  • Summary

  • If a billionaire donates money to a good cause, does that make them a good person? Hosts Emily Walsh and Daniel Moss are two married millennials who learned about financial crises by living through them, and now they’re diving into the wild world of the uber rich. They discuss financial crimes, the breakdown of the American dream, and why funding a museum doesn’t necessarily make you a good person. They get into the old timey rich, like the Rockafellers family, and current events, like why you might not want to shop at Walmart. Each week they’ll dive into a new wealthy person, give you the rundown on their lives, whatever “good things” they’ve done in the past, and why they might be a bummer.

    Sneaky Hidey Law Nonsense- Part Five of the Sackler Family
    Apr 23 2024

    This week we are wrapping up the Sacklers. This ep has plenty of righteous indignation as well as we learn about how the family used their money and influence to avoid any true punishment.

    But we also learn about how the Art world turned its back on the Sacklers even after they spent so much money trying to buy its friendship. We learn about some really cool artists and lawyers who made it their life's mission to tear down the Sackler name.

    Hope you enjoy!
