  • Brigitte has more dollars th an sense

    Brigitte is an idiot with too much money. She complains about the legal system and she can’t trust it but she blindly follows an idiot all due to her ego. Who gives that sort of money to someone they don’t really know. I have no sympathy. You can’t blame someone else for your own stupidity.

  • Annoyed?

    I didn’t enjoy this podcast and I think it was the reporting. There was a lot of duplicate storytelling so it felt like maybe a two/three episode podcast series stretched way too long. Especially for the payoff unless I missed something. I did skip around the last episode because I was really over the story.

  • That was it?

    This never ending story dragged on and on for 6 hours - is it over? Is that it? I just want it to be over but we need a conclusion. This could have been done in one or two episodes.

  • Extraordinary

    This amazing story pulls back the curtain on the lives of European aristocracy and their dirty laundry… It’s a compelling story about a con artist that must be in the Swindler Hall of Fame!!

Frequently Asked Questions About Fraudacious
