The Grifts of Mair: Was it Smyth, Andele, Ellis, O'Leary, Clark, Clerigh?

Homegrown Horror

There I was, minding my own business, cooking up the latest episode of the pod when B strumpets in with a barrel of juicy little financial crimes. And I chomped down on that sucker and didn't let go, they had to call in the jaws of life so that B could help Cohost this episode. We are talking about the grifts of Marianne Andele, aka Smyth and many other names. We got big grifts, small grifts, grifts that didn't net any money, this person just can't stop grifting, they're a walking grift machine. So give us a listen and strap yourselves in because you're about to witness a train wreck!
