People can’t help but compare Eric Conn to Better Call Saul‘s Saul Goodman. With his colorful ties, can’t-miss yellow billboards as far as the eye can see, and connections to crooked judges and doctors, Eric Conn was basically made for TV. He also pulled off the biggest Social Security scam in the history of the program. Everyone thought that Eric Conn was the best Social Security disability lawyer in the country. Whether from an on-the-job injury or chronic illness, Eric Conn was winning people benefits left and right – until he admitted in 2017 that he was a total fraud.
In the podcast, hosts James and Brian will be telling us everything that didn’t fit into the docuseries. They’ll even be speaking to people who didn’t agree to be a part of the TV series, but agreed to be on this companion podcast. You’ll go deeper into this story that involves spraying pheromones on lawyers, bordellos in Thailand, voodoo dolls, more ex-wives than you could possibly imagine, and escaping the country.
