In a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE), Rogan was shocked when he learned from his guest that in the corporate world buying a private jet is often considered a red flag and is a key fraud indicator.
In episode #2274 of JRE, the UFC commentator sat down with former CIA covert operations officer Mike Baker. The duo discussed a number of issues, including cryptocurrency scams and untraceable funds.
They also discussed the several methods by which money is laundered and how some companies make massive purchases like a jet to launder money at times, which is an indication of possible corporate fraud.
In the episode, Baker said:

"By the way, when a company buys a jet it is usually a key fraud indicator."
To which Rogan hilarious remarked and asked:
"All companies? UFC bought a jet."
Baker replied and stated that “not all companies” buying a private jet commit financial or corporate fraud. He further clarified that if the business is a startup and they purchase a jet in the early stages, it is possibly a sign of fraud.
However, Baker also clarified that purchasing a jet is not a sign of fraud for large corporations like Nike or the UFC as they are capable of making such large and clean purchases.

When Joe Rogan shared his experience of flying in a fighter jet
In a previous episode of The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE), Rogan talked with his guest about his first experience flying in a fighter jet with the U.S. Navy Blue Angels. The UFC commentator highlighted how difficult it is to remain conscious when flying a fighter jet and how the pilots must possess exceptional physical strength to man such a powerful vehicle, saying:
"I flew in one of those ones with the Blue Angels. God, it’s insane when you realize what those jets can do and I think what they were flying was like an F/A-18… I think they have more capable jets now... You gotta be a bad mother****er to fly those things... It’s so fast there is so much power and force behind those things."
