    In Episode 5 of The FraudQast, Agent Custer begins his deep dive into contacting Dawn’s investment clients, many of whom cannot believe that they’ve been getting duped. As many of them try to pull their many, Dawn begins a frantic panic and tries to avoid contact with them at all costs, because she doesn’t actually have any of their money available to retrieve for them, since she’s spent it all on her own lifestyle purchases as well as to pay back other investors and debtors. As her business falls apart and her scheme unravels, she doubles down on mystical spiritual defenses to ‘protect’ her from investigators.

    In Episode 4 of The FraudQast, we start to piece together the story of how expansive Dawn’s scheme over the years has been through the affidavit written by FBI Special Agent Custer, who was tasked with investigating Bennett after multiple complaints reached FINRA and the SEC. The extent of her fraud went beyond simply exaggerating the types of returns she could offer, but actually went as far as falsifying financial documents, to outright lying about how she was using investor funds. With the pressure of authorities and investigations weighing on Dawn, she turns to abstract and mystical practices in an attempt to use spiritual means to save her from being caught.

    In Episode 3 of The FraudQast, Dawn’s bold new business strategy, with questionable ethics and blurred lines of legality, advising investment clients that they should invest in her own private online lifestyle brand, starts to take shape. After many months of showcasing her professional financial acumen via her radio show, new clients start rolling in, covering the debt she’s been accumulating. Although she presents great optimism over her new business “opportunity”, the legitimacy of the business puts into question whether Dawn had intentions of actually adding value to any of her clients at all, especially as she neglects the downfall of her financial advising business.

    In Episode 2 of The FraudQast, listeners go inside the mind and lifestyle of Dawn Bennett, who found herself constantly needing to con innocent investors into giving her their money to “invest” by touting her reputation as a top financial advisor, in order to keep up the appearance of her lavish lifestyle. She continued this charade even when she didn’t have the money to do so, and refused to sacrifice her public brand appearance at all costs, even if it meant losing all of her client’s money in the process. It goes to show how sometimes people who are the most trusted can deceive, and why professional skepticism is always important.
