FROM THE HILL TO THE TRENCHES

FROM THE HILL TO THE TRENCHES

When billions disappear through shell companies and elderly Americans lose their life savings to family members, who's tracking the money? From the Hill to the Trenches: The Search for Justice takes you inside the investigations that traditional media won't touch. Host Dorothy Hill, former Goldman Sachs executive and financial crime investigator with 25 years of Wall Street experience, reveals how sophisticated fraud schemes operate and why our systems keep failing victims. Each episode uncovers real cases where dirty money flows through legitimate institutions, where compliance failures enable international crime rings, and where individual families fight back against billion-dollar theft operations. You'll hear directly from former FBI agents who dismantled money laundering networks, compliance officers who caught sanctions violations before they made headlines, and whistleblowers who exposed corruption that regulators missed. This isn't a theoretical finance discussion. These are active investigations involving cryptocurrency manipulation, elder abuse networks, and geopolitical sanctions that reshape global banking overnight. Hill connects individual fraud cases to systemic failures that threaten financial stability worldwide, giving you intelligence that impacts markets, regulations, and enforcement priorities. Whether you're managing compliance risk at a major institution, investigating economic crimes, or simply want to understand how financial criminals operate in plain sight, From the Hill to the Trenches: The Search for Justice delivers insights you can't find anywhere else. Every episode reveals another layer of the hidden economy where crime and legitimate finance intersect. Follow the money. Understand the system. Search for justice.

    Cardiac Cowboys

    The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
