The Fraud Archive Dialogues is part of The Archive Network, a collection of podcasts dedicated to the stories that shaped our world.


Every episode is a conversation. Aurelius and Malik, curators of The Fraud Archive, take a single case, a Ponzi scheme, an accounting fraud, a crypto collapse, a con that fooled investors, auditors and entire nations, and work through it together from beginning to end. One traces how the scheme was built: the mechanics, the numbers, the machinery of belief that kept it standing. The other presses on what that account leaves out, who actually lost, why intelligent people believed, what the regulators missed, and what the whole affair says about the systems that allowed it.


From Charles Ponzi and Bernie Madoff to Enron, Theranos, Wirecard and FTX, these are not summaries. Each episode is one complete story, examined from both sides in a single sitting.


The Archive Network is an independent project. Every archive, podcast and documentary is free, no ads, no paywalls. If it's been worth

  • Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room Were Lying

    Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room Were Lying
    Aug 8 2026
    In the beginning, Enron did not look like a crime scene. It looked like the future. But hidden inside that rise was a small, clean lie. And once that lie worked, the rest became possible.In the late nineteen eighties, Enron still fit the old picture of an energy company. It had pipes, contracts, and a business tied to natural gas. Then deregulation changed everything. Markets opened. Traders gained influence. Wall Street began rewarding speed, sophistication, and the promise of cleverness.Aurelius and Malik take on this case in full — 5 chapters, 32 minutes, one complete story.Learn more at: https://thefraudarchive.com/fraud/enron

  • 1MDB: How a Malaysian Sovereign Fund Was Looted for $4.5 Billion

    1MDB: How a Malaysian Sovereign Fund Was Looted for $4.5 Billion
    Aug 7 2026
    A sovereign fund was supposed to build a nation. Instead, it became the front door to one of the biggest thefts in modern finance. The first clue was not a hidden vault or a masked raid. It was a clean, official promise that sounded almost too respectable to question.1Malaysia Development Berhad, known as 1MDB, was born in two thousand nine with the language of progress wrapped around it. Public capital. National development. Strategic investment. On paper, it looked like the future. But here is the catch. In Malaysia, proximity to power could matter almost as much as law. And 1MDB sat close to the center.Aurelius and Malik take on this case in full — 5 chapters, 33 minutes, one complete story.Learn more at: https://thefraudarchive.com/fraud/1malaysia-development-berhad

  • FTX: The Fastest Collapse of a Crypto Empire

    FTX: The Fastest Collapse of a Crypto Empire
    Aug 6 2026
    Imagine a company that looks like the future of money. Fast. Clean. Almost frictionless. Now imagine that behind the glow of that promise, customer funds are already moving into places they were never meant to go.That is where the FTX story begins. Not with a loud explosion, but with a small, ordinary breach that would eventually swallow a thirty-two billion dollar empire. Sam Bankman-Fried came out of a very specific financial world. He was shaped by quantitative trading culture, by the post-two thousand eight search for speed, by the idea that software could do what older institutions could not.Aurelius and Malik take on this case in full — 5 chapters, 34 minutes, one complete story.Learn more at: https://thefraudarchive.com/fraud/ftx-sam-bankman-fried
