Scam Goddess

Laci is joined by writer, comedian, and friend Jenny Yang (Last Man Standing) to discuss the “Warren Buffett” of insurance fraud. Greg Lindberg stole $2 billion from his own companies, then tried to pay a state official $200 million to stay quiet about it. Plus, a baddie climate activist from China allegedly sex-blackmailed Milwaukee Bucks co-owner Wes Edens. Laci asks: Are psychics, valets, and tipping outside of restaurants a scam, a scheme, or the real thing? Stay schemin’!

We hope you like spaghetti, CONgregation, because today we're joined by Grant & Ash (A Twink and a Redhead), to dig into this week's scampilation. The squad discusses the scam of Spencer Pratt running for LA mayor, a Georgia mayor who fired the entire police force for petty reasons, the CEO of United Airlines flying American, Dua Lipa versus Samsung, and a thief who returned Lego sets filled with pasta. Plus, Laci asks: Are towing companies, TV subscriptions, and celebrity skincare a scam, a scheme, or the real thing? Stay schemin’!
