Episode Details

Picture a lawyer who looks every inch the Manhattan dealmaker—tailored suit, practiced smile, office on Park Avenue. Now imagine that behind those glass walls, a seven hundred million dollar fraud is quietly taking shape, one forged signature at a time.Marc Dreier didn’t start out as a criminal. In fact, he built a whole life on being the opposite—an attorney whose public image radiated credibility. But it wasn’t technical skill that set him apart. It was something more delicate: a fluency in how power presents itself. Dreier knew that in New York’s world of law and real estate, confidence could pass for authority. He understood how a polished office, an impressive title, and the right introductions could convince almost anyone that a deal was legitimate. And in those years before the financial crisis, that was all he needed.Aurelius and Malik take on this case in full — 5 chapters, 31 minutes, one complete story.Learn more at: https://thefraudarchive.com/fraud/marc-dreier
