Ever watch Racket Squad, a precursor of American_Greed? It was on TV from 1951-1953 but syndicated for years afterward. The star, Reed Hadley, had about the best voice on Radio and TV. The show's opening was memorable:

"What you are about to see is a real-life story, taken from the files of the police racket and bunco squads, business protective associations and similar sources around the country. It is intended to expose the confidence game - the carefully worked-out frauds by which confidence men take more money each year from the American public than all the bank robbers and thugs with their violence."
