ABOUT THE SHOW

The FraudQast, by FloQast Studios, is a true financial crime podcast, that takes on the form of a narrative “audio-movie” in the way it tells a story through assorted voice actor characters and sound design. The first season is 6 episodes long, and takes listeners through the fascinating and bizarre career journey of Dawn J. Bennett, who was an American financial advisor that turned into a fraud criminal at the highest of levels, and used uncanny methods to preserve her brand image and keep her clients money in her possession. The story teaches listeners about how fraud like this is committed, and is a lesson in ethics, due-diligence, and professional skepticism best practices.

The FraudQast is a FloQast Studios production, produced on behalf of FloQast inc. and FloQademy.
