Wolf of Wall Street

The wolf of wall street movie portrayed crooked financial traders in a way that you either loved them or hated them. My guest today was in the thick of those characters in real life.  He stole millions to finance a luxurious lifestyle that lasted many years. This man had it all, but he lived with a guilt that led him to give it all away before he was arrested and imprisoned. The private jets, lamborghinis, priceless art and luxury homes were replaced with a prison cell. A White collar criminal is often depicted as different from the common drug dealer or thief but they all have one thing in common, a criminal  record.Support the show Hosted on Acast.

Om Podcasten

Award Winning Second Chance is a podcast series that explores the theme of second chance. It raises the questions who deserves a second chance, who decides who gets a second chance and what a second chance actually means. On this podcast we speak to people from all walks of life about their experiences, some who have been given a second chance in life, some who might be considered to be beyond deserving a second chance. The host of the podcast series is Raphael Rowe, host of the critically acclaimed series ‘Inside the World's Toughest Prisons’ on Netflix. He is also a former correspondent for the world's longest running BBC TV current affairs show Panorama the BBC Radio 4 Today programme as well as a regular contributor on The One Show and Sunday Morning Live on BBC One. In 1988, aged 20, he was sentenced to life imprisonment for a murder and robbery he did not commit. In July 2000, after 12 years in prison, the Court of Appeal quashed his wrongful convictions and he was freed. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
