概要
Locked Drawers, Broken Promises: Inside the Commons at Dray Hollow

A solitary gunmetal filing cabinet sat in the middle of Fenwick Road on November 4, 2014 - top drawer open, three drawers locked - and those locked drawers would later become federal evidence in a case about ten people who handed over savings to one man. What was hidden in those drawers, and why was the cabinet abandoned in the road, points to a larger question about trust, forged documents, and a dissolved promise of shared ownership.

In this episode, we tell the sequence of events that brought ten residents to a co-housing project on Fenwick Road, the documents and claims that convinced them to invest, and the discoveries that undermined those claims - culminating in the photograph of the cabinet and the legal records it would touch. How did a brochure, a measured leader, and a forged attorney letter lead ten people to give thousands and move to a field in central Ohio?
