Griftonomics investigates the world's greatest grifters. From wellness cults to get-rich-quick empires, each episode breaks down how con artists actually work: the tactics, the pitch, the world they build around a lie. The thesis is simple - grifts don't succeed because people are stupid. They succeed because they exploit trust, hope, and the need to belong: the same traits that make us human. Hosted by a therapist and investigative journalist Matt Hussey, Griftonomics skips the moralizing and goes straight for the mechanics of how belief gets sold.
