The Unraveling of Trevor Milton, Ep 2: “No Good Deed”
Trevor Milton had a knack for pitching people to invest in his ideas. He raised millions for his early business ventures by making big promises, often to inexperienced investors including friends and members of his church community. In this episode, we talk to some of these investors, who say they suffered life-changing financial losses as Trevor’s star continued to rise. Ben Foldy is the host of this season of Bad Bets.
