New York, NY - November 1, 2024 - Sony Music Entertainment today premiered Lady Mafia, a podcast that explores the world of Orange County, CA high powered lawyer Sara King, who was accused of scamming investors out of $10 million before her story was splashed across the headlines. Lady Mafia invites listeners to hear Sara's story directly from her for the very first time. New episodes available weekly. Subscribers toThe Binge can listen to all six episodes, all at once today.

The "Female Bernie Madoff." The "Anna Delvey of the OC." Slot Whisperer. Lady Mafia. Sara King is a woman of many monikers. But who is she really? Veteran reporter Michele McPhee figures out what really happened, detailing her rise and impossible fall in this riveting 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. We speak to 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.

"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 O.C.," said host, Michele McPhee. "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 legalized loansharking. Buckle up folks. This woman's life is a thrill ride."

Lady Mafia is written and produced by Odelia Rubin and Jonathan Hirsch. Catherine Saint Louis is the story editor. The podcast is executive produced by Shara Morris and Jonathan Hirsch.
