Spike and the guys weigh in on the dastardly criminal known as the Timepiece Gentleman, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, RM's $51M GTO auction, an Audi RS 7 gets stolen by a hotel valet, and a billionaire that uses his son's blood to fortify his penis.

Yepoka Yeebo has written for The Guardian, Bloomberg Businessweek, and Quartz. Her new book is Anansi's Gold: The Man Who Looted the West, Outfoxed Washington, and Swindled the World. “Initially it was like, Why are you writing about a con man? He makes Ghana look bad. Nobody needs another crime story about an African person. I found that irritating, because isn't the whole point of being a complete person, complete people, is we contain multitudes? We too can be epic, world-leading con men! Also, it's a great story. Everybody should revel in the insanity of what happened.” Show notes: @yepoka yepokayeebo.com Yeebo on Longform Anansi's Gold: The Man Who Looted the West, Outfoxed Washington, and Swindled the World 16:00 “The True Story of the Fake U.S. Embassy in Ghana” (The Guardian • Nov 2017) Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode we delve into the captivating untold story of a Ghanaian scammer who capitalized on post-independence chaos to weave a web of lies about missing gold, secret Swiss bank accounts, and a mysterious fund that held untold billions. Under the guise of releasing this fictitious fund, he swindled millions from unsuspecting investors, weaving a web of Cold War intrigue, global finance, and mythological entities. The story not only illuminates the audacious con but also explores the intricate relationship between deception and the shaping of history. For our Plus+ members, we turn our attention to a UFO outbreak in Israel during the early 1990s. What initially appeared as a standard UFO occurrence took a terrifying turn. Could warring extraterrestrial species have descended upon Israel during those years, and what were their intentions?

A good scam works like a magic trick. There's a beautiful, complex story being sold, but the truth is disappointingly simple. The Oman Ghana Trust Fund raised hundreds of millions of dollars. Investors hoped their money would help unlock Ghana's inheritance and billions of dollars worth of gold. Many were sold 10-to-1, even 100-to-1 returns on this promise.  Yepoka Yeebo is the author of “Anansi's Gold: The Man Who Looted the West, Outfoxed Washington, and Swindled the World.” Ricky Mulvey caught up with Yeebo to discuss: - How a scammer builds credibility. - The investor biases can lead someone to be defrauded. - How the money in the trust fund scam's scheme actually disappeared.
