Financial Crimes in Ancient Times

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.
