Extra! Extra! S4E7 -- ”Cask investment con artists MUST be stopped!”

Joshua and Jason follow up on a story that broke in June of 2022 but is back in the spotlight again as the person this story focuses on, Casey Alexander, a predatory "Cask Investment" con artist, will be sentenced on July 11th to the tune of 20 years in prison and a pretty big fine.

This is just your friendly reminder to not fall for any cask investment schemes. If anything sounds too good to be true it's because it's just that!

As usual, have a seat, have a pour, and listen in. Unless you're driving. If you're driving, be smart and stay sober but be sure to listen into the conversation!
