They should make a film about his life.

[@michaelmurphy834]

Conspiracy theory - he’s still conning everyone .

[@jamierolls1919]

This guy is a pathological liar. Even when there are no consequences, he can not tell the truth.

[@eXpressYourselfClips]

Hyperbolical throughout this entire clip

[@gerardomorales4913]

Everything he says almost has paperwork 😂🤣homes, prison… exes…😂🤣they’ve all spoken…

[@lexchess6453]

@@gerardomorales4913this guy has lied his entire life about everything, but he must have completely changed and now everything he says is true. From sociopath to honest man, just like that!

[@Chris-es3wf]

​@@lexchess6453Sounds like you're ironically jealous he's actually done SOMETHING in his life. Such a weird thing to get triggered by. Pretty sure the story is true, squid.

[@caisearbhan4738]

I agree wholeheartedly. It's difficult to follow this person's thoughts and communication. They come across as incredibly disorganized and confusing (to me). Apart from perhaps conducting a psychological analysis, I fail to see any value in LF conversing with them.

[@justinreyes4399]

Matt cox actually got a good hair transplant.

[@krucial88]

I started watching Matts podcast after watching this and Matt may have changed but i grew up with a dad who was a scammer and friends aswell. I know for a fact he still thinks about ways he can scam , Im sure he thinks the better of it but someone with that scammer mindset it never goes away . You always think you can outsmart ppl in any situation . Also im not saying Matts bad person by any means but i know how these guys think . If he has friends or anyone that he trusts i guarantee when he sees a way to scam some system I bet he whispers to them how he would do it. When you are like that you never stop thinking on how to outsmart a system in place. Btw id love too be able to pick his mind abit cause hes way above any conman/scam artist ive ever known.

[@MusicN808s]

It’s not a scammer mindset .. it’s just the mindset of someone with a skillset they can no longer use. I’m sure a gymnast who loses his limbs can find himself in a park some decades later whispering to some kid how to better their somersaults..

[@dhacker0921]

This is definitely the Ozark guy

[@amont2]

ozark guy was an accountant?

[@getbeyondfit]

This guy is such a con he's probably only telling 50% of the truth even now.

Funny that it's illegal for him to do but it's legal for financing companies or whatever.

I didn't know construction workers weren't legitimate people. You learn something new every day

Crazy that people like you get offended that he’s speaking facts almost all housing construction workers are illegal…. Especially in the early 2000s. Awww you gunna cry over facts

@@Chris-es3wf the Puerto Rican girl ? Identity theft is no laughing matter

[@JordanKolberg]

@@gerardomorales4913I had my identity stolen. Ruined my credit, hacked all of my accounts, frozen my bank, hacked all of my emails and locked me out, lost my PSN that had $10,000 worth of games on it, and I never got any of that back. I have my ID, SS card, birth certificate, etc. and all of these corporations accuse me of trying to hack the account back from the hacker (who they now say is me). I can’t explain how much identity theft will ruin your life. I also thought it wouldn’t happen to me.

[@timwhite5562]

He throws out a lot of full names. This isn't the type you want to be pulling crimes with, or even know him enough for him to know your name.

[@Chris-es3wf]

Bro these are 20+ years old crimes and everyone he's mentioned has already gotten caught...

[@timwhite5562]

@@Chris-es3wffirstly, criminals don't like they're names being thrown around at all, let alone in this context, be it 20 days or twenty years ago. It's not just out of fear of being arrested or prosecuted. It's that you got out 15-20 years ago and were able to put a life together, and there's some guy you did shady shit bragging about it on a podcast that s few million people might here. Then take that and multiply it by the amount of people that are brought up. But it wasn't even them I was thinking of, it's the scattered citizens that appear throughout the tale. That's an unusual thing to do, even for full-on rat POS's that rolled over on everyone, but were able to get a light sentence and then capitalize on the infamy. Even they will be careful not give out too much information about these ancillary players. This guy names EVERYONE, first name and last, regardless of the role they played. Imagine clicking on a video and seeing some guy you cashed a couple checks for a decade ago throwing your name up in this story. Even if what you did wasn't illegal, your inclusion in the story is enough to cause you trouble. If you're not aware that people love getting just the bare minimum facts, if that at all, and run wild online with it, then you haven't been paying attention. Who wants that shit out there? I keep asking myself why he's doing it like this. It's certainly not because he's oblivious, he understands the implications to giving out people's names, he defrauded millions of dollars exploiting people's identities. It doesn't change the story at all to use a different name for people that aren't directly involved, or at the very least just use a nickname. So why do it?

[@Chris-es3wf]

@timwhite5562 everything he said is PUBLICALLY AVAILABLE Information. If you don't want people to know that you're a criminal, then don't commit crimes. Sad that wokeness is so prevalent that you're worried about hurting the feelings of felons...

[@timwhite5562]

You definitely haven't watched much of the video, because he throws out other people's names constantly just within the clips, it's the reason I posted that comment to begin with. This has nothing to do with woke, it's about having some sociopath that you crossed paths with years before in the course of him ripping off banks throwing your name out years later with zero consideration as to what that cause. The guy didn't suddenly stop being a scumbag after getting released from prison, it doesn't work that way. If you can't conceptualize that, then I don't know what to tell you. Live another ten or twenty years and it eventually will.

[@Chris-es3wf]

@@timwhite5562 I listened to all 6 hours, champ. It sounds like you're a criminal with a chip on his shoulder. Something to hide?
