They Stole His $1B Company While He Was on His Deathbed

He was dying. They thought he wouldn’t survive. So they stole his $1B company.

Adel Sayegh built a billion-dollar business from nothing—pioneering security tag technology, facial recognition, and GPS tracking. But while he lay on his deathbed battling pancreatic cancer, the people he trusted most betrayed him.

They drained his accounts, forged documents, and used his assets to rack up debt. The result? A complete collapse of the empire he spent decades building.

In this raw, emotional episode, Adel shares the true story of how he lost everything—and why he wouldn’t trade the experience for anything. From surviving terminal illness to finding unshakable peace through his faith, this is one of the most unbelievable stories ever told on the podcast.
