#819 - Sam Cooper & Marc Cohodes

Sam Cooper is an award-winning Canadian investigative journalist and best-selling author, recognized for his in-depth reporting on money laundering, organized crime, and foreign interference in Canada. He gained prominence for breaking the British Columbia casino money laundering story in 2017 while at the Vancouver Sun and later expanded his work at Global News. His book, Wilful Blindness: How a Network of Narcos, Tycoons and CCP Agents Infiltrated the West, alleges that Canadian officials ignored a sophisticated criminal network tied to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), impacting real estate, casinos, and the fentanyl crisis. Marc Cohodes is a prominent American short-seller and investor, widely recognized for his ability to uncover corporate fraud and financial misconduct. With a career spanning decades, he gained fame as a general partner at Rocker Partners (later Copper River Management) from 1985 to 2009, where he exposed major frauds like Lernout & Hauspie and NovaStar Financial—the latter becoming a Harvard Business School case study. Known for his tenacious and outspoken style, Cohodes has targeted companies across industries, including biotech (e.g., MiMedx) and crypto (e.g., FTX), often predicting collapses before they occur.Cornerstone Forum ‘25https://www.showpass.com/cornerstone25/Get your voice heard: Text Shaun 587-217-8500Substack:https://open.substack.com/pub/shaunnewmanpodcastSilver Gold Bull Links:Website: https://silvergoldbull.ca/Email: [email protected] Grahame: (587) 441-9100Bow Valley Credit UnionWebsite: www.BowValleycu.comEmail: [email protected] Use the code “SNP” on all ordersProphet River Links:Website: store.prophetriver.com/Email: [email protected]
