This is one thing Florida-based psychic Rose Marks maybe did not see in her future: a ten-year jail sentence.

However perhaps she ought to have. She was, in spite of everything, stealing some huge cash from unsuspecting shoppers. Rose Marks and eight members of her household have been accused and convicted of bilking roughly $25 million out of her clients over the course of a number of years. The rip-off was so simple as it was depraved. Mentally manipulate susceptible folks, and persuade them that the “short-term” give up of huge quantities of money and jewels would function a sacrifice that might appease evil spirits and make them go away. As soon as the unhealthy luck vanished, the money and jewels can be returned.

That’s, after all, except you occur to “misplace” the sacrifices and by no means give something again.

On this episode of Soiled Cash, co-hosts Jon Small and Dan Bova converse with creator Tori Tefler, who chronicled Marks’ crimes and the dastardly deeds of different feminine criminals in her e-book Assured Girls. Tefler breaks down Marks’ scheme, explaining how and why she was in a position to persuade so many individuals that she was the reply to their prayers moderately than the start of their worst nightmares.

We simply appeared into our crystal ball…and see you actually loving this episode. Thanks for listening!
