Most people in Dallas, Texas, know William Neil "Doc" Gallagher as the "Money Doctor." The radio host and author of financial self-help books holds himself up as a pillar of his close-knit Christian community. Doc uses his smooth radio voice to emcee for Dallas' much loved Senior Follies singing group. He offers financial advice to anyone willing to lend and ear and lavishes friends and acquaintances with gifts. But all of Doc's good deeds come with sinister strings attached. The "Money Doctor" is using his power and influence to steal more than $20 million from investors in a Ponzi scheme.
