In similar true crime style, I'd say:
The Dropout (Elizabeth Holmes and the Theranos debacle)
Swindled (scandals plus other one-off interesting cases like the coughing major on Who wants to be a Millionaire)
Gangster Capitalism (series one was the college admissions scandal in the States)
The Heiress (BBC series about Anna Delvey)
Blood Sport (BBC series on Olympic doping scandal)
I also enjoyed Gateway and Guru, both about self-help gurus and Wind of Change, which believe it or not investigates the possibility that the CIA were involved in making Wind of Change by the Scorpions.

The immaculate deception was very good. About the fertility doctor in the Netherlands who was using his own sperm.

Not quite the same thing, but I loved CryptoQueen and we are addicted to the Futility Closet series.... lots of historical "mysteries" etc

Great Post Office Robbery--a really important true story and we'll told. Will make you really angry at Post Office bigwigs!

The drop out, The fake heiress both very good, and similar to the OneCoin one.

Death in Ice Valley, who the hell is Hamish, Where is George Gibney.

Another two recommendations:

The Lazarus Heist - which is about the North Korean Sony hack, and their raid on the Bangladesh national bank

A Death in Cryptoland (CBC Podcasts)

There is a BBC one about Brits who ended up trapped in the siege of Waco. It's tough story but riveting.
