This week we're discussing a relatively obscure billionaire heir to a cable fortune named Gary Magness. He won an oscar for producing the movie Precious and is currently in court fighting to not have to return $80 million he stole as part of a Ponzi scheme but what we're most interested in is his connection to the episodes we did on the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI). His father Bob Magness was on the board and a major shareholder in a BCCI subsidiary named Capcom Financial which was linked to Saudi Arabian intelligence and to at least $1.3 billion in assets stolen out of the main vehicle of BCCI. His father never was prosecuted never had to return the money he made and now some of that money belongs to Gary. Now Gary spends his Saudi intelligence money buying his daughter a pop music career. We live under the most efficient economic system possible. Here's a copy of the 1992 Kerry Committee report on Capcom Financial the first and last investigation the US government conducted into this: h

We cover the lifestyle and misdeeds of Dan Snyder the owner of the Washington Redskins. He was the youngest owner at the age of 34, and it didnt work out well. This year the team is 1-8 a abysmal record contributed by Dan Snyder being a bit of a worm and weasel. We are joined by Joel Walkowski co-host of the Hold my Bread podcast.

This week it's the $2.8 billion president of Chile Sebastián Piñera. We discuss the protests, his accomplished family, how he won friends and influenced people at home and abroad (laundering money for a dictator's inner circle with the blessing of the CIA), and more! The audio's a little screwy at the beginning and we are deeply sorry. As penance we will make Yogi, who had nothing to do with the production or editing of this episode, read one thousand audio engineering books.

On this episode we cover the misdeeds of Ukrainian Billionaire Igor Kolomoisky. His efficiency knows no bounds he once sent armed to cease physical control of UKRNAFTA. His story includes and pissing matches with Putin about who is more corrupt. Thanks for reading this stickers are on the horizon, and we will be filming Andy licking the Wall street bull soon stay tuned. CORRECTION: The first version of this episode had Sean saying Asst. Secretary of State Victoria Nuland met directly with Dmytro Firtash to ensure the election of Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko. Though there was a meeting where Firtash got one of Poroshenko's main opponents in the race to drop out it was not true to say the Nuland met with him directly. We edited the episode to remove this claim. The Andrew Cockburn article mentioned is a good read on how the US role played out: https://harpers.org/blog/2015/08/undelivered-goods/

"It wasn't only real estate that Lampert signed over to himself. In 2014, Sears sold Land's End, a clothing brand, to a consortium that was two-thirds controlled by ESL. Today, the brand has a rough market value of $314 million. In 2016, Sears sold Craftsman brand tools to Black & Decker for $900 million. The profits were used to pay off debt, including to Lampert. In 2017, Die Hard batteries were put up for sale. And this year, Lampert has made a $400 million bid for Kenmore appliances, the crown jewel of what remains at Sears, along with an $80 million bid for Sears Home Improvement stores. So the leadership of the Sears empire—Lampert—is gradually selling off bits and pieces of it, mostly to Lampert. The cash generated from those deals in large part serviced Sears's debt, the payments on which also went to Lampert. And now, having put Sears into bankruptcy, the top creditor—Lampert—stands to gain from the final fire sale." https://prospect.org/economy/sears-gutted-ceo/
