About this listen

Host Jack Maddox examines Deadwood's darkest chapter: the 1883 Greenwood Mine fraud and Reduction Works scam that preyed on a dying gold town's desperation. Through newspaper archives, we uncover how frontier press boosterism fueled investment schemes that cost locals everything, and explore the uncomfortable parallels between 19th-century swindles and modern financial fraud.
