Eli Weinstein defrauded investors of $275 million across three separate Ponzi schemes spanning two decades. He went to federal prison. He received presidential clemency. Within months, he was running another scheme.

This episode goes deep inside the mechanics of serial financial fraud—how these criminals build trust, move money, hide assets, and exploit the very systems designed to stop them. From Weinstein's origins as a used car salesman in New Jersey to his prosecution in 2025, this is a case study in how Ponzi schemes actually work—and why the same people keep getting away with it.
