OM DENNE EPISODE

Why are we so obsessed with getting scammed and defrauded? Elizabeth Holmes is getting an A24 movie, Anna Delvey got a Netflix show, and fake celebrities have made headlines for swindling and being swindled.


On this week’s episode of Let’s Circle Back, Hebe and Valentina explore why fraudsters keep becoming pop culture relevant and what our obsession with them says about us. From reality TV and true crime to influencer courses and the modern grift economy, they circle back to one question: why does America reward grifting?
