Should have got someone else to narrate it
I couldn’t listen. After about the first 15 minutes, I realised that this piece was going to be one of those long drawn-out over-explained over-hyped pieces of hack journalism better targeted at an American audience.
I also cannot take seriously a narrator who cannot be bothered to pronounce the “th” sound, instead employing the “v” sound.
According to rules, I MUST give a star rating in order to post a review. This irks me.

Far too much padding!
The story was quite interesting to start with although as it turned out it was a huge anti climax at the end. Claiming a victory and vindication for an unfinished story putting us through 8 episodes of so much speculation about what might or could or should happen or go wrong or right in the investigation as well as the inevitable recap of previous episodes and lengthy explanation about what was coming up in the next episode I felt the whole saga should of been edited down to just a couple of episodes. We learnt about 10 minutes worth of new stuff in each waffling episode. It was a bit of an endurance listening through to the end and it just didn’t justify it, yet if it had been more succinct I know I would have enjoyed it instead of continuously shouting at him to “get on with the story!”

Really liked it
I found it very interesting and although some comments have said they didn't like the narrator but I thought he was good.

i found this very interesting.
but the meat of the topic is buried under layers of hype, mispronunciation and production. the narrator loves to talk about himself.
spoiler alert -
predictably, they don't catch the villain.

Interesting story and details.....
... Marred by the ego of the apparently experienced investigative journalist. A great investigation, but its effectiveness as a podcast diminished by the need for the narrator to big himself up and fail to give full credit and time to those doing so much of the hard work.

What a waste of time!
The investigator is unbearable, he's constantly anxious and tells us what he's feeling. He tells us how difficult the investigation is multiple times an episode. The whole thing could have been told it 90 minutes but it's dragged out. We get constant background conversations with producers it's incredibly boring.

Very well put-together and intriguing
I had never heard of this scam before and don’t know how much of all this is true, but I couldn’t wait to get to the end!
Quick insider question though: what’s happened to Rusty?

Bingeable!
Loved this podcast and binged it in 3 blocks of listening. Really interesting story, with all the potentially difficult/confusing bits explained and clarified in am entertaining way. Superb narration - looking forward to listening to more of Janhoi’s stuff.
