Hi, Blood Money fans, and welcome to this week's bonus content. Even though this was a historic case,

this is why I love covering red-collar crime stories like this, because I think it's a really

important case. These people don't change. They stay out there, and if they're ever released,

they're almost certainly going to

reoffend again. And I think this is one of the biggest misconceptions that the experts,

experts on red collar crime always talk about how when someone is convicted of a white collar

or a red collar crime, authorities say things like, oh, this was so out of character for them. They had this

great life. This was just an out of character thing. They're not a normal criminal. When in

reality, they have been like this all along. They just probably haven't gotten caught. They're no

different than ordinary criminals. They just hide things better and they're able to function in society and keep things

secrets from their victims longer. I want to bring this up in connection with the Ted Moore case

because you know when things seem too good to be true? And I don't want to sound like I'm being

totally cynical about humanity, but I was determined to figure out that origin

story. Supposedly, the story that I'd always heard was that the Safras and Ted Mahar were brought

together by this just twist of fate. And I started to wonder if it was really that fateful or if

Ted Mahar had done something to engineer it. So I was just determined to find the

origin story of that camera. If you remember the story that Ted Maher told was that he was working

on the neonatal unit and that a patient had left behind a camera and that rather than taking it to

lost and found, he took it upon himself to develop the film. He had no idea who the owners of the camera were, but when he, after he tracked them down,

he did this good deed and returned the camera to a woman named Laura Slacken and her family.

It was just all a big coincidence, according to the way he told the story.

But I just read his book
