We're all too familiar with these kinds

0:02

of stories. And out of

0:04

this world personality preys on the desperation

0:06

of someone going through the worst moment

0:08

of their life. Seeking

0:10

answers, seeking help. But what happens

0:12

when that person providing the answers

0:15

is someone you're supposed to trust?

0:17

A doctor who promises hope,

0:19

survival, a cure for AIDS.

0:22

Wouldn't you do anything he said to save yourself?

0:25

From Wundery comes the newest season

0:27

of the renowned podcast, Doctor Death.

0:30

The newest season titled Bad Magic.

0:32

And this isn't just some doctor. It's

0:35

a famous one. A man

0:37

with prominent celebrity endorsements, a

0:39

credible biotech business, a big

0:41

reputation, and yes, a quirky

0:44

fascination with magic. Don't miss this

0:46

season. A story of deceit, narcissism,

0:48

humanity, and murder. I'm about to

0:50

play a clip from Doctor Death,

0:53

Bad Magic. Follow Doctor Death, Bad

0:55

Magic on the Wundery app or

0:57

wherever you get your podcasts. It

1:11

was late on a freezing Saturday night

1:13

in northern Vermont. Greg

1:16

Davis was in his bedroom with his

1:18

wife Melissa when they heard

1:20

someone outside. Greg

1:28

opened the door and saw a man

1:30

standing there wearing a jacket and mask

1:32

with the emblem of the U.S. Marshal.

1:35

He was holding a rifle. Behind

1:38

him in the driveway was a

1:40

white Ford Explorer with emergency lights

1:42

flashing in its dash. The

1:45

Marshal said he had a warrant for Greg's

1:47

arrest on racketeering charges. He had

1:49

been instructed to take him into custody and

1:52

transport him to Virginia. Greg

1:55

couldn't have known what this was all about. He

1:57

was working in waste management. friends

2:00

and family knew him as a father

2:02

of six, a businessman and a devout

2:04

Christian. He

2:06

went to his bedroom and told his pregnant

2:08

wife what was happening, then packed

2:11

a bag of clothes and walked out. Davis'

2:17

12-year-old son watched from the upstairs

2:19

window as a car pulled away.

2:24

It was the last time he saw his

2:26

father alive. The

2:32

next afternoon, a car made its way

2:35

along a quiet stretch of Peachham Road,

2:37

about 15 miles from Greg

2:39

Davis' farmhouse. It

2:42

was another brutally cold day,

2:44

barely cracking 10 degrees. Just

2:48

off the side of the road, the driver

2:50

saw something out of place. It

2:53

was a shape shutting out of the snow

2:55

bank. There

2:58

on the ground, partially covered by

3:00

snow, was a man's body. His

3:03

wrists were shackled, 22 caliber bullet

3:05

wounds in his head and torso,

3:07

with bullet casings speckling the snow

3:09

bank. Greg

3:11

Davis was dead. How

3:16

had all this happened? Prosecutors

3:18

would later claim it all traced back

3:20

to a man whose life had long

3:22

been cloaked in mystery and

3:25

who was nowhere near Vermont that night. Well,

3:29

good afternoon, everyone. It is truly

3:32

my great pleasure to welcome an

3:34

Okean biosciences. Less than

3:36

a year after Greg Davis' body

3:38

was found in the Vermont snow,

3:40

the CEO of an emerging biotech

3:43

company stood at a sleek white

3:45

lectern in Times Square. The very

3:47

first time I met Ronnessi our chairman, he

3:49

told me we'll be a NASDAQ listed company.

3:53

An Okean bioscience is now traded

3:55

alongside tech giants like Apple and

3:58

Microsoft, but the CEO Wasn't

4:00

taking the credit. The success of

4:02

the company was largely thanks to

4:04

a man who was standing just

4:07

stuff stage the man with the

4:09

ideas that drove and okay and

4:11

by of sciences to it's six

4:13

hundred million dollar valuation. The man

4:15

was sort dyed blonde hair stubble

4:17

and an impish smile. The

4:20

very first time I met through google

4:22

goog a will side to the colder

4:24

he told me will be the company

4:27

that would put an end to it

4:29

radiates. At

4:37

just thirty six years old, Dr.

4:39

Sarah was leading a mission to

4:41

and Hiv. Aids forever. He

4:43

was also working on chores for cancer,

4:46

hepatitis B, and a host of other

4:48

disease. His piece saw

4:50

him as america. Compared

4:53

him to Leonardo da Vinci, Nikola

4:55

Tesla, and Einstein in one and

4:57

the same person. But

5:00

in a few years he wouldn't. Be

5:02

known for world Changing Three. He

5:05

would. Be known as a fruit. And

5:09

have recently. Been.
