About this episode

Kerry Coddett joins Laci to discuss a colorful real estate scam in Astoria, Queens.

Kerry Coddett, actress and comedian known for her work in Flatbush Misdemeanors, Ramy, Crashing, and The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore, joins Laci for one of the most colorful scams we've ever covered. In Astoria, Queens, one couple scammed multiple members of their immigrant community with one of the ugliest houses ever seen on Zillow.  Multiple fronts, including a fashion house, delayed justice, but as with most scams, greed eventually caught up with the perpetrators.  SOCIALS: Join us on YouTube!
