Dirty Money Moves: Women in White Collar Crime

In the last episode, we went over all of the loans, merchant agreements, and investments that Mary Carole McDonnell was able to get her hands on, beginning in 2007 and stretching through 2018. So what recourse has there been for all the people and institutions Mary Carole has scammed into loaning her money or investing in her fake family trust? 2017 marked the first year of lawsuits against her. That year at least twenty civil lawsuits were filed against Mary Carole and Bellum Entertainment, ranging from employees seeking unpaid wages, to banks trying to recoup their millions. Every year since, more and more lawsuits have been filed...over fifty in total. But while the lawsuits are rolling in, Mary Carole has never appeared in court for any of them.
