Just finished the video with Dr. Linda Varisco and it got me thinking. Matt and the guests often talk about "willful ignorance" when people get caught up in these massive fraud schemes. Do you guys think these people genuinely don't know what's happening, or is it just a convenient excuse once the FBI knocks? I feel like at a $25M level, you *have* to know something is off. Also, anyone else notice how much the dynamic changes when Tom Simon is on? I love the FBI perspective vs the "con man" perspective. What do you think—is the show better with the agents or the former "bad guys"? Let's discuss! 🍿
