Weird how they don't interview any of the countless families Thompson directly destroyed through his bloodthirsty drive for profit over everything. Thompson was a sociopathic serial killer, full stop.

Is this podcast ever going to get underwater??

It's a shame that what could have been such an interesting story got turned into an over-produced, one-sided money grab of a commercial for law enforcement and the drug industry.

We love Luigi and hate CEOs
Dana P.
