In Episode 4 of The FraudQast, we start to piece together the story of how expansive Dawn’s scheme over the years has been through the affidavit written by FBI Special Agent Custer, who was tasked with investigating Bennett after multiple complaints reached FINRA and the SEC. The extent of her fraud went beyond simply exaggerating the types of returns she could offer, but actually went as far as falsifying financial documents, to outright lying about how she was using investor funds. With the pressure of authorities and investigations weighing on Dawn, she turns to abstract and mystical practices in an attempt to use spiritual means to save her from being caught.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
