On this episode of I Can Steal That, we cover our first pyramid scheme! LuLaRoe didn't just sell buttery soft leggings, they sold the dream of financial independence to thousands of women across the world. For a while, these dreams came true for several consultants that were suddenly making tens of thousands of dollars a month, but eventually the LuLaRoe bubble burst and left its consultants with broken dreams and empty bank accounts.This episode's guest is Tracey Carnazzo, the host of the fantastic 90 Day Fiance and Teen Mom Trash Talk podcasts, and is also the host of the new "Only In NY" podcast.Music by Paper Yellow Music

EP 17 - Cyber Art Heist

The hardest part of almost every heist is selling what you've stolen, but today we're going to discuss a crime that's half art heist, half cyber crime, and all brilliant, because the thief just skipped the whole "stealing the painting" bit and went straight to the money, leaving no trace and a messy legal battle behind. Pete's joined today by his friend and great comic out of Columbus Georgia, James Etchison. Music provided by Paper Yellow Music.

ICST EP 19 - Gerald Blanchard - the skydiving, star stealing crime savant

The only thing scarier than someone that spends months planning a jewel heist is somebody that can plan it in a day. Gerald Blanchard is one of those kinds of thieves. Not only did he pull of a movie quality heist on a whim, he led police down an insane rabbit hole of international bank heists and a shadowy crime syndicate that spanned continents. Pete is joined again in this episode by Patrick Loller, a NYC based comic and army veteran. EDITOR'S NOTE - For some reason I kept saying Gerald's name as Gerard for pretty much the entire episode. I have no idea why I did this - it was written correctly in my notes. Maybe it's my TBI, maybe it's because I've been binging Umbrella Academy, I don't know. That said, this episode was too fun to redo, so I'm leaving it as is, but I wanted to clarify that I had made this error. I'll be more careful in the future.If you'd like to support this podcast's patreon, please sign up atwww.patreon.com/icanstealthatMusic provided by Paper Yellow Music.
