Pilot, Cruise Ship Captain, successful businessman, gifted salesman, entrepreneur, property renovator, heir to a massive fortune, able to drop claims of rubbing shoulders with political figures, all whilst living a champagne lifestyle. Sounds pretty good, doesn't it?

This time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, we meet an individual who was all that and more.

On paper, and according to him, anyway - but one who left a costly trail of devestation in his wake.

Remembering those wronged.

Rememberance Day - a day where we should each give thanks, respect and thoughts to those who through their sacrifices are why we have the freedoms we do today. To be proud. The countless former and serving members of the Armed Forces who each display the medals that they have earned do so with this in abundance, recognition of such sacrifices and bravery they have each earned.

And yet, there are many people who also do this - but without the commitment, hard work and bravery that it takes to do so, they simply embellish or even act out a fantasy, basking in glory that they have not attained - as you shall come to see here.

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.

I used to watch a great sci-fi show back in the 90's called The Pretender, about a genius who could become anything he wanted to be, fit into any walk of life, which he used to do to help people. The people we will meet this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast are in no way geniuses though - for some people don't let trivialities such as qualifications or aptitude get in their way - and instead, rely on a bit of shopping, the gift of the gab, and more front than Brighton to get by.

For this time around, we look at some of those pretending to be THIS side of the law.
