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.
