The Eron Mortgage Fraud: Canada's Biggest Ponzi - Part 5: Aftermath and Reckoning
Aug 21, 20266 minS11
After the collapse, the long, unspectacular work of law began. The noise of headlines faded, replaced by the quiet grind of recovery, litigation, and reckoning.At Eron Mortgage, the paper trail stopped pretending to be ordinary. Now, it was evidence. Investors wanted their money back. Regulators wanted a clean accounting. The courts wanted names, accountability, and—if possible—justice. The aftermath of Eron’s collapse wasn’t just a story of loss. It became a lesson for an entire province.Learn more at: https://thefraudarchive.com/fraud/eron-mortgage The Fraud Archive is part of The Archive Network by Jonkai Ventures, a collection of podcasts dedicated to exploring history's greatest cons, scams, and financial crimes.

The Eron Mortgage Fraud: Canada's Biggest Ponzi - Part 4: Collapse in Plain Sight
Aug 20, 20267 minS11
The first sign of a failing Ponzi isn’t a confession—it’s hesitation. Payments slow. Explanations multiply. Investors who once felt confident start to wonder why their calls aren’t returned.In nineteen ninety-seven, Eron Mortgage began to unravel, not with a bang, but with a growing sense of unease. The collapse wasn’t a single event. It was a process—a slow-motion disaster that spread as confidence evaporated.Learn more at: https://thefraudarchive.com/fraud/eron-mortgage The Fraud Archive is part of The Archive Network by Jonkai Ventures, a collection of podcasts dedicated to exploring history's greatest cons, scams, and financial crimes.

The Eron Mortgage Fraud: Canada's Biggest Ponzi - Part 3: Paper Trails and Manufactured Trust
Aug 19, 20266 minS11
Every day, the Eron machine had to manufacture the look of a real mortgage lender. Statements. Loan files. Interest payments. Explanations for every delay. The scheme depended on a relentless stream of paperwork—and the illusion that everything added up.According to court records, Eron’s investors believed their funds were tied to real mortgages. But the paper trail didn’t hold up. The mechanics were classic Ponzi. New investor money paid off old promises. The more the company grew, the more documents it needed to create just to keep up the illusion. In legitimate finance, a file is proof of a transaction. In fraud, the file becomes the transaction. A ledger entry stands in for a loan. A payment notice stands in for genuine cash flow. The paperwork becomes the business.Learn more at: https://thefraudarchive.com/fraud/eron-mortgage The Fraud Archive is part of The Archive Network by Jonkai Ventures, a collection of podcasts dedicated to exploring history's greatest cons, scams, and financial crimes.

The Eron Mortgage Fraud: Canada's Biggest Ponzi - Part 2: The Seduction of Safety
Aug 18, 20266 minS11
What if the most dangerous investment isn’t the one that sounds too good to be true, but the one that seems boring, familiar, and safe? At Eron Mortgage, that was the hook.The pitch wasn’t about getting rich quick. It was about trust. Once Eron got its first wave of money, the story it sold stopped being about finance and started being about reassurance. Investors weren’t just buying a product—they were buying a sense of belonging. In British Columbia’s close-knit communities, money follows trust. Word spread from neighbor to neighbor, broker to retiree. The yield wasn’t flashy. The company looked dull. And that was the seduction.Learn more at: https://thefraudarchive.com/fraud/eron-mortgage The Fraud Archive is part of The Archive Network by Jonkai Ventures, a collection of podcasts dedicated to exploring history's greatest cons, scams, and financial crimes.

The Eron Mortgage Fraud: Canada's Biggest Ponzi - Part 1: Ordinary Papers, Extraordinary Lies
Aug 17, 20266 minS11
Picture yourself walking into a quiet suburban office, surrounded by nothing but file folders, fluorescent lights, and the hum of everyday finance. Nothing feels risky—until you realize the paperwork itself is hiding a secret.Before Eron Mortgage became the headline for Canada’s biggest Ponzi scheme, it was just another name in British Columbia’s finance scene. This was the early nineteen nineties, where private mortgage lending looked too dull, too safe, to ever become a disaster. Investors wanted yield but not excitement. They wanted something tangible—real estate, bricks, and land. And they were met with a business model that seemed tailor-made for cautious Canadians.Learn more at: https://thefraudarchive.com/fraud/eron-mortgage The Fraud Archive is part of The Archive Network by Jonkai Ventures, a collection of podcasts dedicated to exploring history's greatest cons, scams, and financial crimes.

Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
