Money Crimes and Human Minds
The UK’s medical watchdog has just executed its largest EVER seizure of unlicensed weight-loss medicines, dismantling a massive illicit manufacturing operation. But while the UK faces a booming underground trade, France has decided to permanently reimburse patients for real weight-loss drugs through their healthcare system. In this episode of Money Crimes & Human Minds, we dive into the money crime, the international politics, and the psychological trap driving everyday people to inject unknown backyard chemicals into their veins. We break down the massive 170% price hikes triggered by shifting US healthcare policies, explore the reality of the black market pens filled with pure insulin, and dive into the human mind. Is the system failing to protect us by letting prices soar, or has social media successfully weaponised our vanity against our own common sense?
