About this episode

Jason shares his harrowing experience of having his belongings taken hostage during an international move, while Nick investigates the company behind the scam.

Jason tells us the story of how his international move went extremely awry. It all seemed to be going so well, right up until the point where the removalists decided to take his belongings hostage. Nick heads out onto the streets of London to try and track down the business behind a web of shell companies, and the man pulling the strings. Thanks to our podcast partner, Guardio.
