I Was Sentenced to 2 Years in Federal Prison

Daddy Issues with Violet Benson

Show Notes

A Daddy Issues listener DM’d Violet with the ultimate opener: she had just gotten out of federal prison. This week, Violet sits down with Carol, a former accountant indicted on wire fraud and bank fraud charges after COVID relief money went very wrong. We’re getting into the FBI showing up, facing 20 years, prison camp, halfway houses, ankle monitors, restitution, and what it really looks like to rebuild after serving your time. Carol made the mistake, paid the price, and now she’s telling the story.
