What we’re about
What drives some people to a life of crime? For decades criminals have captured the public imagination. Whether it's financial fraudsters like Elizabeth Holmes and Sam Bankman-Fried or gangsters like Al Capone and Pablo Escobar, we are fascinated hearing their stories. They are mired in complexity, deviate from social norms and live in ways we can only imagine. Many even have characteristics that we admire - intelligence, bravery, ambition, charisma. But they are also deeply flawed, often in relatable ways. In this group we will meet to discuss some of the most famous criminals throughout history. Join us to explore the darker side of humanity over food and drinks.
