Were Somali pirates really to blame for the 2011 attack on oil tanker Brillante Virtuoso and its $100 million cargo of fuel? An inspection of the burnt, floating wreckage told insurance investigator David Mockett a different story. Unfortunately, he was murdered before he could bring his suspicions of fraud to light.

On this episode, we’re joined by Bloomberg Businessweek magazine reporter Matthew Campbell who, with co-author and fellow reporter Kit Chellel, wrote Dead in the Water: A True Story of Hijacking, Murder, and a Global Maritime Conspiracy.
