The Retirement Circle: How a Small Town Lost $1.4M to One Woman

Fear that a neighbor you trusted quietly emptied your nest egg - 31 members, $1.4 million passed through a scheme promising 6.2% returns, and a soggy banker’s box on a back step that started the unravelling; who was Peggy Lawson really and how did she keep her town convinced for nine years?

In this episode, we tell what was found in the cardboard box on Birchfield Street and how the Varden Retirement Circle operated, showing the documents, the quarterly statements, and the moment a withdrawal request triggered an investigation; can the damp papers answer how funds moved between members?
