About the show

My old boss sued his mom. And now he’s in jail, facing up to 45 years in federal prison for fraud. The company (worth over $8 billion just 2 years ago) has now filed for bankruptcy. We worked at this company together for a year, and while we didn’t witness fraud firsthand, we saw a lot of crazy things and have plenty of wild stories: - Like when our COO hired his girlfriend as head of HR - Like how we were almost the official cryptocurrency of the University of Utah - A Jeep stolen from the Gambia - Insider trading - A marketing department that didn’t do any marketing - Being told to knock doors to sell a cybersecurity product that didn’t exist - A POS POS (piece of sh*t point of sale) - A mansion bought with customer funds - The worst public speech of all time - An 8 million dollar hack - How company headquarters got broken into (and you never heard about it) And more! We will be telling our stories and bringing on former coworkers to tell theirs. Subscribe and don't miss an episode!
