Lucky Strike released in cinemas on Friday 17th July. I'm a sucker for a movie based on a true story and I can't help but do some digging into the stories these movies are based on. In this mini-minisode I share some of the background to Lucky Strike and the audio from the trailer. I really enjoyed it and I highly recommend booking your tickets now.

Episode 206 The Rotten Milk Scam
In 1980s South Africa, a well-known resident of a small Northern Cape town, launched a scheme many believed would be their ticket to the soft life. But it wouldn’t be long before people outside of the scheme started to ask questions. When they did, they were shut down, even threatened by those within the scheme’s quarters. Soon though, the sheer scale of the fraud was laid bare, and it wasn’t just contained to South Africa. The scheme became the biggest postal fraud case in United States history at the time, and for the man at the helm, in many ways, it was just the beginning. - 24-hr trauma helpline 082-821-3447 - Support the show on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/truecrimesa - Support the show on PayPal https://www.paypal.me/truecrimesa - Get TCSA and General True Crime Merch on https://sacriminologist.co.za/shop/ 10% off with code TCSA sitewide - The disclaimer voiceover was done by Karabo Peter at the VOW 88.1 studios Instagram · Pinterest · Facebook · YouTube · Twitter · LinkedIn
