Devastator: The Crimes of Christopher Hightower, Part 2

When we left you at the end of part 1, con man Christopher
Hightower was coming unglued. His wife was threatening to leave
him. His landlords were threatening to kick him out of his office.
Creditors were swarming. And his old friend Ernie Brendel was
pursuing a formal complaint against him with the Commodity Futures
Trading Commission. Can you imagine? All he did was commit a little
light financial fraud! In Chris’s mind, the whole world was out to
get him. And he was about to strike back in a way that would bring
the small town of Barrington Rhode Island to its knees. Join us for
part 2 of this unbelievable and tragic story.
