b'I read a book once about the inner workings of Wall Street. I don\\u2019t really like to talk about it\\u2014I still get a little nauseous when I think about it. Yechh. One of the most memorable bits, though, was an interview with an investment banker who said, with a total lack of irony, \\u201cWhat good does it do me to make ten million if the guy down the hall is making twenty?\\u201d When the author said, \\u201cWell\\u2026okay, but when is it enough?\\u201d the guy looked at him like he\\u2019d just grown a second head. \\u201cEnough? It\\u2019s never enough.\\u201d That right there, campers, is the engine that drives some of the worst stuff in the world. And there\\u2019s no shortage of assholes in the clown car\\u2014some of whom are more than willing to resort to fraud to get there. Join us for the story of Dawn Bennett, a woman who rose to fame as one of the "best" financial advisors in the country, then crashed and burned spectacularly, despite her efforts to put curses on the SEC agents coming after her for fraud. Yeah, you read that right: Curses.
