Celisia Stanton: 我想分享我被财务欺诈的经历,这让我对金融犯罪有了深刻的理解。我通过母亲认识了一位理财顾问,他很热情,并声称致力于帮助传统上被排除在金融体系之外的人。起初一切都很顺利,但后来我开始怀疑他,因为他沟通不畅,并且投资账户上的数字似乎是伪造的。最终他发短信告诉我他自首了。我联系了调查人员,并提供了相关证据,但整个过程缺乏有效的受害者援助。我的理财顾问被判刑,但整个过程漫长而令人沮丧,而且我最终获得的赔偿很少。这次经历让我意识到任何人都可能成为这类犯罪的受害者,并且美国的刑事司法系统并不总是能带来正义感。乔治·弗洛伊德事件后,我开始在社交媒体上关注种族和社会正义问题,这与我被诈骗的经历交织在一起,让我对刑事司法系统有了更复杂的看法。我开始制作播客《Truer Crime》,旨在以更细致入微的方式讲述真实犯罪故事,并关注受害者及其经历。分享我的故事在听众中引起了共鸣,许多人分享了他们自己类似的经历,这让我意识到财务犯罪对人们的影响是多么深远。我的播客《Truer Crime》与Tenderfoot TV合作,这让我能够制作出更高质量的节目,并讲述更多需要关注的故事。《Truer Crime》第二季的第一集讲述了马丁·路德·金遇刺案鲜为人知的故事,揭示了金家对官方说法一直以来的质疑。
Tiffany Reese: 作为Something Was Wrong播客的主持人,我很荣幸能邀请Celisia Stanton来分享她的故事。她的经历与我们节目讨论的诈骗、欺诈和犯罪主题非常契合,也为听众提供了一个了解财务欺诈真实面貌的机会。
