Jeff Maysh is a freelance writer based in Los Angeles. His latest article is "How an Ex-Cop Rigged McDonald’s Monopoly Game and Stole Millions." “I’ve always looked for stories with the theme of identity and identity theft. I’m very interested in people leading double lives. All of my stories are the same in a sense. Whether that’s a spy or a fake cheerleader or a bank robber or even a wrestler, someone is pretending to be someone they’re not, leading a double life. I find that really exciting. I’m drawn to characters who put on a disguise.” Thanks to MailChimp, Read This Summer, Google Play, Pitt Writers, and Coin Talk for sponsoring this week's episode. @jeffmaysh Maysh on Longform jeffmaysh.com [1:15] "The Half-Time Hero" (Howler • Sep 2013) [1:45] "How an Ex-Cop Rigged McDonald’s Monopoly Game and Stole Millions" (The Daily Beast • Jul 2017) [6:20] "A Catfishing With a Happy Ending" (The Atlantic • Oct 2017) [19:55] "America Is Bull" (Jeanne Marie Laskas • Esquire • Jan 2007) [27:55] Epic Magazine [29:5
