Thank you for treating victims of fraud with respect. I honestly think the lack of empathy is one of the biggest problems with how stories like these are typically told.

2022-09-14 00:20:42 +0000 UTCI think she was in on it the whole time. The last line of recent the documentary of her talking to him in prison made me think she knew

2022-09-02 01:52:13 +0000 UTCShe is not a "gullible idiot," she was abused and manipulated by this man with malicious intent.

2022-05-23 06:13:04 +0000 UTCShe is a gullible idiot and he is a narcissistic psychopath. She should have known better when he asked for the first 10k or for sure when it didnt get paid back

2022-03-22 17:37:42 +0000 UTCI don’t get the Tom Brady comment
Laura Knapp
2022-03-21 18:08:59 +0000 UTCI thought I was all caught up with my Patreon podcasts so you can imagine it was great conciliation to see this.
Andrea Johnson
2022-03-20 22:24:04 +0000 UTCFirst of all…welcome back! Secondly, I’m a new subscriber & long time listener. The Vegan episode was great. I agree with you…food served at 100 degrees or whatever you said doesn’t sound all that great to me…unless I get a side of ranch dressing!!
Yolanda
2022-03-20 08:47:37 +0000 UTCJust shows how many people will fall for scammers and con men. In 2016 and 2020, millions of people fell for a grifter conman, with a string of failed marriages and businesses. And they still haven't learned. They are in a cult.

2022-03-19 16:21:01 +0000 UTCYay!! Berry exited that Season 6 vegan. It's purely souperlative content. This podcast beets all the rest. I eat it up.

2022-03-18 13:46:31 +0000 UTCAlec Baldwin's wife, she pretended to be Spanish for over a decade but she's actually from Boston and named Hillary. She used a fake accent and pretended to forget how to speak English in some interviews. Google "Hilaria Baldwin cucumber interview," she's totally loca!!!
Christine Mack
2022-03-18 01:50:52 +0000 UTCI'm perplexed. Anthony aka Shane is a weirdo. And giving him 100k here and there...I guess people think differently. I think that was all weird. He was weird and too different for me. Like all these tests she went through that he gave her. Hello?? Where's her head gone to? Come on!

Laura Sligar
2022-03-17 00:07:09 +0000 UTCWatching the first episode of the doc now… thanks ACC for making every Netflix show feel, um, superficial Also is every episode this season going to match up with a streaming doc?? Bc that would be ok!! ACC always provides the most excellent and grounding truth of fact background

Carrie
2022-03-16 18:59:17 +0000 UTCEvery time I listen I hear new details. I was driving when I heard this at 29:22 and almost drove off the road from laughing: "Every night at Pure Food and Wine, a different famous face was there . . . [rattles off names] and Gisele Bundchen and HER WIFE, Tom Brady." 🤣 Just love those little digs you slip in ACC!
Michelle Hebert
2022-03-16 18:10:21 +0000 UTCSuch a great episode. I especially loved the sly Clinton sting you snuck in there. Brilliant, professional job as always, CS.

2022-03-16 15:04:15 +0000 UTCIt's not often that I feel sorry for the main person of interest of an episode... But I really do feel sorry for her she seemed like a good person

Jo Jeffy
2022-03-16 01:12:16 +0000 UTCACC should sue Netflix for stealing his stories. First tinder swindler, then inventing Anna, now Bad Vegan?? 🤣🤣 Edit: I just listened to the end of this episode. This episode is an ad for bad vegan 😅
TJ Tiong
2022-03-16 00:48:29 +0000 UTC"Bill likes it raw . . . allegedly," about Bill Clinton. This is my favorite line so far. This is why I cherish ACC, for the subtle sarcastic gems that are carefully interwoven.
Michelle Hebert
2022-03-16 00:42:51 +0000 UTCYas!!!
Audrey Kennedy
2022-03-16 00:39:08 +0000 UTCIn light of all the events happening around the world currently, it’s nice knowing I can unwind listening to ACC talk about people being swindled and their lives ruined
Jeff Henry
