Episode Description
On this episode of the Bubba The Love Sponge® Podcast, FBI Special Agent Tom Simon. 
 
 Most people assume criminals know they’re the bad guys. According to a former FBI agent, that assumption is completely wrong. In this episode of The Bubba the Love Sponge Podcast, retired FBI Special Agent Tom Simon explains why suspects almost never see themselves as villains, and how understanding that mindset is often the key to getting the truth. Drawing from decades of federal investigations, Tom breaks down the psychology behind confessions, why empathy consistently outperforms intimidation, and how investigators help suspects explain their actions in a way they can live with. The conversation goes far beyond interrogation tactics. Tom shares firsthand insight into how FBI cases are actually built, how agents prepare long before a knock on the door, and why most confessions happen well before paperwork is signed. He also discusses major fraud cases, common investigative mistakes, and what television and movies consistently get wrong about federal law enforcement. This is a wide-ranging, inside-the-room discussion about criminal psychology, identity, and the real mechanics of federal investigations, told by someone who spent decades doing the job.
