Questions About This Episode

What is 279: Wrath - The Dead Man’s Switch about?

In 1977, inside a quiet mortgage office in Indianapolis, Tony Kiritsis strapped a shotgun to his mortgage broker's neck, rigged it to a dead-man’s switch, and turned a personal grievance into one of the most disturbing standoffs in American history. For hours, police, negotiators, and a stunned public watched as Kiritsis dared anyone to make the wrong move. This week on Seven Deadly Sinners , we dissect the anatomy of obsession, grievance, and pride — how a financial dispute metastasized into a public spectacle fueled by paranoia and control. When a bank takes advantage of a customer, they never expect to end up on the other end of the barrel. From the psychological unraveling to the media circus that amplified every second, this episode explores wrath at its most theatrical—and most tragic.
