The Outlaw Ocean is an anthology podcast that plunges you into the vast and often lawless world of the open seas. Today we're featuring an investigation from S2 called The Shrimp Factory Whistleblower. In this episode, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Ian Urbina joins Josh Farenello. What started off as a dream job, slowly revealed itself to be a nightmare. Josh moved to southern India to oversee a shrimp-processing plant, but it soon dawned on him that he’d been really been hired as an American face to “whitewash” a forced-labour factory. The largely female employees were effectively trapped on the compound, routinely underpaid, and forced to live in inhumane, unsanitary conditions. Over several months, Josh meticulously gathered evidence that he brought to the Outlaw Ocean team for this exclusive exposé.

In a U.S. federal courtroom Tuesday, Keith Raniere was sentenced to 120 years—having been convicted of a slew of crimes related to his alleged sex cult NXIVM.

You can tell everything you need to know about someone by the way they treat their mother...and you can just tell this woman is the type that probably has talked down to and looked down her nose at her mother since she was a spoiled little kid. Always thinking she was so much smarter and so much more enlightened than her simple mother when the truth has probably always been that her mother has always been and continues to be a far better human being than she will ever be. Even now she doesn't give her mother the respect of her undivided attention when they are together knowing full well how much that bothers her....That tantrum she talked about.....actually suggesting she was close to pushing her sick old mother down the stairs because she wouldnt leave her alone or whatever and almost seems to suggest that would have been understandable behavior.....No...thats sick behavior to even joke about and it didn't really seem like she was joking....and that behavior is not a result of any

I'm sorry but this woman is as phony as the day is long.... When he asks about if she should keep the money she made she has this dramatic long pause and then answers..."I don't know how to answer that"....which really means....i don't know how to say yes and still sound good but I don't want to publicly say no and then people will expect me not to keep it. I feel bad for some if what she allowed herself to go through but this is a woman who is not nearly as intelligent as she wants people to believe...she knows how to SOUND intelligent but from her own words...when she was initially recruited...it was just pathetic....she literally said every word the recruiter wanted her to say and responded to the recruiters questions word for word how the recruiter felt she was supposed to respond. I do feel bad for her.....but probably not for the reasons she wants everyone to feel bad for her. I wish the conversation at the bar with her friends would have been recorded...(though im not totally
Nay E.
This man does horrible comparisons
