The Curse of Kindness: The Lottery Murder of Abraham Shakespeare

Abraham Shakespeare thought winning $30 million would change his life—and it did. Just not in the way he’d hoped.

In this twisted true crime saga, we unravel the story of a Florida man who went from broke and hardworking to multimillionaire overnight, only to be manipulated, exploited, and ultimately murdered by a woman who promised to protect him. Her name? Dorice “Dee Dee” Moore—a self-proclaimed businesswoman who saw Abraham not as a human being, but as a golden goose with a target on his back.

This deep dive pulls back the curtain on how Abraham’s generosity became his downfall, how Dee Dee’s greed turned homicidal, and how her breathtaking arrogance led to one of the most audacious cover-ups ever seen in a murder case. We walk through the sting operation that exposed her lies, the audio recordings that sealed her fate, and her outrageous behavior—both in court and behind bars—that proves some people really never learn.

Featuring real quotes, trial transcripts, jaw-dropping deception, and sharp commentary that highlights the tragic absurdity of it all, this episode will leave you equal parts infuriated and fascinated. Whether you’re new to true crime or think you’ve heard it all, we guarantee this one will stick with you.

Trust no one. Check your bank accounts. And if someone offers to write a book about you? Maybe run.
