 A Black Person Could Never

Where High-Stakes Crimes Meet the Reality of the "Slap on the Wrist."

We’ve all seen the headlines: A billionaire siphons off $50 million, ruins thousands of lives, and gets "sentenced" to a luxury house arrest. Meanwhile, a Black man gets a decade for a fraction of the offense. In this house, we call that what it is: The Audacity.

A Black Person Could Neva is a true-crime and culture podcast that pulls back the curtain on the world of elite financial crimes. We dive deep into the "juicy" details—the massive deceptions, the multi-million dollar thefts, and the dark underbelly of white-collar crime that often ends in murder or mysterious suicides.

But we don’t just tell the story. We compare the stark legal outcomes—contrasting the red carpet treatment of the elite with the iron-fist reality of the Black experience in the justice system.

Each week, we explore:
  • The Heist & The Fallout: Gripping stories of high-level fraud, corporate embezzlement, and the "unsolved" deaths left in their wake.
  • The Receipt Check: A side-by-side comparison of sentencing. How did he get 18 months in a "Club Fed" while we are serving life?
  • The Survival Guide: Real-world advice on spotting red flags. We teach you how to recognize a scammer before they steal your peace (and your coins).
  • Black Excellence (The Right Way): Shining a light on Black entrepreneurs and financial leaders who are building empires legally, ethically, and successfully.

This isn’t just a podcast about crime; it’s a masterclass in awareness and a loud reminder that while the elite might get away with it, a Black Person Could Never.

    This is Episode 2: Nexium – The Vow, The Vault, and The Vanishing Act

    We’re peeling back the layers on Keith Raniere and the Nexium cult. This wasn’t just a "sex cult"—it was a sophisticated financial racketeering enterprise. We’re discussing how "self-help" turned into wire fraud, extortion, and the literal branding of women, all while being funded by billionaire heiresses.

    In This Episode:
    • The "Vanguard" Hustle: How Keith Raniere masqueraded as a "genius" to charge thousands for "Executive Success Programs."
    • Collateral as Currency: A deep dive into the "DOS" secret society, where women’s most private secrets and assets were used as financial and psychological blackmail.
    • The Billionaire Funding: How the Bronfman Heiresses (Clare & Sara) poured $100 million into a criminal enterprise, proving that money doesn't buy common sense—it buys a cover-up.
    • The Financial Crimes: From identity theft and visa fraud to illegal commodities trading, we break down the racketeering acts that led to a 120-year sentence.
    • ABPCN – A Black Person Could Never: See how the "Self-Help" industry gives passes to white men to act like gurus while Black mentors are scrutinized at every turn.
