On this week's episode, we welcome the "Grand Poobah" of the Orange County comedy scene, Daniel Zambrano, and cover two unbelievable but true crime stories: A man convicted of selling fraudulent Pokémon cards whose criminal background is somehow even more outlandish than the scam itself-- including a brinks truck robbery with an inner tube as the getaway car?!?! Then we break down the case involving a fake credit card scheme, proving once again that fraudsters never seem to run out of ideas. We unpack the bizarre details, laugh at the absurdity, and ask the only reasonable question; how did they think they would get away with it???
