THE SLIPPERY

The con artists think they're untouchable. The fraudsters believe their schemes are foolproof. The scammers assume they'll never be caught. They're all dead wrong.

Welcome to The Slippery, where the most audacious scammers, mind-bending scandals, and elaborate schemes meet their match. Hosted by Nancy Moscatiello and Scott Eldridge—the investigative duo behind the explosive hit "Scamanda" podcast and acclaimed documentary series—this true crime podcast takes you inside the twisted minds of master manipulators and the devastating aftermath they leave behind.

Every case gets the deep-dive treatment across two episodes that reveal every angle of deception:

THE SLIPPERY: Nancy and Scott dissect each case from first lie to final reckoning, with one host pitching why this story deserves the Hollywood treatment—documentary series, limited series, or feature film.

THE SLIPPERY DEBRIEF: Raw, unscripted conversations with special guests who lived these schemes firsthand—victims, investigators, journalists, and insiders sharing revelations that never made official reports.

From elaborate Ponzi schemes to fake cancer fundraisers, from romance scams to corporate fraud, The Slippery exposes the schemes that prove truth is more shocking than any fiction Hollywood could create.

Because when it comes to deception, everyone thinks they're too smart to fall for it. Until they do.

    EP 17 | The Savior of Helena: Ego, Greed and God

    For years, Dr. Thomas Weiner was a medical god in Helena, Montana. He was one of the busiest oncologists in the country, earning more than any peer or even the CEO at his hospital. He had a magnetic charm—nurses fought tooth and nail just to be assigned to his staff. Half the town still considers him a hero. They are wrong. In this episode of Slippery, we track the recent, catastrophic downfall of Dr. Weiner after his medical license was stripped. We unearth the horrifying case of a patient treated by Weiner for lung cancer for 11 agonizing years—only for an autopsy to reveal they never had cancer. They died from the toxic complications of the chemo itself. As investigators pulled the thread, the savior’s mask slipped to reveal a medical monster with a laundry list of questionable diagnosis'.

    EP 16 | DEBRIEF: Harry McDaniel: Man On The Run

    What is it like to sit across from one of the FBI’s most wanted men? In this gripping debrief, we talk with producer and writer Nancy Sexton, who traveled to an undisclosed location in France where she snagged an exclusive, face-to-face interview with the elusive fugitive, Harry McDaniel. Nancy pulls back the curtain on Harry’s high-wire act of survival, detailing a relentless rollercoaster journey of evading international law enforcement. But beyond the thrill of the chase lies a deeply human contradiction: a man desperately running from his past while simultaneously trying to settle down, blend into the European landscape, and establish deep family roots. Tune in for a fascinating psychological portrait of life on the lam, the logistics of global evasion, and the heavy toll of building a home on a foundation of secrets.

    EP 15 | Harry McDaniel: Man on the Run

    What’s a totally reasonable response to your business getting squeezed by the competition? If you’re Harry McDaniel, it’s apparently taking $1.7 million that technically doesn’t belong to you and fleeing the country. You know, a classic corporate pivot. Back in the 1990s, Harry co-owned a paper company. But when illegal business practices started tanking his operation and the government failed to play hero, Harry decided to take matters—and a massive pile of cash—into his own hands. Naturally, this sparked a wild, decades-long game of cat-and-mouse with the FBI. Harry’s grand strategy? Try to negotiate a return with the FBI while delivering details on illegal activity he was sseing while on the run in Europe. He even graciously turned himself in at one point, only to remember he hates consequences, escape before sentencing, and bolt right back to Europe—where he’s still kicking it today. His story reads like a new version of Catch Me If You Can. It's a story of survival, defiance, and a spectacular lack of accountability. Unsurprisingly, Scott and Nancy are totally divided on this one. Is Harry a victim of a broken system who beat the machine, or just a delusional criminal who got incredibly lucky?

    EP 14 | DEBRIEF: Andrew Luster: The Millionaire Monster

    In 2003, Andrew Luster—multimillionaire heir to the Max Factor cosmetics fortune—was convicted of 86 counts of rape, drug-facilitated sexual assault, and poisoning. After fleeing the country and sparking an international manhunt, he was sentenced to 124 years in prison. Now, he is scheduled to walk free nearly a century early. In this exclusive DEBRIEF episode, we sit down for a groundbreaking conversation with Shawna Morgan. As Luster’s second victim, Shawna has spent decades healing in private, having never given a podcast interview—until now. With California’s Proposition 57 opening the prison doors for Luster much sooner than anyone anticipated, Shawna breaks her silence. She opens up about the harrowing reality of the original trial, the structural loopholes allowing a predator’s early release, and what it’s like to live in fear as her attacker's freedom looms just on the horizon. This is a story of wealth, systemic failure, and the ultimate resilience of a survivor speaking out when the justice system won't. Follow / Subscribe: Never miss an episode of DEBRIEF.

    EP 13 | Andrew Luster: The Millionaire Monster

    He was the multi-millionaire heir to the Max Factor cosmetics empire, living a life of absolute privilege on the California coast. But behind closed doors, Andrew Luster was using his fortune to fund a horrifying hidden life as a serial predator—drugging, raping, and videotaping his victims. When the law finally caught up to him, Luster didn't just stand trial; he cut off his ankle monitor and vanished. What followed was a wild international FBI manhunt that ended with a chaotic, televised capture in Mexico by Dog the Bounty Hunter. Luster was handed a staggering 124-year prison sentence. Justice was served. Or so we thought. Now, thanks to a staggering legal loophole, this millionaire monster is on the verge of walking completely free—nearly a century early. In this episode of The Slippery, we break down the pedigree, the predator, and the terrifying systemic failure that's about to open his prison doors.
