Summary

Sorry about the bad audio in this episode - we’re aware of the issue and are actively working on a solution to improve it going forward.

In this episode, we unravel the shocking and long-running case of Cliff Lambert, a wealthy Palm Springs art dealer whose life ended after a seemingly harmless date turned deadly. What began as a fake inheritance scheme spiraled into a brutal murder involving a phony attorney, a conman posing as a prince, a disgraced real lawyer, and multiple accomplices. We trace the crime from December 2008 through years of fraud, cover-ups, judicial misconduct, overturned convictions, retrials, and finally, justice in 2025. This case exposes greed, manipulation, and how money - when used improperly - can destroy lives.
