Summary

Written by a model from the transcript; not yet reviewed.

In this episode of Scam Goddess, host Laci Mosley is joined by comedian Langston Kerman to discuss listener stories, celebrity culture, and the fraudulent exploits of Jonathan Dupiton. Dupiton, a podcaster who ran a show called Rich and Unemployed and used the acronym FRAD to stand for finally rich after unstoppable determination, was sentenced to seven years in prison for multi-million-dollar fraud schemes involving both SNAP benefits and COVID-19 unemployment insurance. The conversation explores Dupiton's bizarre fitness and motivation videos, his faux-private jet AI clips, and compares his hustle to other legendary celebrity grifts. The hosts also dive into a listener letter about a bank teller who befriended a woman secretly funding violence in Cameroon, and conclude with the weekly segment featuring a New York Knicks fan who got fired after being caught on camera stealing a city trash can during championship celebrations.

  • Fraudsters often package their cons behind motivational speeches, fitness branding, and hustle culture rhetoric. 24:22
