Price Gouging | Targeting Seniors | Jeff Koons
Price Gouging – A 60 MINUTES investigation looks into how the Pentagon, and taxpayers, get taken advantage of by U.S. defense contractors. Bill Whitaker sits down with former top contract negotiator Shay Assad, who says the accountability system in the Dept of Defense is broken, and major defense companies are flush with excess cash to hand out to shareholders.
Targeting Seniors – Cyber con artists using artificial intelligence, apps, and social engineering are targeting parents and grandparents, scamming them out of what now totals 10 billion dollars a year in America. Sharyn Alfonsi speaks with victims, law enforcement, and technology consultants about ways to protect seniors from these widespread cons.
Jeff Koons – Anderson Cooper profiles Jeff Koons, one of the world's most prominent and polarizing artists. Known for making sculptures and paintings inspired by everyday objects or famous characters, his works can take decades to create and push the boundaries of technology and sometimes taste. Koons shows Cooper some of his latest work at a stone workshop in Pennsylvania and his studio in New York, where he gives 60 MINUTES a look at what he hopes will be a permanent art exhibit on the moon.

Storage Wars
Storage Wars follows professional buyers and their teams as they scour repossessed storage units in search of hidden treasure. Part gamblers, part detectives, these auction pros have found everything from coffins to the world's most valuable comic book collection, paying as little as ten dollars for items valued in the millions.
Each episode of Storage Wars follows a group of bidders as they get a quick peek inside the units, aided only by the beam of a flashlight. They then must assess on the spot if the unit is worth a bid and how high they will actually go to grasp the gold. The high-stakes fun begins as we see if the resulting buy is full of mostly trash... or true treasure.
