There are so many details and facts that should have been presented but weren't. The victims couldn't possibly be as stupid as they came off. There had to be self-interest involved that would explain how they could be deceived so easily and for so long. It's not possible they could have been this gullible so I'm guessing the makers wanted to really live up to the "Ultimate Conman" label, which certainly was one of the things that hooked me.
With that said, this guy is an evil conman and there is proof of it. I just think the documentary failed to present a believable story. They also tried to be clever by jumping around in time and comparing similarities between victims. They jumped back and forth quite a bit, too much, and it distracted from the story. Anytime a documentary uses a timeline graphic and slides back and forth over the years dozens of times, they've failed. The three episodes also moved very slowly, very annoying.
It's a shame this was so poorly done because there is a very interesting story here that should be told.
