February 01, 2023

Adam (he/him) returns us to the high seas. His story takes us to the Medici family in olden times Italy, one of the earliest art heists ever recorded and some piratesssss!!!! Yar might want to pop any seasickness pills yee have at the ready.

Next, Bec (they/them) takes us back to land to share the story or Rita Crundwell; comptroller, equestrian, embezzler. How does one woman steal literal millions of dollars from her work undetected for two decades, only to spend to all on horses? This is a wild story of a woman with brazen entitlement and a desire to live beyond her means. And if it wasn't for one co-worker seeing something they weren't meant to see, who's to say when or if she would've been caught.
