      No matter how outrageous or outlandish the scheme, Timmy D could not lose! Hop onto perhaps the most hilarious episode yet with Bibi and Sibel as they tell you about the legendary Massachusetts "nobleman", Timothy Dexter! Clearly especially blessed by the gods, the man defied all logic , making millions on gut instinct and a second-grade education, much to the consternation and chagrin of the Newburyport elite.

    • The Evil Pharma Schemes of Martin Shkreli

      The Evil Pharma Schemes of Martin Shkreli
      Jul 30 2022
      Warning: This episode is not funny. What it is, is a look at the greed that exists in the world of hedge funds and big pharma, as embodied by one Martin Shkreli, the guy who took a life-saving drug and inflated its price by several thousand percent. However, as disgusting as that was, it was entirely another scheme that landed him in prison.
