Fraudsters

This week's Fraudwire Includes a 9-year-old draining his dad's company credit card for his Minecraft YouTube, a government fraud crackdown led by a woman who insider-traded her way out of the Senate, ghost daycares in San Diego, and so much more. Nobody's innocent, everybody's shady, and Seena and Ariel have theories.[00:03:50] The $118,000 Kid[00:06:00] Dad's Confession Video[00:08:40] Is This Even Real?[00:23:00] Vance's Fraud Crackdown[00:25:50] The SBA Boss Who Scammed[00:29:40] Ghost Daycares Exposed[00:36:50] Mitch McConnell Is DeadPatreon: https://patreon.com/FraudstersFollow The Show:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fraudsterslpn/YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@fraudsterslpnWebsite:https://fraudsters.fm/  Follow the Hosts:  Seena: [https://instagram.com/seenanowJustin: https://www.instagram.com/justin_williams_comedyAriel: [https://instagram.com/arielleatyMusic Credit and Sound FX: https://twitter.com/gograntgordon  Season Cover Art by: Cierra Monico Subscribe to SiriusXM Podcasts+ to listen to new episodes of Fraudsters ad-free.

This week's Fraudwire is a full buffet of people succeeding at lying on the internet. Join us as we discuss the Temptation Island star who faked her way through Duke University,  the man in a 49ers helmet (no pads, no roster spot, just vibes) who suckered $1.3 million out of dozens of women, and the AI-generated celebrity endorsement that tricked a UK-resident into giving away a quarter million pounds.
