Episode Details

We're going live to break down one of the most critical questions in the Nick Reiner case: How did he get out of a court-ordered mental health conservatorship overseen by a professional whose job is not to be fooled? Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke—who spent 21 years with the Bureau including serving as Chief of the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program—joins us to analyze the mechanics of manipulating institutional gatekeepers. Nick Reiner was placed under an LPS conservatorship in 2020, overseen by licensed fiduciary Steven Baer. 

Baer had the legal authority to force medication, make treatment decisions, even place Nick in a locked facility. That conservatorship wasn't renewed after one year. Robin spent his career recruiting spies—people trained to distrust everyone. He knows what it takes to build credibility with a skeptical professional, and he'll walk us through the playbook. How do you perform recovery convincingly enough to end oversight? What does strategic compliance look like leading up to a renewal hearing? Nick had been through 18 rehab programs—at what point does someone become too institutionally fluent to be accurately assessed? We'll also discuss Baer's statement to the New York Times: that mental illness "is an epidemic that is widely misunderstood and this is a horrible tragedy." Robin reads that for subtext. Is that a man who feels he did everything right—or a man who knows something went wrong? Join us live with your questions.
