As the FBI, DEA, ATF, etc. close in on Dread Pirate Roberts, we look at the mistakes that were made to enable the authorities to get their man, as well as the weak links in the security around Silk Road.

The e-bay of the dark web, The Silk Road was set up on the dark web by The Dread Pirate Roberts in 2011. Mostly used for selling drugs, you could also buy guns or book a hitman.

The morality issue is one thing, but were any laws broken by the owners of the site? Did they deserve the sentences they got?

During times of war, all sorts of shady stuff goes down, and it's not always on the battlefield.

Marcel Petiot is a prime example of how incompetence, negligence and apathy can come together to create the perfect circumstance for a tragic occurrence, culminating in a lot of deaths after dozens of missed opportunities to stop this man.

A thief, a liar, a fraudster and eventually a killer, Marcel Petiot spent most of his life operating undetected due to a comedy of errors and lack of communication. I would like to say that it couldn't happen today, but we all know better than that.

Two tales hundreds of years apart set in Serbia. One a tale of heroism, the other more macabre.
A bit of history, a bit of horror and a bit of geography. What more could you ask?

Wherever you find money, you will find someone trying to remove it. The internet has spawned as many scam sites as porn sites, and scamming is a billion dollar business now. Even 150 years ago, people were chancing their arm at making a quick buck, and this episode looks at a couple of the ones that were successful.

Intelligence was big business in Nazi Germany, and when they mixed business with pleasure, it literally boomed! Salon Kitty was a mine of useful information from an extraordinary amount of sources. A genius idea that capitalised on the male's inability to think with his head while in the company of a beautiful woman, Salon Kitty set the bar for Intelligence gathering, rivalled only by J Edgar Hoover's FBI.

A look at the life and motivation behind some of the more notorious pirates ever to sail the seven seas. Not Blackbeard or Bluebeard or Long John Silver, but lesser known names that proved how profitable, glamorous and short a pirate's career could really be.
Fascinating stuff.
