“Really enjoyed this podcast, I wished there were more episodes. I’m sure Juan would have many more stories to tell. Seems a very likeable character too. To the point I felt myself routing for him and even annoyed that his ‘so called fake friend Julian had clearly been using him. His life story...”Read full review »

“Great storytelling, but do your own research for context and it’s even better! While it is not mentioned in the podcast, it was a strange delight when I realized he burglarized a central member of one of the world’s dirtiest and most unaccountable con families. Perhaps a podcast on the GoIds...”Read full review »

“Great job host and producers. And a heart felt thank you to Juan for sharing so openly. I don’t know how I feel about the producers sharing Juan’s passport switcheroo during airplane rides, think you crossed the line there by threatening Juan’s safety. But overall, job well done.”

“Decent podcast overall. Compelling story. Not the finest production I’ve ever heard, yet still entertaining.
*HOWEVER, I’m almost finished with episode 5 and…

“I binged the whole thing in one night. The character the story follows is beyond fascinating, beginning to end, his life is unbelievable, and the series is super investigative, a global chase. Not another blah blah blah podcast where the host relays a good story they read a few books about....”Read full review »

“Host a bit simplistic and Juan far more interesting and compelling. Host a bit rigid and English. Of course stealing from the rich isn’t a terrible thing. Juan a Robin Hood character- Host seemed shocked by this. To me, I needed somebody more warm hosting to understand why Juan wasn’t a good man.”

“A fun and interesting tale which was well told. But I don’t understand why the interviewers didn’t ask the most obvious question: how did you get so many “legitimate” passports with your real photo? The obsession with “why?” is strange, especially when the answer was clear from the start.”

“The last episode ruined this whole show for me. Allowing this self aggrandising burglar to blame his victims, dismiss the harm he has caused, and calling his self centred criminality his “work” is disgusting and shameful. It wasn’t an investigation it was a hagiography - lionising a corrupt,...”Read full review »

Just a fantastic story to dig up from Christian. Each episode builds the suspense and when you got to the end of no. 6 my jaw was on the floor. Absolutely gripping tale of a life that if captured on film no one would believe to be true. Thank you for some of the best...”Read full review »
