13. The WeWork Scam and Kanye's (Un)Holy Tax Return

On this episode, friend of the pod and SCAMMED's white tech bro correspondent Peter Conforti joins Tiff and Nicole to break down the spectacularly shameful (and equal parts beautiful) WeWork scam. How does a real estate company parading around Silicon Valley as a technology company lose more than half of its (potential) value in just over a month? All the stars have to align....and, damn, did they align. At the time of publication of this episode, WeWork's much anticipated IPO has been postponed indefinitely, and infamous founder Adam Neumann has stepped down as CEO (but not without a $1.7 billion payout, of course). We also revisit Tiff's early prediction and warning about the rise of the Church of Kanye, which is not only in full force but also may be his greatest financial scam of all time. "Christian Genius Billionaire Kanye West" (yes, he's legally changing his name to that) claims that God gave him a $68 million tax refund because he is now “in service to Christ.” Kanye is definitely reaping the benefits of the massive tax break bestowed upon the ultra-wealthy by his BFF Donald Trump, but Is he ALSO reaping the benefits of a religious tax exemption now that he has started a musical ministry?
