Don’t Buy Any Green Bananas: The Long Con of Richard Walter
Listen now
Description
A conman can only be as good as the systems that prop him up, and in the case of Richard Walter that happened to be the very system he was defrauding. Through lies and omissions, and a fake twinge of an English accent, Walter convinced the powers that be within the US Justice System that he was a subject matter expert in all things criminal, despite the fact that he had no real training or experience to speak of. Walter’s so-called ‘expert’ testimonies led to false convictions and destroyed lives, all for the glory of one man who wanted to be at the center of it all.  This Week's Sponsors: Grammarly - Go to grammarly.com/PODCAST to download for free today Embrace - Head to embracepetinsurance.com/STRANGE to sign up for pet insurance today Cook Unity - Go to cookunity.com/STRANGE and enter code STRANGE before checkout for 50% off your first week Smalls - Head to smalls.com/STRANGE and use promo code STRANGE at checkout for 50% off your first order PLUS free shipping
