A Study in Crime

18-06-2024 • 58 mins

Frank was the muscle for a loan shark named Pete. Andy owed Pete $250k. One day Frank encouraged Andy to repay the loan by firing a handgun at him. The bullet whizzed past Andy’s ear narrowly missing him. And with that, Andy agreed to wear a wire for the FBI. In this episode, 10. The Case of the Pugilistic Loan Shark, I speak with retired FBI Special Agent Jerri Williams.
