Which elites get jail time — and which make it big on Wall Street?

Episode 105 with Touré

Greetings from sunny Miami, where we’re wrapping up our second year of KK&F! The final episode of 2022 is a conversation between Krystal and Touré, a writer who documents the fall from grace of a former classmate and newcomer to the élite Ivy League world. The subject of The Ivy League Counterfeiter attended a top-level prep school and Columbia University through scholarships, but became swept up in counterfeiting, a journey Touré masterfully describes in what reads like a “made-for-Hollywood script” but is instead a powerful, fascinating true story. That, plus Touré’s insight as a cultural critic into the biggest artist scandals of the year, is the focus of our conversation this week.
