Welcome to Lurking in the Fog! The podcast in which we dive deep into the crimes and evils that inhabits the world we live in. Our goal is to showcase how crime affects businesses day-to-day operations.

Why Lurking in the Fog? Simple: at its very essence, Crime operates in disguise. Rarely will it show its true colors in plain eyesight. Crime thrives in the grey. In situations where confusion and chaos are the norm, crime is king. As such, it Lurks in the Fog. Should you ever be in need of investigative assistance, don't hesitate to shoot us a hoot!

E26-Perception and Power
Episode 26
Tuesday, 1 July, 2025
In this episode of Lurking in the Fog, we are joined by Kelby Ballena, a seasoned paralegal specialist with a 20-year career that spans criminal defense, white-collar investigations, and international arbitration battles. Through a deceptively simple question—“What is a crime, really?”—Kelby peels back the legal labels and statistics that politicians manipulate and prosecutors negotiate. He shows how culture, economics, and even dark humor redraw the line between innocence and guilt, from U.S. courthouses to shell companies weaponizing treaty loopholes. He unpacks why perception can make or break a case, how trust becomes a criminal’s favorite tool, and more. Tune in for a conversation on deception, definition, and the human flaws that let crime thrive in plain sight.
