Ian Bick became a nightclub owner at just 18 years old in Danbury Connecticut — and what followed was one of the most wild rides in the show's history. In this special episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Ian sits down with HBO and Netflix producer Jed Lipinski to tell his own complete story for the first time — raw unfiltered and completely honest. Ian walks through everything — from the spray foam prank that showed his entrepreneurial instincts early to launching prom nights teen raves and unexpected business ventures to the gambling that ate through a fortune to the accusations the legal disputes and ultimately the FBI arrest for running a Ponzi scheme. He opens up about navigating the trial the sentencing the plea deals and what federal prison at Fort Dix actually looked like from the inside. This is the episode his audience has been waiting for.
