The Slippery

THE SLIPPERY

The con artists think they’re untouchable. The fraudsters believe their schemes are foolproof. The scammers assume they’ll never be caught. They’re all dead wrong.

Welcome to The Slippery, where the most audacious scammers, mind-bending scandals, and elaborate schemes meet their match. Hosted by Nancy Moscatiello and Scott Eldridge—the investigative duo behind the explosive hit “Scamanda” podcast and acclaimed documentary series—this true crime podcast takes you inside the twisted minds of master manipulators and the devastating aftermath they leave behind.

Every case gets the deep-dive treatment across two episodes that reveal every angle of deception:

THE SLIPPERY: Nancy and Scott dissect each case from first lie to final reckoning, with one host pitching why this story deserves the Hollywood treatment—documentary series, limited series, or feature film.

THE SLIPPERY DEBRIEF: Raw, unscripted conversations with special guests who lived these schemes firsthand—victims, investigators, journalists, and insiders sharing revelations that never made official reports.

From elaborate Ponzi schemes to fake cancer fundraisers, from romance scams to corporate fraud, The Slippery exposes the schemes that prove truth is more shocking than any fiction Hollywood could create.

Because when it comes to deception, everyone thinks they’re too smart to fall for it. Until they do.

The Lexi CON EP 5 | Role Play, Foul Play & Calculated Risks Nov 09, 2026

Show notes

The facade stretches thinner as Lexi’s ambitions collide with global chaos. In this installment, Lexi takes intellectual property theft to a chilling new personal level when she gets her hands on promotional footage created by a genuine grief counselor.

Meanwhile, Lexi’s domestic life turns into a masterclass in strategic evasion. Now married to Gavin, she treats wedlock less like a partnership and more like a perimeter defense, constantly inventing excuses to keep him at arm's length. Another getaway to California brings a brush with reality-TV royalty, feeding her appetite for glamour and notoriety.

When COVID-19 hits and lockdowns sweep the nation, most couples pull together—but Lexi spots an operational advantage. Her fake medical team starts calling the shots and Gavin is left out in the cold.

Total control breeds recklessness as Lexi makes a daring,impulsive misstep that backfires. For the first time, the questions aren't coming from confused outsiders or an estranged friend—they are coming from her own sister, whose sharp eye and intense scrutiny threaten to unravel the entire performance.

Is this the beginning of the end for Lexi's con, or merely another twist in her sensational narrative?

The Lexi CON DEBRIEF: Episodes 1 & 2 Oct 22, 2026

Show notes

In this inaugural debrief episode, co-hosts Scott Eldridge and Nancy Moscatiello pull back the curtain on the opening chapters of The Lexi CON. Joined by the two tipsters whose relentless digging blew the case wide open—Ally Lifsey (a Nashville nurse) and her friend Sarah (also a nurse)—Scott and Nancy explore how a decade-long medical fabrication began to unravel.

Together, they detail the painstaking investigative process, the brilliant detective work, and the psychological mechanisms that made Lexi’s con so convincing to her family, community, and followers for so many years.

Some of the highlights include:

Ally and Sarah reveal the initial "wait a minute" moments from Lexi’s social media and blog that triggered red flags, including photos that didn't align with clinical reality.
The Dr. Sullivan Discovery: Nancy walks through contacting Dr. Keith M. Sullivan, a world-renowned hematologist at Duke University.
Uncovering the Plagiarism: Nancy and Ally share the breakthrough moment when they tracked down a specific photo Lexi posted (placing a crown on a fellow cancer fighter). Identifying the real subject as author and advocate Suleika Jaouad unlocked a key thread, proving Lexi was lifting photos, columns, and experiences directly from real cancer patients.
Building the "Lexi Encyclopedia": The team discusses organizing years of blog posts, social media updates, and medical claims into a massive, meticulous spreadsheet to cross-reference dates, photos, and storylines.
The Emotional Toll: Scott, Nancy, and the tipsters reflect on the bizarre peripheral victims—including Lexi's former landlord (who was supplied fake letters from "Dr. Sullivan") and long-time friends like Lauretta, who were manipulated and emotionally discarded throughout the scam.
