Melissa Caddick was a ballsy and callous Ponzi schemer who carried out a A$23 million fraud on her clients, many of whom were family and friends. Caddick and her husband, Anthony Koletti spent the ill-gotten money on trips abroad and all the standard trappings of wealth. Before her fraud was found out, Caddick went missing and her severed foot showed up on a Sydney beach. She has not been found and has since been pronounced dead. The podcast tells the story of Caddick's start in finance and the moves she made to get into the fraud game. Many have commented on the somewhat jarring delivery of the hosts, who are both well-recognised Australian journalists.
