My heart goes out to all these women! I pray he’s locked up for life he’s not worthy living in the real world he’s a monster who better not grr we t a second chance at society! It will be much worse if he gets out he’s psycho. Ladies never give men $ red flag when they ask run.

Where is he now? I was engaged to him 2008 t0 2009/10. Now he is looking old which is apropo. He ruined my life because I felt sorry for him, and I also was educated, and spiritual. I tried to put him on the right track, because I cared for him - knowing good can over come dysfunction and evil. I am hoping he has matured, and he can turn his life around. That's it. All I wanted to say,

I can not believe that the only crime he is being charged with is identity theft!!! Should be fraudulent money laundering or some major crime!!! He stole over a million $!!! Just because he came up with a good con doesn’t make it legal!!!!! I hope he runs into a Lorena Bobbitt or a crazy crazy vigilante!!!!

Apparently you don’t know what money laundering is. The exact idea of a con is that’s it’s not illegal which is the whole point. They know the laws.

I can't believe this creep isn't in jail. WTF is wrong with the courts? They gave him a slap on the wrist and set him free. No wonder he's still defrauding women. I've known scumbags, but this guy takes the cake! Women need to realize that there are worse things in life than being alone.

I agree! I feel for these women. He deserves to be in jail or dead bc of what he has done. If it’s too good to be true, 99.99% of the time it is! Ladies, you don’t need a man. Yes finding true love is an amazing gift. BUT why the rush? I don’t understand. PLEASE women learn from these Womens horrors that they went through and take your time to get to know someone before you marry them. Hell vet every damn man you date in today’s world. Most humans in general cannot be trusted. I’m so sorry for all the pain he has caused. Thank you for being brave and telling your story. Hopefully, no other woman doesn’t have to go through this. I hate to break it to everyone, I guarantee there are tons of men just like him out there, just preying on innocent women who want to be loved! LOVE YOURSELF FIRST, you can’t pour from an empty cup. Please get your side of the street clean and in COMPLETE order before you decide to take on someone else’s life. Praying he’s caught. Wishing all of you ladies peace, justice and love. Love comes when you least expect it, remember that.

I get that The money he stole from the women he was married to is not fraudulent… But what about the bigamy marriages? The wives that he married to second, should be able to charge him with fraud, because technically they were not legally married.

He's not in jail because he didn't really do much wrong legally speaking. He's a total ballbag and a bit of a creep. To be honest, I'm not sure what's going on. The guy's not exactly a catch is he? Like, it sounds horrible I know but he must be packing some serious heat or something. Even his personality, he comes across as a liar and a total melt.

Got a quick question. Since he was not legally married to many of the women (due to polygamy), wouldn't the theft be considered grand larceny since its over 5,000 (cash value) on each account?

I’m no legal expert or an attorney, however my father is a retired litigator (trial attorney). He said it depends on the state. It also depends on the victim following through with litigation. Litigation is expensive. If it’s $5000, it’s usually not worth the time, energy, and money for somebody to collect on the debt owed due to all of these attorneys fees.These women, realistically, could only Collect their money if they have an attorney willing to take their case pro bono or on Contingency...not likely ...because he he’s not collectible. But that would be a civil case.
Hello Angela
9/12/2020 01:17:37 pm
Yes, but it’s a matter of finding an attorney who cares and finding police to care. That is the problem right there. AND, if you hire an attorney, how is one going to pay for that since he just stole your money? AND, he doesn’t pay any restitution.
McKenzie
9/14/2020 09:43:46 am
I agree with you 100%! I was only trying to explain the reality of the situation. It really would be nice to get some of this money returned to these women. But, I feel the only way to get justice and punish this man is to lock him up. In order to Get him pay the money back he will need to be trusted to go earn an honest living and That he will cease conning other women. I don’t believe he’s capable of doing that, from all I’ve read about him.

Watching Love Fraud. I’ve had several relationships that I investigated red flags immediately and caught them in the midst of lying about who they really were (character wise), one even somehow got my SSN, but he made the mistake of giving me the name of a long time friend, who was an attorney, so I called and told him everything this guy was trying to play off on me, re; where he lived, his “business” that turned out to be his fathers, the only thing the friend would confirm is that this guy was lying to me, even down to how his last name was spelled and said the only thing he could say was to get as FAR away from the dude as possible....and this was from a childhood friend!

It takes a lot longer than 3 months to get to know the "true person" you're with. Try more like a year; and even that is not necessarily enough. People's presentation of self are invariably managed in various situations.

Watching Love Fraud, i’ve dated very unskilled con men before. My senses are always on high alert when I start dating someone. I investigate anything I find as a red flag. ie, anything that seems like a farce, or too good to be true. My experience has convinced me that anyone that is trying to form a relationship in light speed time is hiding something. Especially if they are telling you they love you within a few dates/weeks of knowing you and telling friends and family that they want to marry you. I believe the quicker they try and solidify a commitment they more they are hiding who that are and think if they’ve got you in a commitment when the truth starts revealing itself then you too far in it to leave. Bullshit. It takes at least about 3 months to truly see who a person is. Liars and fake people can only wear the mask for so long and rarely make it past the “honeymoon” phase of a new relationship before the true them is shown.

I was a victim of a narcissist for 8 yrs. He looked me in the eyes daily for that long and had me convinced. I was IN LOVE and BLIND for 6.5 of 8 yrs. Had 2 baby girls with him. He slowly took everything and I STILL STAYED! FOR 8 YRS we were straight broke! Got evicted so many times, got cars repoed, kids missed out on memories and life with me cus we were always in bad situations constantly fighting to survive, that wasnt enough so he took my car to cheat, let the bitches key it up like I did THEM wrong! AND of course that was not enough for him so last October we ended up living in a tent with our kids for a month because of him and he is in his 40s and 7 yrs older then me. I then seen it all and right then and there my love for him was gone, and boom i seen it all! I ACTUALLY caught him sneaking out the tent to CHEAT on me! Were fucking homeless and ur cheating on me and sneaking out of the tent! LOSERS! Most will say I'm dumb cus they have but I gave all kindness still do and I am just stronger wiser and needed that to wise me up and prepare me for a first true marriage. They said God might do something YOU DON'T WANT to put you on the path YOU NEED TO BE ON! ❤️ Love all you women prayers for you all!

I was professionally involved with a con artist who nearly ruined my life professionally, stole thousands from me, and conned and stole millions like this guy did, from HUNDREDS of people. She was a Macedonian national who was here on a student visa, and then here illegally, and has gotten away with it since it started in 2007 — she would move around like this guy, still lives in the US and is still conning people. Never gone to jail for what she’s done. I’ve been looking for someone to do a podcast or documentary about her because the story is just so unbelievable — there’s blogs about her online as well (name is Ivana Ristova, Ivana Simone among others, google “Ivana Ristova Pianist”) I’m so glad to see this documentary out someone like her, because the fact people like this get away with this and that the legal system doesn’t properly deal with this is just so mind numbing!!

The documentary is fabulous. Can't wait for the final episode. All the ladies are incredibly brave for coming forward and 1) going after him to take back what's yours; 2) talking among yourself; 3) actively seeking out other victims and 4) NOT remaining silent. That's what he was counting on. He obviously doesn't believe in karma. But one day soon this will all catch up with him. One day he'll screw over the wrong woman and she'll end this.

I think he has a hard time connecting or feeling any kind of love because he’s living a lie. After watching the last episode and watching his mannerisms and speech, I believe he’s gay. He’s not out yet, he’s afraid of living his truth. In his jail house interview he kept giving hints about wanting people to know the real him.

Hi, This film is showen on Swedish television. It is shocking. I am wondering - is bigamist really legal in the US? Can he not be charged for bigami? Also, is there not a case of fraud, once it is clear that he marries several women and leaves them once he has taken their money? This all seems very strange, indeed. I hope he can get caught again and tried for real, for what he has done.

I saw the documentary. Did anyone not stop and think is this guy gay? Cos that's 100% the vibe I got from him throughout the whole show. He's so effeminate. He's definitely got issues which I think is tied in with some sort of sexual orientation denial. Also how did the women fall for him I'll never know. He is the creepiest looking thing I've ever seen. That one blinky eye gave me the heebeejeebees and his constant throat clearing at the same time wad just as irritating af.

AND, thank you to all who have taken the time to show your support for the victims. By the way, some of the press keeps getting it wrong with the identity theft case. He served only probation for that. The judge sentenced 10 months Or probation and he got the probation. It was only if he screwed up and violated his probation that the judge would revoke it and then he would have had to serve jail time. Well, several years ago while he was on probation for that case, he decided to cross state lines into Tennessee. One important detail, he didn’t tell anyone he was going there. The idiot was then listed as a fugitive in Kansas. He was apprehended in Knoxville and transported back to Des Moines, Iowa (because he violated his probation regarding the assault case) and the judge revoked his probation and sentenced him to 6 months in jail. After he was released from jail April 2019 (in Des Moines) he was transported back down to Johnson County for his probation violation sentencing hearing. Well guess what, the judge decided to give him 18 more months probation and not jail. WTF? I guess you get a hall pass in Kansas for being a fugitive. How many more get out of jail free cards does this asshole get?? It’s ridiculous!!

I met him as Mickey Smith in Wichita, Kansas and owner of Krab Kingz. He is definitely a smooth talker. He stopped communicating with me after I questioned him about several inconsistencies and when he told me overnight he was living in his car and got angry with me when I told him he couldn't move in with me after 2 dates. He went from owner of a restaurant and gettinf a multi million door settlement from a doctor that supposedly screwed up his face and he sued, to living in his car and desperate for a place to stay. Thank God I actually listened to my inner voice for once. He can be quite the charmer, so I can completely understand why he had a string of survivors in his path!!

I dated a narcissist for 3 months. Very attractive, successful. He wined and dined me. Took me to Vegas for my 30th birthday. Dinner on the rooftop at Mandalay Bay, shopping trips with a nice Burberry as a gift. He threw me a birthday party and put up a happy birthday banner. I felt so special and loved. But he moved really really fast. My friends were all so concerned but I ignored them. He started becoming controlling and possessive and tried to alienate me from everyone. The narcissistic rage came out when I called him out on his behavior. I remember getting in an argument with him and looked in his eyes and they looked black. Zero empathy and it scared me. He tried to talk me into going into a little side business with him and wanted me to invest a few thousand dollars. I said nope! Not comfortable with that! After one of many fights, he threatened me and said “I know where you walk your dog at night.” I filed a police report and once he found out, he filed one on me for who knows what. And I was never bothered by him again. It’s the same story with these con men. His name is Nick Delessio. My heart goes out to all of the victims. I’m rooting for you all and pray he’s caught and thrown in jail where he belongs.

I honestly believe that the judges, who are likely white old men, have brought in their biases towards women, and allowing it to cloud their judgement. They may believe that the women are desperate, naive, love starved, etc. What they fail to realize is that he’s an excellent con man, and he so good he cons the judges as well! Can anyone say that since Smith is a white male he gets a slap on the wrist? If he was black his arse would be rotting in jail. Same thing if it’s any minority.

These people are brilliant at preying on others...specifically the most vulnerable. They can walk into a room and read every person within minutes. These women should not be shamed.

Just saw this on Tamron Hall. Have never been on a blog. But decided to take a look as my best friend who passed about 12 years ago was scammed by 4 people that I know of. What really is terrible, is that 2 of them were people I know. One married to one of my brother's best friends. I was not told about them. I'll never know what they said, to get her to not tell me that they were living with her. She was terminally ill with cancer. For quite a while I might add. Also paid for a man from Germany to move St. Louis. All lies. We tried to tell her. Back then we did not know of blogs or would have intervened.

Claire, fraud would have been entailed, and she would have needed some luck on automatic notices to Jim from the custodian of his 401k, but Karla could conceivably have done it Everything is done online these days. She would have needed his sign in credentials. If she has those, she liquidates his account and requests the proceeds to be deposited in a joint account, all online. It would take three days or so for that to happen. If he doesn’t get email notices of sales in his account in the meantime, or ignores them, she takes the money out of the joint account when it hits. Bye bye Jim, hello Krab Kingz. Have to say. Jim was super understanding.

She had no clue for over a year when she went to file her taxes In looked at her statement for contributions. The ironic part of it is ....she’s a very high executive and works for one of the 4 major credit card companies. This was almost 4 years ago. She will never be the same again.

I reason they included the scripture question is because it proved what one of the women said about when he gets caught lying that he stutters and clears his throat a lot. He did that after talking about praying every single day all day and when asked something very simple that a person of faith would be able to answer he just got uncomfortable and started hacking. They definitely could have pushed harder but my guess is they didn’t want him to pull out of the documentary so they got the best they could without pissing him off.

After seeing his behavior in episode 4’s jailhouse interview, it is apparent this guy feels no remorse because he does not think he’s done ANYTHING wrong. He sees himself as the one and only victim and it is apparent he feels nothing for each and every woman he’s had in his life. He doesn’t even remember how many women he’s married. None of them were special to him. It’s not about them. They are trash that he’s used and thrown away so he can move on to his next victim. He clearly stated any relationship he engages in is all about what HE wants (to be wanted, loved, etc) and not about what he can offer to someone else. It is clear in his behavior that he only sees women as a means to an end. They are to be used because he know exactly how to use them. He knows what these women want to hear, and he absolutely loves conning them. It is what brings him perverse joy. It is what makes him a psychopath and a sociopath. He has no empathy for anyone other than himself. The one and only way to stop him is to expose him. But he knows how to play the system, and he will NEVER change. He doesn’t know how to be anyone else, and he’s perfectly happy and CONFIDENT in his abilities. He unfortunately will continue to destroy everyone he touches. It infuriates me that people like him exist. But, there are people who want to believe everything he says and are hopelessly comfortable with him speeding things along way too fast - until it’s too late for them to stop it all. As long as people like this a-hole exist, we all need to watch out for each other. We’re all collectively called KARMA. He doesn’t care about you or me. But we collectively care about each other. So let’s all watch each other’s backs.

It's relevant that he is probably a homosexual, because he truly is looking for love and belonging. He is trying to go thru woman after woman to push those feelings down. That is why why, when they do not "cure" him and he still feels his gay tendencies, after the dopamine of the first "few dates", he is mad and steals their money, etc. BECAUSE HE FEELS SCAMMED! it's so deep and the stuff serial killers are made of!!! My prayers to everyone he hurt and will continue to hurt in the future. I pray its only money and dignity, not their lives that they lose.

The best part of this was watching the women come together and work with each other for closure and supporting everyone affected. One of the most beautiful documentaries I have ever seen because instead of reacting out of confusion or anger (which I am sure some did) these women came together to spread truth in attempt to protect other women and uplift the survivors. Thank you for showing another side how women can come together after a narcissist hurricane, you are all beautiful.

I can only speak for myself but the sex was ok. Nothing special. I thought he was gay at first too. He would sit in the bathtub every night in the middle of the night and insist you sit and watch. In complete darkness and silence he’d just stare at you. And sometimes he’d cry. It was psycho.

I didn’t think they were weird questions and I was just curious. Then you end with “fair question.” Which is it: weird or fair? Furthermore, boats sink for a reason and someone surely knows just not you. That’s ok. Seems like you replied only to give zeros answers to my questions. Thanks? Maybe I’ll make a documentary about people who like to think they have all the answers, but really have zero answers. You can be my first interview.

I recorded the 4th episode of "Love Fraud" & I'm watching it right now, specifically Richard Scott Smith's "self-defense". I've read a lot about psychopathy, having a sociopath in my family. Smith has some very obvious 'tells' when he lies (a facial tic on the right, a cough/clearing the throat, 'blocking' motions of his hands/arms). The more he talked to the documentary's producers, the more he lied and his tics got so bad he almost became unintelligible! He acted & spoke like a typical psychopath, taking no responsibility, denying any wrong-doing, showing no understanding of the effects of his actions on others. As the ending implies, Smith will never stop. He will spend the rest of his life conning and grifting, however he has a violent side that unfortunately could cause him to grievously hurt or possibly kill someone. I hope some misfortune befalls him long before he reaches that point & before he has too many more victims. Maybe the novel coronavirus will get him. Or he gets a brain tumor from all his telephoning (as Carla the bounty hunter said!)

Speaking for myself when I met him eight years ago he looked much different. He was obviously younger, had more hair no face paralysis and no tics. He was very charismatic, charming, funny and treated me like a princess. But he had some really weird habits and I started catching him in lies. And the crying was a huge turn off.

( spoiler ) loved the ending where he kept naming all the women he forgotten he had married ... and how victimized he was .. like #BunkerBitchDonnie has been . Civil courts are pretty useless when it comes to this type of con-artist because it end up their words against his. Once you are married the property is considered joint ..there is no recourse.

It is interesting how there seems to be so many different opinions. For myself I felt Lee was a heavy alcoholic before the end of the phone call with Jean and I thought that Scott looked like women may not be his true deep down preference during the raw footage in Knoxville and far before the jail interview that some think was a hoax. If the twitching was indeed false then he certainly is a very good manipulator however there weren’t any other prior scenes of him speaking directly to the camera for any length of time to develop a baseline for comparison as a viewer.

Scott is at the very least bisexual. He and I used to love huffing poppers and breeding each others backsnatches. There was another guy who used to join us, Preston Manzy, who was Scott's meth hook up(Ive never been into the stuff). He was a frequent user, and when he did he was a complete bottom. There were times that Preston would essentially whore Scott out all night, getting him hooked on meth so he became a jizzle juice junkie.

I mean thanks to the woman who pointed out his coughing and stuttering tell when he’s lying…. Lmao! Not that it was some really well hidden tell (and not to mention he’s lying the entire time) but it’s actually a real insight into how his brain works cause that’s the only time when u can say “oh.. he doesn’t believe what he’s saying right there!” The rest of the bullshit he prob believes more than 60% of what he’s saying hence the sociopath label! As a straight man from the south this guy makes me want to start my own blog/group to track him and hunt him down to actively approach him with his victims and call him out in front of them before they get got and then tie him up for a min while each woman gets to repeatedly kick him in his little woman abusing balls over and over again until they feel a little redemption!!

This piece of dog shit is ABSOLUTELY a disgusting excuse for a human. He's 100% homosexual, but knew he had to lie to insecure women, because he knew that he couldn't pull the wool over a fellow man's eyes. He knows how to distinctly prey on the weaknesses of a woman's heart. Everyone wants to feel wanted and needed and sometimes we are blind to the truth. This DISGUSTING, GROTESQUE CRYBABY, needs to suffer the rest of his horrid existence. To all the women that were conned, remember, there's no better lesson than one that we have to pay for, whether financially or otherwise.

Hi. I know this is very late however I'm a Forensic Accounting student watching the documentary series and currently writing a report on Romance Fraud. I'm curious as to why he can only get done for identity theft? I saw a comment saying it's why it's called a con - it's not illegal. In the UK (where I live) I'm sure this could be prosecuted under 'fraud by misrepresentation' of the Fraud Act. My heart goes out to the victim and while it's well known that fraud has very weak punishments, surely he can get prison time for the magnitude of the proceeds he obtained from this fraud. Can someone educate me on the US laws and why this is not the case?
