I sold a business for $1. Not $100k. Not $10k. One dollar.

Why? Because I fell for the “semi-absentee” franchise lie — the one that promises you passive income in just 5–10 hours a week while keeping your job.

It’s complete BS. And it cost me $300,000 over six years to learn the hard way.

In this episode, I break down which franchise models will bleed you dry, when semi-absentee can actually work, and how to avoid the $300K mistake I made.

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
