This week on The Perfect Scam.

I laid everything out to him and he looked at me and dead in my eyes and he said,

You are.

And I was like, I was like I'm sorry what do you mean he's like it sounds like this is the

mob I'm like man I've lost everything I toldarron you don't need to go down there.

I think there's a pretty good possibility

if you go down to Florida that you're not coming back alive. Welcome back to the perfect scam. I'm your host Bob Sullivan and happy

new year. Therin Miller wasn't having a great year when the newly divorced National Guardsman in

Oklahoma found himself all alone in a big house.

So he advertises for a roommate hoping to change his life a little bit.

But he could never have imagined just how that small choice would change his life forever.

Only a few months after a new friend Brent Holloway moves in, Tharren finds himself

knocking on the door of the Oklahoma City FBI office, offering to turn himself in as an

accomplice, an unwitting one, but still an accomplice, to a series of felonies.

And that might have been the least of his problems.

Tharran also finds himself in the middle of a luxury car crime ring operated by a Russian mob figure

wanted for crimes across the globe. At one point, things get so bad that Thyrin's girlfriend warns him,

if you meet with these people, you might not come back alive.

The situation is scarier than anything

Therin faced during two tours of combat duty in the Middle East.

If you think your bad roommate story is dramatic, well,

wait until you hear this one.
