Episode: The Many Cons Of Barry Minkow, Part 1
Description: Danny is back with a deep dive on Barry Minkow, a man with a relentless entrepreneurial spirit for cons and scams. In Part 1, he covers Minkow’s early start as a child telemarketer and how his adolescent carpet-cleaning business, ZZZZ Best, led to credit card fraud, stock fraud, ties to the mob, and prison. Come back next week for Part 2, where Barry becomes a born-again Christian.
