About the show

The Fraud Archive Dialogues is part of The Archive Network, a collection of podcasts dedicated to the stories that shaped our world. Every episode is a conversation. Aurelius and Malik, curators of The Fraud Archive, take a single case, a Ponzi scheme, an accounting fraud, a crypto collapse, a con that fooled investors, auditors and entire nations, and work through it together from beginning to end. One traces how the scheme was built: the mechanics, the numbers, the machinery of belief that kept it standing. The other presses on what that account leaves out, who actually lost, why intelligent people believed, what the regulators missed, and what the whole affair says about the systems that allowed it. From Charles Ponzi and Bernie Madoff to Enron, Theranos, Wirecard and FTX, these are not summaries. Each episode is one complete story, examined from both sides in a single sitting. The Archive Network is an independent project. Every archive, podcast and documentary is free, no ads, no paywalls.
