Trafficked with Mariana Van Zeller

Ms van Zeller has some guts. She provides insights & footage of incredibly dangerous people & situations. Incredibly informative (though steroid episode was worthless exposure for narcissistic vermin.) She is grade A journalist.

The episode detailing the scamming "business" in Jamaica and Israel was informative and very well done up until Ms. Van Zeller decided to inject some misguided social justice propaganda into the episode. After completing her investigation into the Israeli investment scammers, she abruptly switched back to the Jamaican scammers and led them to justify their illegal behavior by citing reparations for their years of slavery. What she failed to mention is that the slavery in Jamaica was controlled by the British colonists not Americans.

If it is all legitimate footage then it is very impressive journalism

Just watched the first episode about assassin's. Whaaaaaaat a crock. This is just another 'Muricahn sensationalist schlockfest. She keeps talking about how they "didn't want to meet" with her or were "hesitatnt" or whatever but then miraculously a hooded figure with voice distortion appears and spills their guts..... c'mon guys.... I've seen a few other reviews on here that feel the same way. Is it entertaining? Meh. Is it factual? Who knows. Is it "real"? Nah. A person who kills for money isn't going to go anywhere near a journalist, let alone give them their life story for a couple hundred bucks. Won't be bothering with the rest of the season.

How many times does Maria tell viewers this without addressing the question: WHY does one dangerous criminal after another agree to meet with her if doing so is so dangerous? Such an obvious question left unaddressed raises questions as to the authenticity of the show?
