Show Notes

Faking the Books: HealthSouth’s Earnings Mirage is a gritty investigative narrative that examines how relentless Wall Street pressure, executive expectations, and a culture of silence allowed a massive financial deception to grow inside HealthSouth. Told in a clear, journalistic voice, the series traces how routine accounting pressure hardened into systemic fraud, placing employees in impossible positions and distorting reality for investors, regulators, and the public. The story focuses on power, fear, and the cost of manufactured success, showing how corporate fraud is built not only on false numbers, but on human decisions made under sustained pressure.
