Summary

Hosts discuss a previous episode's cheating controversy before launching into a game where they guess federal prison sentences for three fraud cases. They analyze an insurance claims processor who embezzled nearly $1 million, an art broker who ran a $6.5 million Ponzi scheme, and a 73-year-old accountant who fled as a fugitive after stealing $560,000. The hosts debate sentencing guidelines, restitution, and the impact of criminal history on each verdict.
