EP. 234.5 — Fraud Friday: The Flexing Fraudster w/ Trixie Mattel

What’s up, con-gregation? This week we revisit our episode when Trixie Mattel scammed her way onto the podcast to discuss a man scammin’ on the gram. We’re all for a flex but it’s harder to flex from prison. Plus, Laci and Trixie talk about the hero using government contracts to scam the government. Stay schemin’, but maybe don’t post about it!

 

NOTE: @hushpuppi, aka Ramon Olorunwa Abbas featured in this historic hoodwink, is no longer available on Instagram. You will find many photos of hushpuppi if placed in the search.
