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.

  • Lernout & Hauspie: The Speech Tech Fraud That Fooled Bill Gates

    Lernout & Hauspie: The Speech Tech Fraud That Fooled Bill Gates
    2026/09/03
    Imagine a company so ahead of its time, even Bill Gates wanted in. That’s the promise Lernout & Hauspie sold—a world where machines spoke fluently and investors listened with open wallets. But behind the futuristic vision, something much older was quietly taking shape.In the mid-nineteen nineties, speech recognition was the next big thing. Computers were learning to listen. Investors were drawn to promises that sounded like science fiction. And in Belgium, two founders—Jo Lernout, the charismatic sales mind, and Pol Hauspie, the technical genius—launched a company that felt like the future made real. Lernout & Hauspie was born from genuine ambition. It had real engineers, real products, and a market hungry for anything that hinted at tomorrow. The early years were filled with excitement. Investors believed they’d found Europe’s answer to Silicon Valley. But here’s the catch: the conditions that made Lernout & Hauspie look unstoppable were also the perfect hiding place for fraud. Cross-border business, complicated licensing, and subsidiaries in far-off countries made it hard for outsiders to know what was real. As the company’s reputation grew, so did the pressure to keep delivering.Aurelius and Malik take on this case in full — 5 chapters, 32 minutes, one complete story.Learn more at: https://thefraudarchive.com/fraud/lernout-and-hauspie

  • Allen Stanford's Cricket Con: Sports as a Fraud Vehicle

    Allen Stanford's Cricket Con: Sports as a Fraud Vehicle
    2026/09/02
    Allen Stanford did not start as a cricket savior. He started as a man who understood that status can hide almost anything. By the time he built his offshore empire, he had learned the most useful lesson in fraud. The best disguise is not secrecy. It is prestige.And in Antigua, he found a place where wealth, influence, and weak oversight could be made to look like success. Antigua and Barbuda was the perfect stage. It was small, dependent on foreign money, and open to the language of international finance. Stanford Financial Group planted itself there and dressed itself in the symbols of legitimacy. Polished offices. Foreign guests. Private aviation. Security.Aurelius and Malik take on this case in full — 5 chapters, 31 minutes, one complete story.Learn more at: https://thefraudarchive.com/fraud/allen-stanford-cricket

    Pig Butchering: The Crypto-Romance Fraud That Starts With Hello
    2026/09/01
    It starts with what looks like a simple hello—a stranger's text, a wrong number, an accidental message. But hidden behind that greeting is a machine, ready to turn loneliness into profit and affection into extraction.In the borderlands of Southeast Asia, a new kind of factory has emerged. Not one making goods, but one manufacturing deception. Here, criminal syndicates discovered a perfect storm: digital payments that move across borders, messaging apps that let anyone reach anyone, and governments slow to catch up.Aurelius and Malik take on this case in full — 5 chapters, 32 minutes, one complete story.Learn more at: https://thefraudarchive.com/fraud/pig-butchering-scams
