Crockefeller: The Story of a Killer Con Man

How many times have we seen it—a rich and/or powerful person gets
in some kind of hot water, and all it takes is a quick “Do you know
who I AM?” to fix it? I don’t really get why people are so dazzled
by money and pedigree, but it seems to be a constant theme
throughout history—and it’s as alive today as it’s ever been. So
it’s not a big surprise that some people who lack money and
connections decide to fake them, and do so with great success.
Learn the right way to dress, the right names to drop, the right
places to go, and you might just sneak your way into the club. A
skilled con artist can rise pretty high if they know what they’re
doing. And some of them are so determined to run with the cool kids
that they’re willing to murder anybody who gets in their way. Join
us for the story of one of the strangest cons in American history—a
tale of fraud, murder, kidnapping, and fake identities that spanned
more than thirty years.
