- 4/18/13Windy City Wipeout - In the North Shore of Chicago, business partners Jack Walsh and Charles Martin appear to be getting very rich running a foreign currency trading brokerage, One World Capital.

But is the money really coming from savvy trades? In 2007, a routine audit reveals some "irregularities" in One World's accounting. . Miami Burn - Talk about a wolf in sheep's clothing. Juan Carlos Rodriguez appeared to be anything but slick or flashy. He ran a one-man CPA firm, working from a tiny one-story office in a gritty Miami neighborhood. He was apparently a regular guy who enjoyed Dolphins football games and hanging out with a group of friends who called themselves "The Dudes."
