Trust me, do you trust me?

Trust me, I'm like a smart person. I've never lied to you. I've never had lied.

If you think that one person has all the answers, don't!

Welcome to TrustMe, the podcast about cults, extreme belief, and the abuse of power from two hometown girls who've actually experienced it, I am low-blank.

And I'm Megan Elizabeth.

And today's part two of our interview with Jillian Lauren, for a member of the harem of the Prince of Brunei and author of Some Girls, My Life in a Harem, as well as her new book Behold The Monster.

Today she's gonna tell us about what led her to go back to Brunei after she left the first time, smuggling money out of the country and her meeting with the Sultan.

She'll also talk about what it was like falling in love with the man who had complete control over her life.

And just to tell you a little bit more about her new book, it details her story of how she got to know the most prolific serial killer in American history.

That's right. She's led a fascinating life. We get into some more stuff today.

It'd be weird if we didn't get into some more stuff. It'd be weird if we just said the exact same things as the week before. That's not what we're doing.

Megan kindly tell me Coltie's thing this week.

Okay, so I was trying to do a deeper dive into my previous Coltier thing, but then what just popped up.

And I think this is possibly breaking news.

The self-proclaimed crocodile of Wall Street and her husband are arrested for laundering 4.5 billion in Bitcoin.

How do you launder? Okay, what? I don't know anything about this.

So how do you launder Bitcoin? It says they did it in a stolen 2016 bitthinics exchange hack.

You guys, this is all just from the headline.

Okay, this goes against everything that tech bros always say, which is that like, oh, Bitcoin is like virtually unhackable.

You can't steal it because it's all in the blockchains.
