The Big Conn: The Official Podcast

141

If you’re from eastern Kentucky, you know the name Eric C. Conn—a lawyer better known as “Mr. Social Security,” he had miles of bright yellow billboards, TV commercials, and a larger-than-life personality. While winning millions in social security benefits for clients, Conn cruised around one of the nation’s poorest counties in a Rolls-Royce, traveled the world, opened a brothel, intimidated his rivals, and so much more. But there was a problem: Conn was breaking all the rules to defraud the United States government of more than $550 million. And when he finally got caught, he fled the country! Featuring shady government officials, voodoo dolls, and an unbelievable manhunt, this is the story of one of the largest scams in U.S. history.

Great Podcast

I haven’t had time to watch the doc series yet, so I decided to listen to this first. I wanted to watch the doc before listening to this, but this makes me want to watch it even more! This podcast does a great job of being a standalone, but I can’t wait to re-listen to it as a companion to the doc! Great work!

LOVED the documentary- this Podcast adds so much more to the story

These guys know how to tell a story!!! When I learned this was the same team that brought us the “McMillions” Documentary I had to check it out! They did not disappoint! I watched all 4 episodes of this documentary in one sitting, it was such an interesting story and they brought the same humor (where they could while not making light of the serious desperation the victims of Eric C. Conn are feeling) definitely worth listening to, and I suggest watching the documentary prior or at the same time to hear the full circle story.

Con Non Grata

Eric Conn figured out how to abuse the system and make a mockery of the few safety nets the United States provides. It makes me furious (in between finding hilarity) that this was possible and was allowed to continue for so long. What makes me even more furious is the aftermath for Conn’s victims. Things need to change in this country.

Wow! What a scam Social Security is!

You start off thinking Conn is a horror, but no! It’s our own government! Shocker! 🙄 Social Security Administration is the horror, yet they walk away totally unscathed. Eric C Conn got screwed!

Podcast then TV Show

I watched all of the show already then I found the podcast. Episode 1 of the podcast provides succinct background information about SSA, why there was a backlog of cases, and the friendship between the two whistleblowers. It also explains that SSA was beginning the process of switching from paper folders to a new electronic system. Please just release all episodes of the podcast now so people can listen first and then watch the TV show. And listen and watch together.
