In this episode, we look into ancient examples of white-collar crimes. In this episode, we explore the cunning schemes of ancient times, from Ea-Nasir's subpar copper dealings in Mesopotamia to the bribing of the Oracle at Delphi, the bottomry fraud of Greek merchant Hegestratos, and Crassus' extortionate fire brigades in Rome. We also uncover medieval sheep fraud, the corrupt practices of Pope Alexander VI, and fast forward to more recent history with Sarah Howe's Ladies' Deposit Company and Charles Ponzi's infamous scheme. Join us for an enlightening look at how financial crimes have shaped history.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. 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.
