I couldn’t believe the one woman met the guy for coffee for the first time and jetted off to Belgium within hours. If only I would have had a private jet back in the day!

I couldn't believe how gullible those women were. And that he only served a short time in jail and is now free and preying on other victims!

What he did was really nothing new.

He groomed them for months and made them believe he loved them and that he was in real danger unless they helped him with his money issues.

Don't blame the victims.

Another white male story. Swindles who knows how many women out of millions of dollars and ends up spending (no spoilers) in jail.

Out and about to con again.

As long as women are attracted to good looking, sweet talking men with money, there will always be another mark.

The guy is a genius at manipulation. Another one to watch is the Puppet Master. Chilling the amount of control this man had over his victims. Had them convinced he was a spy and literally held multiple people captive for years.
