概要
The Locked Building and the Badge That Shouldn't Be There

Imagine finding a name badge for a volunteer coordinator on the windowsill of a padlocked, bricked-over building in the woods, undisturbed despite recent rain. This discovery in Hardin County, Tennessee, would unravel one of the most methodically constructed frauds in the recent history of the nonprofit sector. How did that badge get there, and what secrets did the sealed building hold?

In this episode, we explore the origins of the Meridian Relief Corps, founded by Mark Doyle, who presented himself as an experienced disaster relief expert. We uncover how the organization initially filled a genuine need in communities affected by natural disasters, attracting dedicated volunteers like Roy Walker, before its true nature began to emerge.
