Survivor's Mike Skupin Busted Running Ponzi Scheme

This news report has been making the rounds. They totally ruin Skupin here with plenty of facts to show he is up to no good.

Wow, I had no idea Mike was such a scumbag. He is apparently using his Survivor fame and Christian character to sucker people into the most obvious ponzi scheme. And he acts like it's never been done before! lol

I love that he does marriage conferences and advertises that he has raised 7 kids, but fails to mention that they are 7 kids from 3 marriages.

Wasn't he the guy that got burned in the fire?

Yeah. I think he came back for an all-stars season too.

I guess if the idea was to emulate Richard Hatch, this guy found a good way of doing it.

Entertaining to watch. I thought the investigative reporter did a decent job, except for the part where he's yelling at Skupin, "You're a bum! You're a loser!" while trying to get a reaction out of him.

He was always one of those a lot of people wanted to see back on "Survivor" but he only recently came back for the season (last Fall, I believe) where three players removed from the game ("Penner" was also one) were given another shot. He managed to get to the finale but lost to Denise, a therapist I barely remember.

We might have remembered her if she set herself on fire.

at a news station based in a city famously rife with corruption going after Skupin who probably can't even spell Ponzi.
