In today’s episode, we look at two epic collapses—one in the courtroom and one on-chain. Lori Vallow-Daybell, already convicted for her role in a disturbing murder case, is now representing herself in a separate Arizona trial. We break down what that means, why it rarely ends well, and how this bizarre move mirrors her unraveling.

Then we shift to the crypto world, where the Mantra OM token has imploded. After reaching impressive highs as a Real World Asset narrative darling, it’s now crashed hard—raising serious questions about its foundations, leadership, and whether these expat-run projects ever had staying power.

This is one of those episodes where the warning signs were there all along—and we connect the dots.
