Samuel Upham — The Podcast

TUX introduces his favorite scandal STEPHANIE has done on this season of Beyond Reproach—Episode 32: Samuel Upham's Counterfeit Confederate Cash.

STEPHANIE tells the story of Samuel Upham, the man who dunked on the Confederacy all the way from the safety of his shop in downtown Philly. We raise our glasses to a successful war profiteer we all can get down with because sometimes you gotta print money to make money!
