Summary

What would you do for money? For white collar criminals, the answer seems to be, almost anything. But even though they launder millions of dollars, steal someone’s identity or even cause entire financial systems to crumble, we don’t associate them with murder. Neither does the FBI: They specifically classify white collar crimes as those that involve fraud - but NOT violence. But experts have identified a subgroup of white collar criminals - the ones who kill when their deception is uncovered. These are the red collar cases. In this weekly series, Catherine Townsend, writer, licensed PI and host of the hit true crime podcasts Hell and Gone will do a deep dive into these cases of con artists who kill. These are not just high powered executives in business suits- these psychopaths are everywhere - they are our co-workers, our friends - our lovers and even our children. Subscribe to Blood Money and join Catherine as she follows the blood money.
