About this episode

YERRRR Daejon Love told women he played receiver for the 49ers. For FOUR YEARS. Nobody checked the roster. His "game film" was a screen recording off a TV. 26 women. $1.3 million. A fake Swiss fortune and an 18-year-old "investment adviser" telling them to take out loans. The boys break down how he kept it alive that long, whether the women were dumb or the con was just that good, and why this scam has a very specific casting requirement.
