In this episode, Madison and Mike break down “Mailed, Stolen, and Cashed,” a New York Times article by Ron Lieber that uncovers a disturbing trend: checks being stolen from the mail, altered, and cashed. Mike shares insight into the systemic issues that make this possible, how consumers are being left in the dark, and what to do if it happens to you. From financial literacy to institutional responsibility, this conversation sheds light on the hidden risks of mailing payments and what needs to change.
