This week, Laci welcomes Kyle Gordon (The Simpsons, Kyle Gordon Is Great) to giggle over Matthew Piercey, who ran a $35 million Ponzi scheme, then fled the FBI on an underwater scooter. When he surfaced, agents were waiting for him with dry clothes his wife had provided. Plus, in Scammer of the Week, a California man was charged with multiple counts of second-degree burglary and grand theft after being accused of stealing nearly $25,000 worth of Legos. Stay schemin’!
