About this episode

The Peggy Fulford case involves a con artist who posed as a wealthy financial advisor and defrauded professional athletes out of millions of dollars. She convinced clients—including NBA player Travis Best and Dennis Rodman and NFL star Ricky Williams—to let her manage their finances, falsely claiming to be a Harvard-educated financial expert. In reality, she had no formal financial training and used their money to fund her luxurious lifestyle, including private jets, mansions, and designer goods. In 2018, she was sentenced to 10 years in prison for wire fraud and money laundering.
