Summary

"Most people feel bad for what they did, and they'll tell you. So those were easier. Financial crimes, money crimes, scams, the stuff we're seeing now, online, those are really hard to get people to confess to." -Evy Poumpouras Step into the chilling world of criminal psychology with former Secret Service agent Evy Poumpouras as she shatters misconceptions about society's most feared individuals. Drawing from her extensive experience interviewing criminals, Evy reveals that serial killers and violent offenders are not the larger-than-life monsters often portrayed in media. Instead, she paints a startling picture of damaged individuals who target the vulnerable – children, women, and the elderly – exposing their true nature as cowards rather than apex predators. Evy's insights extend beyond violent crimes to the increasingly prevalent world of financial scams. She uncovers the disturbing ease with which perpetrators justify their actions, especially in online fraud cases where the lack of physical contact numbs their conscience. Evy's compassionate approach shines through as she recounts heart-wrenching stories of elderly victims, emphasizing the devastating impact of these crimes on the most vulnerable members of society. Her unique perspective offers listeners a rare glimpse into the criminal mind, providing valuable awareness and protection strategies in an increasingly complex world.
