My source is a lot of reading on Techdirt, and their source is the explanation in Three Felonies A Day: How the Feds Target the Innocent by Harvey Silverglate, but please, if you have doubts, I encourage you to dive deep.

Eh I would rather have had a discussion, summary or explanation than read a 400 page book for a random interesting claim

Here's the book if anyone's curious

https://www.amazon.com/Three-Felonies-Day-Target-Innocent/dp/1594035229

I couldn't find any Techdirt articles with substance in the claim, but I'm not going to listen to podcasts so maybe thats where any details of the claim are hidden
