Lady Mafia podcast hears from lawyer accused of scamming $10 million

A new podcast explores the world of lawyer Sara King, who was accused of scamming investors out of $10 million before her story was splashed across the headlines.

From Sony Music Entertainment, Lady Mafia hears the Orange County, CA high powered lawyer’s story directly from her for the very first time.

The “Female Bernie Madoff.” The “Anna Delvey of the OC.” Slot Whisperer. Lady Mafia. Sara King is a woman given many titles, but who is she really?

Veteran reporter Michele McPhee figures out what really happened, detailing her rise and impossible fall in this behind-the-scenes look at a master of deception.

Sara is a glorified loan shark swimming in the murky waters of fast money and shady deals in Orange County. The podcast hears from a man she swindled and the lawyer who ultimately ended her gambling spree.

Sara says the world has it wrong and she’s no con artist. McPhee, for her part, doesn’t think it’s that simple. After more than a year of reporting, McPhee gets to the heart of why Sara did what she did and gets Sara to finally level with her.

Michele McPhee said: “When Sara pulled me into this project, I was immediately enthralled with the question about how a lawyer who lived in a stunning Newport Beach home with her first husband, a woman who had it all, was so inexplicably drawn to the underbelly of the OC.

“I wanted to figure out why an educated woman, the child of business owners, chose to surround herself with a slew of shady characters and become a hard money lender.

“To this girl from Boston who covered the New York City Mafia’s five families for a decade, it sounded a lot like legalised loansharking. Buckle up folks. This woman’s life is a thrill ride.”
