If It Lies Like a Duck

Jerry just spent a week and a half on federal jury duty, and he finally gets to talk about it. He was picked as an alternate on a fraud case out of the Western District of Pennsylvania: a guy named Seth who promised small business owners everything from truck tracking systems to trail cameras to a six figure CBD deal, took their money, and delivered almost nothing.

Jerry walks Joe through the whole case, the fabricated Cabela's purchase order, the gummy bears melted in a box, the logger who lost his life savings and his skid steer, and the jury's verdict: guilty on all 30 counts. It's a story about hope, trust, and why you pick up the phone and call the authorities the second something feels off, because sooner or later you're on one side of a scam or the other.
