    An ordinary Aussie, a big bank, an outrageous true story....

    Luke ‘Milky’ Moore is a fun-loving Australian country boy who transforms into a high-rolling playboy, a prison inmate, and a successful criminal lawyer – all because of a bank error.

    Milky’s story starts in a dark place. After the 2008 stock market crash, Milky loses his job, life savings, suffers serious injury in a massive car accident, and struggles to make his house payments. And of course, his girlfriend leaves him. But at this lowest point, his bank accidentally throws him a lifeline. It starts automatically making house payments without deducting money from his account and if he withdraws money it isn’t detected. Milky thinks fate has given him a second chance. He moves to the Miami of Australia: the Gold Coast and the money just keeps on coming. Two million dollars later he’s the king of the party scene where every night it’s strippers, fast cars, drugs, and new friends. But how long can the party last before the law catches up to him?

    Narrated by comedian Jim Jefferies, hear this great Australian ripping yarn directly from the people who lived it. This unique comedy documentary will have you on the edge of your seat, laughing, crying, appalled, and entertained, but dying to hear how much deeper s##t Milky can get himself into.

Absolute fantastic yarn

Am really looking forward to the movie from this yarn.
Is Milky a modern day Australian hero...
You be the judge, absolute lad who's ability to adapt to a given situation is hilarious.
Well edited, Jim Jeffries touch makes this most probably the most Straya story of all time.
Give it a hoon, it's well worth it.

If this was presented by anyone other than Jim Jefferies, you'd almost think Milky was a criminal!

I love that he is so aware of the right and wrong.

Truly an unbelievable story. Amusing in the reality of the screwed up system that we live in.

Great True Life Story....

If your into the real life docu-stories that are so crazy you can't believe it, then this is the story for you. I loved "Pepsi Where's My Jet", and "Tetris", and this is a little bit like those stories. If you want something light, fun, fast, easy to listen to while at work, check this out. The accents can be a little hard to understand sometimes but nothing too bad.

Unbelievable

At first, I was appalled and I don’t think I would’ve made the same choices Milky did, Eventually, I found myself secretly cheering him on to win the case. Can’t wait for more episodes after he starts his law practice…

Incredibly likeable individual.

Great story, guy manipulates a loop hole and, as usual, the establishment and Police are right there to protect the banks/money.
Bravo Milky, the day we look to the police, the banks and the legal system for morality will be a dark day indeed.

Jim Jefferies is the perfect reader

Entertaining true crime story. Well balanced to tell human story, humour, and explain the potentially very dry technicalities of white collar crime (or not). Jim Jefferies is the ideal reader as I would 100% believe this was him

what would you do if it happened to you?

A fascinating story about someone who thought he got a lucky break and ran with it. It could happen to anyone, couldn't it? This story is based on fact but is presented in a humourous and down to earth way. You become invested in the prose and you hold your breath for the next chapter. You feel the concern off his family who worry about what the heck is going on. You can also imagine being in Milkys' shoes and the decisions you might make. Entertaining and thought provoking with, in my book, a just ending. Morals v The law.
