Johnathan Walton was a successful TV producer when he crossed paths with a woman claiming to be an Irish heiress fighting for a massive inheritance. What began as a friendship turned into a sophisticated con that cost him nearly $100,000. But rather than walk away, he fought for justice—leading to her arrest, conviction, and extradition. In this episode, Johnathan shares how he unraveled the truth behind the scam, helped expose more than 40 other victims, and transformed his experience into the hit podcast Queen of the Con. He also discusses his brand-new book, Anatomy of a Con Artist, which goes even deeper into his mission to unmask serial scammers and protect future victims.
