153: Capitalism, Ponzi Schemes & A Few Millions Dollars of Missing Money (Sean Mueller)

Sean Mueller Season 1 Episode 153

This week I host another interview with a previously incarcerated student who is doing some great work in the community. Sean Mueller was sentenced to 40 years in prison in 2010 after being convicted of running a "Ponzi Scheme" and losing a few million dollars of investors' money. Since his incarceration, he's worked to become an artist, an author, and an academic; he is currently nearing the completion of his Bachelor's Degree. We talk about capitalism, education in prison, addiction, the culture industry, identity, and the struggles of getting out of prison.
