He sold top business minds on a TV show that promised to save the world – and make them famous. They handed over thousands. Then reality set in.
The TV show turned out to be a fraud, an elaborate hoax that turned out to be worse than a hoax. The fraudsters, who became the show’s most reviled stars, had already ruined lives, both personal and professional, and millions of dollars.
