The Bailiwick of Jersey, the British Crown Dependency in the Channel Islands, has long been a tax haven for corporations, criminals, royals, and rich people who don’t like to pay their fair share. It’s also one of the most corrupt places in the Western world. Greg Olear talks with investigative journalist Leah McGrath Goodman—author of the recent article “The Heiress, the Queen, and the Trillion Dollar Island” and the EP of the BBC documentary “Dark Secrets of a Trillion Dollar Island: Garenne”—about her years of reporting on the island, as well as Bitcoin’s founder, 2020’s oil market chicanery, Goodman’s new Arianna Huffington biography, and NYC umbrellas. Plus: A word from our sponsor, the Bank of the Badda Bing.
