85,000 is a high-impact investigative podcast from SLAP The Network that uncovers one of the most controversial cases of government overreach in modern American history—the collapse and wrongful conviction of Arthur Andersen during the Enron scandal.

This isn’t just a story about a firm. It’s the untold story of 85,000 employees across 84 countries whose lives were upended overnight—and who have waited over two decades for the truth to be told.

Through exclusive, never-before-heard interviews with key insiders—including David Duncan, Rusty Hardin, Michael Oxley, and former Arthur Andersen leaders—this series challenges the narrative the world accepted and reveals what really happened behind closed doors.

This is not true crime.
This is not corporate history.
This is a story about power, accountability, and the human cost of being on the wrong side of a system.
