Anyone watch this? Thoughts? I see the women are getting a bit of a hard time on social media for being gullible. I can kind of see where people are coming from but it is still a bit Victim Blamey. He clearly picked his targets well and was very good at what he did

When serial killers get fan mail and marriage requests things like this are no surprise

If he found people stupid enough to give him money like that, then all power to him.

Really? That's pretty harsh. You could say that about any fraudsters - people who con elderly people out of money, those phone scams etc Yeah, you might think "oh I'd never fall for something like that" and maybe you wouldn't (and I don't think I would either) but that doesn't make it OK. It doesn't make it OK to lie to people to get money from them and it's certainly against the law to "borrow" money from someone and then not pay it back, which is what he did even if you accept that it's their own fault for believing the lies about why he needed to borrow it.

Cherie have you watched Inventing Anna yet? Looks kind of a similar-ish story. I might give that one a watch next

i haven't watched it yet, but there are so many examples across an entire spectrum. Trump has used similar tactics all his life and is still getting away with it
People think that attaching themselves to someone who appears to be wealthy will benefit them and it rarely does Last edited by bitontheslide; 14-02-2022 at 01:02 PM. |

He is quite nerdy looking as well, the money was definately a factor

I think it was the whole persona, the money, being well traveled, exciting and a little bit of danger

This show’s title just makes me think of Tilda Swinton!

It was definitely interesting - left a few unanswered questions for me though, I don't know that we got the full story, there are a few holes in it in my opinion.
My biggest one being, how were the credit card companies being duped into handing out platinum cards with six figure limits off the back of a few presumably entirely fabricated payslips as proof of income? The second being that it said at the end the women were "still paying off these debts"... When credit cards are supposed to be protected against all sorts of fraud . And the question of "the lady on the plane" was never answered. In general though yeah the story really is about materialism all round. Him shaping his entire life around being this fake entity just for the lifestyle. The women he duped were definitely brought under the spell by the money and lifestyle also... There were no broken hearts here, just broken credit and smashed dreams of a wealthy life. I say that without judgement really. And I don't think they were gullible, the way he was running it made it all completely plausible, he was flying each of them around in private jets for months before taking any money from them... Of course they would believe he was who he said he was. |
