Exaggerated Stories and Conspiracy Theories

In this chapter, the narrator and Karen visit the tunnels underneath Las Vegas and find that it is nothing like what Coco had described. They also discuss Coco's tendency to make exaggerated claims and how it helps her gain more attention. They then interview Robert Beizer from Polaris, who talks about the fear and anxiety in society surrounding human trafficking and how conspiracy theories are being fueled by exaggerated stories like Coco's. They also touch on the Wayfair conspiracy and its impact on anti-trafficking organizations. The chapter ends with a mention of the Pizza Gate conspiracy and the dangers of misinformation and aggression.
