In this week’s Money & Markets, Catherine and John Titus delve into ‘The Wages of Fakery.’ They discuss the broad economic implications of pervasive fakery, from banking ties to Jeffrey Epstein’s scandal to more honest bubbles in various parts of the U.S.

They examine significant lawsuits against major banks tied to Epstein, the fallout from fake riots in Portland, and the impact of financial fakery on the American working class, particularly within the used car market.

The discussion also covers moves towards implementing digital IDs in the UK, practical pushback strategies, and the role of cash in maintaining financial freedom.
