We see each other.

Okay, hello, it's Chapo for Monday, May 16th.

And let's just get into it with this week's guest.

of the Franklin credit scandal or Larry King or Craig Spence or any of the truly nightmarish

details of this story, what are the what are the broad outlines?

Like if you had to describe to someone who never heard it before, what the Franklin credit

scandal is.
