Latest Podcast episode "the money trail" is up now The Money Trail

thanks for the heads up - I enjoyed listening to this and feel hopeful now that there’s surely tons of verified info about RB with law enforcement and much more they have we don’t know about

I am missing something very simple in the scenario of MB's name change and documents. MB changed her name by Deed Poll to FNMR and also travelled to UK under that name. What I don't understand is the international driving license used as supporting ID on her passport application. Was this the acquired license in the hands of RB? Had MB applied for a name change with her own license and therefore had her own IDL in the name of FNMR? Was MB's new identity/unusual name just down to using the dodgy FNR license? Or was it to circumvent any delay to the new passport issue awaiting the deed poll documents? I am sure you will all know the answer to this, so please help me, I just can't unravel it.

Maybe the name change wasn’t necessarily because he wanted her to have that name, but was part of some story to gain access to all her documents (honey, let’s change your last name now, so it’s easier to travel together (or some bs)…give me all your documents and I’ll go down to the deed poll and start the process for you…

I was disappointed with the latest podcast, nothing new, just rehashing what they have already said or what we already knew. But almost everything said has already been known as you guys are 2 steps ahead with your research and sleuthing ...But others not on websleuths may have enjoyed it.

Agree nothing we haven’t already discussed on here…
The sound effects in first few minutes were cringeworthy baby crying lol sounds of war what for ? It’s investigate journalism not a radio drama

so many unnecessary sound effects shoved into 1 episode ... they seem to shoving more and more in each episode

Everyone is different. I actually enjoyed and got more out of this latest episode than most of the others lately.
I think the sound effects were a brilliant touch and were like an audible timeline.

I feel I know more about the character of the man than I did before.
I feel more hopeful now.

I did enjoy hearing BC's statement and his Heiress story lol also RB showing him his multiple passports .

Was the relevance of the Knokke-Heist property (b&b) in the latest podcast revealed? I don't recall hearing anything.

Oh my god!! Hahahaha amazing work!
Which leads me to the question, aside from the stuff that is made up in his letters/memories, what other real life choices were motivated by what he had read and wanted to emulate!?
