  • Summary

  • Kaushal Niroula and Danny Garcia - two gay con artists who committed crimes from San Francisco to Hawaii to Mexico, each one more unbelievable than the last. They were tracked for years by Tyson Wrensch, a citizen detective who vowed to bring them to justice after they emptied his bank accounts. Kaushal and Danny masqueraded as real estate moguls, art dealers, bankers and even royalty – taking advantage of corruption and weaknesses in the American business structure – the banking system, academia, immigration laws, the private fine-art market, and more. They even conned each other. They were never pursued by law enforcement for their crimes until they committed the one crime they couldn’t con their way out of: murder.

    Jan 27 2025
    Hosts Julie Golden and Kim Kantner dive headfirst into the story behind the murder of a reclusive, gay Palm Springs millionaire, Cliff Lambert. Their first introduction to the story comes by way of a warning: very few people are likely to talk about this story because the characters behind the murder are that scary. Those characters are a gang of charming, charismatic, and ultimately dangerous con men - including Kaushal Niroula, the self-proclaimed “Prince of Nepal”, and Danny Garcia, one of San Francisco’s prettiest party boys. When our story begins, the only person willing to talk to Julie and Kim is Tyson Wrensch, a one-time private eye turned Silicon Valley exec who was taken for hundreds of thousands of dollars by Danny. Tyson has spent the years since being conned by his then best friend tracking down this group of savvy grifters and attempting to bring them to justice. Julie and Kim meet him on this journey - an odyssey that includes identity theft, near misses on the San Francisco BART train, and a trip to the desert to try and find what police never could.

    Episode 2: The Thomas White Affair
    Feb 3 2025
    Tyson Wrensch knows the exact moment that Danny Garcia got past his defenses. It was when, early in their friendship, Danny told him about Bay Area millionaire philanthropist Thomas White – and the abuse he suffered at his hands. Tyson was moved by the trust he felt Danny had put in him. And that made Tyson trust Danny. But as Julie and Kim consider this pivotal moment, it raises new questions – how could Danny Garcia, an alleged victim himself, go on to victimize so many others? Is it possible that Thomas White wasn’t really a predator at all? Was he actually one of Danny’s victims? Trying to decode the Thomas White story will lead Kim and Julie to another seriously dangerous character: Danny Garcia’s cousin, Dennis. Dennis was Danny and Kaushal’s driver, an ex-con, weed farmer, and self professed black magic practitioner. On at least two occasions, Kaushal asked Dennis to kill for him. Dennis claims he knows the truth about the Thomas White affair. So, to find out, Kim and Julie will have to sit down with him, face to face.
