My name is Matthew B. Cox and I’m a con man. I completed a lengthy prison sentence for a variety of bank fraud related charges, and I’m 100 percent guilty of them all. I heard an outrageous amount of stories. Some intrigued me and some didn’t. I tend to focus on the more unique, clever, and bizarre true crime stories.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Kevin Gates Impersonator on NBA YoungBoy, Arrests & Going Viral
Q: What sparked the Kevin Gates impersonation and how did it evolve?
The guest describes starting with short, impulsive skits that mimicked Kevin Gates and gradually refining the character to be tougher and more authentic, which helped him build a following and then branch into other impersonations like NBA YoungBoy.
Former "Cartel Crew" Member Reveals What Really Happens Behind the Scenes
Q: How do you view snitching and cooperation within your former organization?
Cooperation standards varied; many exploited the lack of a formal code, and the system heavily incentivized turning others in, which helped me understand the pressures and consequences.
Former "Cartel Crew" Member Reveals What Really Happens Behind the Scenes
Q: What changed for you in prison that made you want to reinvent yourself?
The RDAP program and the constant environment of transformation showed me a different life path beyond crime, including fitness, real estate, and coaching.
Former "Cartel Crew" Member Reveals What Really Happens Behind the Scenes
Q: How did you manage leadership when you knew a federal indictment was coming?
I dismantled the leadership structure ahead of time to prevent contagion and to protect the operation by making sure there were no formal roles anyone could exploit if things went south.
How I Uncovered the Story Behind Elvis's Abandoned Jet | Elvis Jet Scam Exposed
Q: Can you dumb it down for me how this fraud worked around the Elvis jet and the financing aspects?
The jet was used as collateral in a broader scheme where ownership and title transfers allowed multiple loans against the same asset, aided by shell companies and lease-back arrangements; a key tactic was leveraging the aircraft to secure funds while the actual value and risk management were manipulated by the organizers, making it look legitimate even as money moved in circles.
