Confessions of a College Ponzi Scheme Mastermind: My Shocking Path to a Supermax Prison | Syed Arbab

Listen to the astonishing true story of Syed Arbab, a college student who sought to escape his normal and religious upbringing by attending a notorious party school. What started as a way to reinvent himself soon spiraled out of control when his legitimate business began to crumble, leading him to mastermind a Ponzi scheme.

But Syed's troubles didn't end with his arrest. Even in federal prison, his actions continued to draw attention, ultimately leading to his transfer to a Supermax facility where he spent time with some of the most prolific inmates in United States History.. In this candid confession, Syed Arbab reveals the shocking details of his rise and fall, the critical mistakes that led to his downfall, and the harsh realities of life behind bars in one of the toughest prisons in the world.
