This week, Laci welcomes Jennifer Welch (I've Had It Podcast) to explore Juliette D'Souza, an ordinary British woman who masqueraded as a healer with a secret connection to a source of power deep in the Amazon rainforest. For over 10 years, she convinced 11 victims to hand over $1 million, nailing their cash fortunes to a tree deep in the South American jungle. Stay schemin’!
