I love that you feature obscure people that I’ve never heard of. Your videos are very interesting and you are a great narrator. Keep up the good work! 😊

With the slow moving news and no real technology I am amazed they caught all of them. The first forgery should have been alternate identities for later. Hind sight is 20-20. Thanks for the great story!

Another really interesting vid! I’ve always known that if you act like you belong, or do it with great confidence, people take you at your own value and you get away with it! If only they hadn’t been so greedy and had gotten out earlier, they would have walked away with millions. Fools!

[@francescaleone2954]

Good story. Greed destroyed them. They couldn’t just stop when they had plenty. They wanted more. I’m not saying what they did was not wrong. But they could have gotten away with it had they stopped earlier.

[@ForgottenLives]

Indeed! Had they stopped earlier they would have got away with it!
