Listeners will discover how far people will go for money in the American Greed Podcast. Each episode of this CNBC true crime podcast examines a different case. But what they all have in common is the insatiable desire to make money. From cash scams to more sinister stories, these are the shocking tales of people driven by greed. This is the audio version of the American Greed TV show.

Legendary actor Stacy Keach voices the American Greed Podcast. He adds depth and drama to each story told. Keach has many talents—actor, theater star, director, pianist, and composer. He's most known for playing the detective Mike Hammer and performing King Lear on stage.

Jordan Belfort, convicted stockbroker, became even more famous thanks to Hollywood. He's known to most as "The Wolf of Wall Street." Yet, his victims felt targeted again when the film of the same name debuted in 2013. The star of the film was, to them, a financial serial killer. Keach presents the true story of this scheming personality. American Greed Podcast listeners will hear all the details. From financial infidelity to raucous parties fueled by drugs and sex, this case has it all.

Another podcast episode is about a "Stolen Valor Scam." It tells the scandalous tale of Captain Darryl Wright. This man became known as the Purple Heart Fraudster. He collected government money under the guise of military heroics. Keach relays the undercover investigation that revealed the truth about his story. By falsifying documents, Wright created an image of himself as a wounded and heroic war veteran to make money.

Throughout the American Greed Podcast, what's fascinating is how each con artist tricks everyone around them. They present new characters for themselves that are charming and well respected. These include a Buddhist monk in "The Busted Mogul" and an entrepreneur in "Theranos CEO on Trial." As each story unfolds, listeners will hear from the victims of these scams. And sometimes, they hear from the scammers themselves as well. This podcast also has exclusive interviews that expand on the TV show's content.
