Heard something about a financial scandal involving the Feds and that Orange County Housewife Jen's fiancée, Ryan, but don't know the details? This is the pod for you. A look into the key players, what the Feds say they did, the charges they face, how Ryan was allegedly involved, and what's next. It's a tragic tale that involves a talented Los Angeles Dodgers player, casinos, high stakes gambling, bookmaking, and an ultimate betrayal of trust and abuse of power.

Bonus content: a quick synopsis of The Battle of Chavez Ravine and a walk down memory lane to visit the cash cow house of cards that was Countrywide Financial Corporation, pre-housing bubble.
