Ep. 149: Sophisticated Crime, Worm Lizards, and Nick Castellanos

You've heard the guys talk about 'con-artists' and 'clever criminals' before, but do some ne'er-do-wells take their exploits to a new, 'sophisticated', level? On the latest episode of 4Thirty, Ben and Pat skirt the law as they perpetrate yet another discussion centered on the world of crime, this time targeting 'sophisticated' criminals operating way ahead of their time. The guys also break down their latest dose of news headlines this week, while also sharing a few stories and making some wildly inaccurate NFL predictions in the process. Was an IBM copy machine reconfigured into one of the most sophisticated amateur bombs ever created? Did a 'cryptobro' swindle away billions from the rich and famous? Is Ancient Egypt the scene of the crime for the greatest grave robberies in human history? Did the infamous Sandworms of the 'Dune' novels once actually crawl our planet? For answers to these questions and many more, please give our latest episode of 4Thirty in the Morning a listen!
