It's hard to believe a $600 million government fraud occurred right underneath taxpayers' noses, but "The Big Conn" reveals how Conn got away with it for so long. However, the big question the series still doesn't quite answer is if it's possible for the same social security scam to happen again.
"It's really tough to say," Hernandez shares. "There are some massive flaws in the way that social security is run, and it's basically been run the same way since maybe the 1950s . . . we really hope that people start to focus on this because we are headed in a direction where social security won't exist for people — young people, millennials today — let alone Gen Z. So unless things change, unless there's a larger focus on how things can be changed, it's eventually just going to totally dry up."
