This is the American Greet Podcast, presented by CNBC. I'm Stacey Keech.

In this episode of American Greet, Pam Phillips and Gary Triano, their charmed life makes

others green with envy.

The public saw them as a power couple. They saw her as beautiful. They saw him as charismatic.

He's a mega-millionaire developer. She's a socialite, but don't envy them because the

money isn't his. He owed a lot of people a lot of money and declared bankruptcy. So

Gary had a lot of enemies, and when Greed takes hold of their marriage, is there anything

they won't do for money?

You're gonna be very serious. When you send an 11th prison for murder.

In Tucson, Arizona, it seems like every swing of the hammer or pull-of-the-slot machine

back in Tucson's Go-Go days of the 1980s. Rusty Sands is Triano's good friend and

former partner.

At that time, he was very, very, very successful. He was one of the originators of bingo on Indian

reservations. They started making a lot, a lot of money every month.

back it up. Yeah, he was a lot of fun to be around.

In 1985, Triano catches the eye of a local real estate agent named Pamela Phillips, who

was newly divorced from her first husband. Pam socializes with Gary at parties, thrown

by him and his wife, and they become friends.
