Aaronson digs into the case and more than 20 hours of FBI recordings, taking listeners into a sordid, neon-lit world of diet clinics, fitness models, high-end restaurants, strip clubs, lascivious men, arms dealers, secret scams, and lawsuits. How do you separate the good guys from the bad when no one is who they appear to be?
