Chameleon: The Michigan Plot

Introducing *Crime Waves: Cold Truth*

How far would you go to save the world from itself?

Dr. Eugene Mallove believed that a new form of world-changing free  energy — cold fusion — was just around the corner. Even when his work  was pushed to the fringes, he dreamed of a brighter future. But before  Dr. Mallove could usher in that future, he was found dead in the  driveway of his childhood home. Everyone had their own ideas of who  killed him, and investigators were looking in all the wrong places.

From QCODE and Faceplant, in association with No Smiling, Crime  Waves: Cold Truth is a story about one man's quest to expose the truth,  the lengths he would go to save the world, and how his dream caught up  with him.

In the fall of 2020, 14 men were arrested across three states in a series of FBI raids that shocked the nation. The government alleged that these men conspired to kidnap, and possibly even kill, the sitting governor of Michigan, Gretchen Whitmer. But is that really what happened?

On season 7 of Chameleon, we’ll explore that notorious plot to kidnap governor Whitmer from its inception by taking listeners on an unprecedented journey inside the investigation. Through hundreds of hours of wire recordings that have never been heard by the public, you’ll ride along in the pocket of an FBI informant posing as a militia member, as he infiltrates an anti-government group that seems dangerous. But are they?

Was the plot to kidnap governor Whitmer the sophisticated plan the government said it was, or just the stoned fantasies of a group of down-on-their-luck gun nuts? Did the FBI stop a dangerous plot in motion…or did it help to create it?
