#34 - The Wall Street Is Rigged - He Exposed Their Game and Paid the Price with Ross Mandell

Welcome back to Wealth Eazy.
Meet Ross Mandell. He was the first American to list on the London Stock Exchange twice. He took over 100 companies public and built a fortune exceeding $400 million. But when he found a way around Wall Street's monopoly, the system didn't just fight back - they destroyed him.
From managing billions to federal prison, Ross has seen both extremes of the American financial system. Today, he's breaking his silence about what really happens behind Wall Street's closed doors.
In our conversation, Ross reveals:
✅ The sophisticated game Wall Street plays with your money
✅ Why the coming market crash could be the biggest wealth transfer in history
✅ How the elite stay rich while keeping others out
✅ The playbook they don't teach in business school
If you think you understand how the financial system works, think again and check out this episode. Ross isn't just sharing his story - he's exposing the blueprint of modern wealth manipulation.
They tried to silence him once. Now he's telling everything.

We dive into some real talk about RRSPs - are they the tax-saving heroes we think they are? Plus, we discuss why teaching your kids about money is crucial (and it's never too early to start).
 
Whether you're just starting out or you've been in the game for years, I promise you'll learn something new. Brent shares insights that even surprised me, and I've been doing this for decades!
