Residents in an upscale Ancaster, Ontario neighbourhood often wondered about the one homeowner that seemed to stand out. He didn’t look much older than 19, didn’t seem to work, yet had a near million dollar house and a collection of exotic cars.
In 2017 a joint RCMP / FBI operation on the home's front porch led to the arrest of 22-year-old Karim Baratov, and provided answers to many of the neighborhood's questions about him and his wealth.
MJ Banias and Jordan will explore this story together by seeking the firsthand account directly from the source.
Karim Baratov, now older, wiser, and no longer an American prison inmate will join the show to recount the fascinating sotry of how a Kazakhstani immigrant in Canada achieved great wealth as one of Canada’s most notorious computer hackers, only to experience a dramatic and public downfall.
