX to discuss former president and criminal defendant Trump’s continually growing legal issues as the country prepares for the presidential election in 2024. They also talk about the key point that up until recently, everything that's ever happened to Trump in the past with regards to the law has happened in the regime of civil law, which charges in their view will be the clearest, whether they think he will be convicted before Election Day in 2024 and so much more.

When a big company fails due to fraud and it seems that a big audit firm dropped the ball, it won’t be long until Steve Thomas shows up to sue their pants off. Caleb and Greg talk to Steve about how his career evolved from becoming a partner at a white shoe law firm to starting a specialty practice that sues audit firms that have failed to detect frauds, and winning big settlements for his clients.

El esquema Ponzi surgió hace más de medio siglo, cuando Carlo Ponzi realizó una estafa por muchos millones de dólares a través de un esquema piramidal en el que utilizaba el dinero de algunos inversionistas para pagar a otros, sin realmente invertir los recursos y generar rendimientos. Un caso muy sonado de este tipo de estafas fue el de Bernie Madoff en Estados Unidos hace mucho menos tiempo que Carlo Ponzi. En la actualidad existen estafadores que utilizan este tipo de esquema para engañar a posibles inversionistas. En este episodio, Susana Sáenz platicó con Víctor Gómez Ayala, director de Inteligencia de Datos en la Fundación Rafael Dondé y profesor de Economía del ITAM, para entender cómo funcionan estas estafas y cómo es posible prevenirlas.

Today, James welcomes Kelly Richmond-Pope, a forensic accountant and professor at DePaul University, to discuss her new book Fool Me Once: Scams, Stories, and Secrets from the Trillion-Dollar Fraud Industry.

The book explores the world of financial fraud and provides insights into how fraudsters operate, the damage they cause, and the techniques used to catch them. James and Kelly dive into some examples from the book to examine the three types of financial fraudsters: Intentional Perpetrators, Righteous Perpetrators, and Accidental Perpetrators.

Intentional Perpetrators are those who knowingly commit fraud for personal gain. Kelly shares some fascinating stories about individuals who engaged in elaborate schemes to defraud others, including the city comptroller of Dixon, IL (population: 16,000) who embezzled over $53.7m from the town's coffers.

Righteous Perpetrators, on the other hand, believe that they are acting in the best interest of others when they commit fraud. Kelly provides examples of individuals who embezzled funds from their companies to support their personal causes, such as a woman who stole money from her slumlord boss to benefit her community.

Lastly, Accidental Perpetrators are those who unknowingly commit fraud. Kelly discusses cases where people unintentionally misrepresent their financial statements or fail to report income accurately, resulting in unintentional fraud.

Throughout the episode, James and Kelly also explore some of the broader issues surrounding financial fraud, and the importance of education in preventing fraud.  Don't miss this captivating episode if you're curious about the fascinating world of finance, fraud, and forensics.

The Big Themes:

• Similarities between Madoff and SBF: Both men "wrapped themselves" in celebrity, fancy parties, and politics. They were able to pull off the deception they created by being good "talkers" and schmoozers.
• Differences between Madoff and SBF: Where Madoff admitted his wrongdoing virtually immediately, SBF has been spinning a story of incompetence rather than crime. Christopher makes connections between this behavior to SBF's identity as a Native Digital.
• Is the end of FTX also the end of crypto? Christopher says no way. This type of scandal will probably help to move regulation of crypto in the right direction, and the market will calm down eventually. Native Digitals don't believe in "analog money," and the promise of crypto remains.

The Big Quote: "What we have here is a classic situation where when something's new, when something is generally not well understood, and when something's generally not regulated, you're going to end up here. So I think at the end of the day, the crypto world will be stronger for this because we'll get some of the regulation that we have that makes some of these things hard, although Madoff proved you can get away with bad shit in the legacy world very easily... But I think it's a mistake to say this is the end of crypto."

Chris Harper, co-founder of ZippedScript, stops by to talk about the number of people who lie on their resumes and shares his company's approach to flipping the script on education verification.  ZippedScript offers global degree verification (in the U.S. and for any country in the world) instantly using new technology that connects directly to an institution’s database with 100% accuracy. Chris says this is only the beginning as they have plans to expand into other areas on the resume where people are even more likely to misrepresent the truth. So, if you didn't go to Harvard or didn't get that Master's Degree in Political Science, it's time to either update your resume or get to work on those applications.

According to Forbes Magazine there are 2,755 billionaires in the world today.  The top five industries where they made their money are Finance, Technology, Manufacturing, Retail and Healthcare. It is rare to become a billionaire, but even more unusual to reach that level and then lose everything, but it is not unheard of. 

Today we’ll look at ten one-time billionaires who later went bankrupt, and one whose net worth fell from eight billion dollars to two million dollars.

Some of the people on this list lost their money through unfortunate investments, some through engaging in criminal activity. One gained her billions through divorce and then squandered it all, and one just gave it all away.

Florida Sports Man joined me on today's podcast and keeps hyping K2.   I am a fan of Pitts but Trask to me is going to be an NFL backup.
I don't see Lefty as a top ten golfer all-time.  He's had a great career but if you're not first you're last.  And we don't give effort trophies in the game of life.
Aaron Judge has two home runs for Yanks today but Gleyber Torres is not going to cut it at shortstop this season for the Yankees.   Clint Frazier is already out as Yanks starting LF no matter what the team says.   Send him to a team that will play him every day.  PLEASE.
MNF offered a job to Charles Barkley.  He turned it down.  He would have been entertaining.
