My advice would be to type the name of the organization in the Google or YouTube search bar and next to it put "scam" or "scandal" ...that will give you a good idea of what you're getting yourself into. 

The couple, who recently resigned from the exclusive Bel-Air Country Club in the midst of the college admissions scandal, listed the house for $28.65 million in January.

HI @Brian Gerlach, I use Stessa and the only thing I can say to illustrate it clearly is this:  it's a bit scandalous that it is free. 

. #1 in mortgage by volume is known for having ridiculously high hidden fees, #2 is another household name, famous for their "every customer should have 8 accounts" scandal, both are widely despised by Realtors (you know, the people who are telling their seller client which offer to accept and which to throw in the trash).If the person you are working with comes well referred and you have confidence in them, that goes a long way.

I live in Southeastern South Dakota, and if you're familiar with EB5 you'll know about the scandal that took place a few years ago --essentially, several Chinese investors were scammed, they sued the state, we lost our regional center.

In my local market there recently was a big scandal about someone who was ripping a bunch of investors off.

BTW, when I hear "smartest guy in the room", I think of Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room (documentary) which is all about the cocky, scandal-ridden, criminal executives that instigated the greatest corporate fraud in American history.

Now, FINALLY some of the other networks and publications are starting to pick up the story, including the Washington Post (ever heard of Watergate, that was nothing compared to this scandal), USA Today, Wallstreet Journal, etc.

Bill Gulley - you could have used the recent scandal at Penn State University to illustrate your example ...

Then the scandal with the city of Atlanta schools hit, and those Atlanta neighborhoods became not so desirable for people with kids.
