The Fraud Archive Dialogues is part of The Archive Network, a collection of podcasts dedicated to the stories that shaped our world.


Every episode is a conversation. Aurelius and Malik, curators of The Fraud Archive, take a single case, a Ponzi scheme, an accounting fraud, a crypto collapse, a con that fooled investors, auditors and entire nations, and work through it together from beginning to end. One traces how the scheme was built: the mechanics, the numbers, the machinery of belief that kept it standing. The other presses on what that account leaves out, who actually lost, why intelligent people believed, what the regulators missed, and what the whole affair says about the systems that allowed it.


From Charles Ponzi and Bernie Madoff to Enron, Theranos, Wirecard and FTX, these are not summaries. Each episode is one complete story, examined from both sides in a single sitting.


The Archive Network is an independent project. Every archive, podcast and documentary is free, no ads, no paywalls. If it's been worth

  • Mining Max: The Korean Crypto Mining Ponzi

    Mining Max: The Korean Crypto Mining Ponzi
    Oct 16 2026
    Imagine sitting in a crowded room, staring at a screen full of charts promising riches from machines you will never see. You hand over your money, trusting the story more than the technology. What if that trust was the real product all along?In twenty seventeen, South Korea was swept up in a new kind of gold rush. Cryptocurrency wasn’t just a buzzword—it was a feeling, a promise of something faster, bigger, and more secure than anything that had come before. Mining Max arrived in this charged moment, selling contracts for crypto mining that could turn ordinary people into digital tycoons without ever touching a piece of hardware. The pitch was simple: put your faith in us, and we’ll do the heavy lifting. For many, the idea of cloud mining sounded like a bridge into the future. You didn’t need to understand the machines—just trust that someone else had bought them, housed them, and would send you your share of the digital bounty. But trust, not technology, was the most valuable thing Mining Max was selling.Aurelius and Malik take on this case in full — 5 chapters, 33 minutes, one complete story.Learn more at: https://thefraudarchive.com/fraud/mining-max

  • LIBOR Rigging: When Banks Fixed the World's Most Important Number

    LIBOR Rigging: When Banks Fixed the World's Most Important Number
    Oct 15 2026
    Picture the world’s most important number—one that sets the price of your mortgage, a city’s debt, a bank’s survival. Now imagine if that number could be gently nudged, not by markets, but by the people with the most to gain.LIBOR was supposed to be a beacon of objectivity in a landscape built on risk. But beneath the surface, it was built on trust—an honor system that assumed profit and integrity could share the same desk. That trust was about to be tested in ways almost no one saw coming. To understand how the world’s financial plumbing could be so vulnerable, you have to step into London’s money markets in the early two thousands. LIBOR—the London Interbank Offered Rate—wasn’t just a technical term. It was the daily snapshot of what it cost major banks to borrow from each other. Not a number pulled from completed trades, but an estimate. A best guess, submitted by trusted banks, assembled into a figure that would ripple across continents. Trillions of dollars in loans, mortgages, and derivatives lived or died by that figure. The sheer scale was staggering. A shift of a few thousandths of a percentage point could mean millions, even billions, changing hands—often without the public ever noticing.Aurelius and Malik take on this case in full — 5 chapters, 31 minutes, one complete story.Learn more at: https://thefraudarchive.com/fraud/libor-manipulation

  • Lancer Management: The Hedge Fund That Valued Its Own Stocks

    Lancer Management: The Hedge Fund That Valued Its Own Stocks
    Oct 14 2026
    You can make a fortune in the cracks of the market—if you know where the light doesn’t reach. In the late nineteen nineties, Michael Lauer found those dark corners, and he learned how to turn them into gold on paper. But what happens when the numbers you print are the only numbers that matter?Before Lancer Management became a name whispered in courtrooms and cautionary tales, Michael Lauer was just another hedge fund manager with a sharp eye and an appetite for obscurity. Back then, the world of hedge funds was expanding fast. Rules were loose, investors were eager, and the market’s forgotten stocks—the micro-caps, the illiquid names—offered a playground for anyone willing to blur the line between skill and sleight of hand. Lauer wasn’t born a fraudster, at least not by the facts in the public record. He was a man who saw how much freedom existed where prices were hardest to pin down. And in those days, that freedom was real. Investors wanted returns more than they wanted transparency. If you could tell a convincing story and print a convincing number, you could raise a lot of money—even if the foundations were already tilting.Aurelius and Malik take on this case in full — 5 chapters, 32 minutes, one complete story.Learn more at: https://thefraudarchive.com/fraud/michael-lauer
