Hello, and welcome to the Joe Lowe episode of Slate Money Criminals.

I'm Felix Salmon of Axios.

I'm here with Elizabeth Spires of the New York Times

and elsewhere. Hello. And we are joined from Singapore by Tom Wright. Welcome, Tom. Thanks for

having me. Tom, who are you? And what brings you on this show? Well, I am a journalist. I was going to say retired journalist, but you're always a journalist.

I'm the co-author of a book, Billion Dollar Whale, about Jolo and one of the biggest frauds in history.

And I'm the co-founder of Project Brazen, which is a podcast company.

We make podcasts based on thrilling true stories.

We are going to talk about Jolo in this episode.

It's not easy to steal $6 billion, but he managed to do it.

We're going to talk about how he managed to do it,

whether it was a Ponzi scheme, who the victims were,

who his accomplices were, and where it all

stands today, that's all coming up on Slate Money, Criminals.

My name is Caden Sinclair.

Some people call us American royalty.

We were liars. A new series us American royalty. We were liars.

A new series on Prime Video.

We were happy.

We wanted for nothing.

Based on the best-selling novel.

Something terrible happened last summer, and I have no memory of what or who hurt me.
