RATING
I liked this podcast, the story was well told and easy to follow. This podcast showed how truly corrupt this world can be and how easy it is to win people over with manipulation
Spoilery review! The story is fascinating but the podcast leaves much to be desired. I'm sorry to say I don't think very highly of the investigative reporter's skills. Spoilers below: There are many elements completely glossed over and left totally unexplored, such as the fact that she met her husband first as the 17 year old babysitter and what might have precipitated his sudden departure from his wife and home, or what exactly she may have been doing with her time while she was pretending to be getting treatment, or what she did with the money. I also think the podcast and listeners would have benefitted greatly from having some guests on to discuss, such as an oncologist who could speak to just how ridiculous her claims were, and a psychologist who could speak to the damage caused by that kind of long term deception. They didn't even attempt an educated guess as to the cash and other donations that weren't part of the wire fraud case. And it sounds like stepdaughter Jessa was being possibly abused, and possibly even that the custody case was to get her as a full time caretaker for Amanda's children, but that wasn't even broached as a topic. They never even ask what Amanda was actually doing in all of that time, or where the money actually went. If she was in what looked like a large church, SURELY there were some medical professionals there who could tell her constant remissions from stage 4 cancer were total nonsense. I find it difficult to believe that there were no skeptics there, and if the reporter couldn't find any, then see my above statement about this reporter's investigative skills. The storytelling is sloppy, and the timeline is incredibly muddied. And the very premise of the reporter being sent a tip by a whistleblower is never addressed clearly -- I assumed for a bit that it was Aletta, but then they said it wasn't her, but never brought up the identity of the whistleblower again. Even a comment at the end saying that the original whistleblower never revealed themself or something would have been helpful. I saw someone say that the podcast fundamentally doesn't understand its listeners -- no one is hooked and listening to find out the legal outcome, anybody can google that she was sentenced -- we want to know how and why she did it! Ultimately interesting but unsatisfying, and the reporting is anything from mildly incompetent to irresponsible. I think in the hands of better producers it could have been very good, but as it is the best parts of it are the actual story itself and the voice actress who read Amanda's posts.
Can those who have fallen victim to fraud get their money back? Yes, you might be able to get back what was taken from you if you fell prey to a fraud from an unregulated investing platform or any other scam, but only if you report it to the relevant authorities. With the right plan and supporting documentation, you can get back what you’ve lost. Most likely, the individuals in control of these unregulated platforms would attempt to convince you that what happened to your money was a sad accident when, in fact, it was a highly skilled heist. You should be aware that there are resources out there to help you if you or someone you know has experienced one of these circumstances. Do a search using (zattrecoverypro1 AT Gmail com). Do not let the perpetrators of this hoaxes get away with ruining you mentally and financially.
I’m posting this positive feedback about iCare Recovery Hacker company, the most credible and trusted cyber security and cryptocurrency recovery company. I was lucky enough to have benefited from their service when I lost my cryptocurrency ( USDT & Btc to be precise) I was able to contact iCare Recovery Hacker company through their website and submit all the information about my lost cryptocurrency, iCare Recovery Hacker did their investigation with proper professional assistance and transparency, iCare Recovery Hacker company was able to recover my cryptocurrency within 72 hours of my request. I’m amazed by their service and I’m hugely grateful for their help in recovering my cryptocurrency. I recommend their services to everyone in need of a cryptocurrency recovery team.

A story which is alas becoming very familiar in this day and age, but still very well told, with some good interviews with people who knew Amanda.
blown away by this one
Great coverage of this story. This story is wild and I can't believe it went on for so long.
story itself quite interesting, but the podcast had no suspense at all
I invested 165k to an online brokerage company, which I got stuck having challenges of making withdrawal of my investment profit , all access to withdraw was denied until I got to know about a recovery specialist called Gavin ray I sent him all he needed to place a Recovery of my withheld funds and I got a call by the bank confirming the payment on my bank, kindly get in touch with Gavin on mail: gavinray78 gmail com, if your investment funds is been withhold online.
Concern has grown about the dubious means by which unregistered forex brokers and websites for cryptocurrency trading steal money from investors. A few weeks ago, when I went to withdraw my funds from the site, I was charged almost $75,000 by a well-known forex broker. The good news is that a few days later I came across multiple articles on retrieving digital and crypto assets in which Dave, the best recovery specialist, was repeatedly mentioned, so I contacted him. Within three days following my initial communication, he withdrew the entirety of my funds, leaving nothing behind. If your bitcoin disappears, there are incomplete crypto transactions, catfish scams, advance fee scams, etc., he is certainly the best and most trustworthy recovery professional to contact. Contact him at hackerrone90 at gmail com if you need extraordinary assistance.
The criminal actions of Amanda are not ordinary, but the remarkable aspect is her downfall and legal implications of her actions. However, I thought this podcast producers didn’t take the extra length of contacting individuals instead of the host saying Amanda did this and her husband did that. It was monotonous at times because in many settings, the host repeated herself multiple times. It would have been better if a) shortened the episode numbers with the same format of host only OR 2) Interviewing more individuals especially from Amanda’s side with the same number of episodes or more.
If you like listening to endless loops of fake typing over narration, this is the podcast for you!
