Journalist Trevor Aaronson investigates the stranger-than-fiction tale of what happens when a check-kiting informant, an FBI undercover agent, and a group of Las Vegas businesspeople all pretend to be something they're not – money launderers. Aaronson digs into the case and more than 20 hours of FBI recordings, taking listeners into a sordid, neon-lit world of diet clinics, fitness models, high-end restaurants, strip clubs, lascivious men, arms dealers, secret scams, and lawsuits. How do you separate the good guys from the bad when no one is who they appear to be?
