In the 1980s, Chicago's trading floor was packed with loud-mouth tough guys, mountains of cocaine and a whole lot of money. Those ingredients added up to one of the biggest — and most expensive — undercover FBI investigations in history. Whether or not it was a successful operation is open to debate.

On this episode ofDirty Moneyhosts Dan Bova and Jon Small welcome guest Anjay Nagpal, who investigated the federal investigation on his hit true-crime podcastBrokers, Bagmen & Moles. During the talk, Nagpal shares insights into how the Chicago sausage was made when it comes to financial crime and gives a peek behind the curtain of what it is like to interview people who may or may not have killed for fun and profit.

Did the Feds take down a massive criminal empire, or was it all just a waste of taxpayers' money? Did Nagpal tell Dan and Jon the ending of his multi-part podcast series? Only one way to find out — listen!
