Financial Infidelity Nov 01, 2022

Show notes

Purported entrepreneur Antonio Mariot Wilson, aka “Dr. Tony Mariot,” aka “Brice Carrington” claims to be an Oscar-winning sound designer, Oxford scholar, Navy SEAL, UCLA professor, and mogul in the making. In reality, the charismatic con-man changes his name, pitch, and act to play a series of roles, and the inveterate huckster fleeces unsuspecting investors for decades, including television star Jenifer Lewis. But when Lewis discovers the truth, she turns the tables on this red-carpet-Romeo, and goes public - prompting an FBI investigation, and Wilson's eventual guilty plea to wire fraud in 2020, landing him an eight-year prison sentence in 2021.
