Dirty Money Moves: Women in White Collar Crime

By: Cloud10
  • Summary

  • Dirty Money Moves: Women in White Collar Crime dives deep into cases involving a more rare type of criminal, women who commit financial crimes. Scamming and financial crimes are usually a man’s game, but women dabble in it too. In Season Three of Dirty Money Moves, host, Jami Rice of MURDERISH, the podcast, takes listeners along as she investigates Tracii Hutsona, a self-described “winner” who appeared to have it all: successful businesses, multimillion dollar mansions, luxury cars, and the cash to spend on high-end jewelry and vacations. She claimed to have had a lengthy acting and modeling career, one that saw her on the cover of several major magazines, including Italian Vogue. She even claimed to have romantic ties to Keanu Reeves. But not much about Tracii seems to be real, except maybe her abilities as a con artist. Most recently, she made headlines for embezzling more than $1 million from Joumana Kidd, actress and ex wife of NBA star Jason Kidd, via Tracii’s luxury concierge business. Then, Tracii opened a restaurant in San Diego, fittingly called “Breakfast Bitch,” which was funded, in part, by Joumana’s money. These recent crimes may have garnered all the media attention, but they are by no means Tracii’s first run-ins with the law. She’s had a long history of schemes, going back 30 years. Yet, the most shocking thing about Tracii isn't the dollar amount she’s managed to steal over the years, but the way in which she victimizes the people closest to her, over and over again. This is the story of an extremely charismatic woman who can manipulate even the most savvy person into believing exactly what she needs them to, all in the pursuit of a lifestyle of luxury, glamour, and self-indulgence.

  • Samantha Azzopardi: “The Grifter Goes to Church” | S4 E2
    Jan 23 2025
    When a young girl was found distraught and non-communicative in the streets of Dublin in 2013, it kicked off one of Ireland’s biggest mysteries. After the Dublin police had exhausted all of their options, they got permission to release a photo of the girl to the media in hopes of finding out her true identity. When Garda eventually did, they discovered she wasn’t a 14-year-old as initially expected. She was 25-year-old Australian con woman, Samantha Azzopardi. As Samantha’s story went global, others began to contact Dublin authorities with tales of how she’d deceived them as well. Irish authorities grappled with how to process Samantha. Technically, she hadn’t committed any crime, or filed any false claims …but she’d wasted hundreds of thousands of dollars in Government money and countless hours of time. How would authorities decide what to do with Samantha? And what exactly were her goals in pretending to be a distraught teenage girl in a country 29 hours away from her home in Australia? And what other false identities had she been living under for the past ten years? Follow host, Jami Rice, on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube @JamiOnAir to keep up with this story and other true crime cases she’s deep-diving into and providing commentary on.

  • Samantha Azzopardi: “The GPO Girl” | S4 E1
    Jan 16 2025
    In October 2013, two police officers in Dublin, Ireland came across a disheveled, emaciated and distressed teenage girl wandering around by herself outside the General Post Office. She was unable to speak, using only primitive sign language to show her age. From what the officers could translate, the girl indicated that she was 14-years-old. Child welfare authorities took her to a nearby children’s hospital while trying to figure out who she was. As The Garda looked into uncovering the young girl’s identity, local media began speculating about possible sex trafficking as the country-wide interest in her case grew. Who was this young girl? Where was her family? What was her name? When Irish authorities uncovered the truth, it turned out the young girl was not a young girl after all. She was a 25-year-old Australian con woman named Samantha Azzopardi, and this incident was not the first (or the last) time she’d convinced people to shower her with care and attention by assuming a false identity. In fact, Samantha had been doing this for most of her adult life. As interest in this case grew, so did the stories of the dozens of people she’d de-frauded across three continents. To this day, Samantha’s motive for doing all of this isn’t exactly clear. Sponsor: AquaTru: Visit AquaTru.com and use code DIRTYMONEY at checkout for 20% off any AquaTru purifier.
