He didn't just break hearts. He broke lives.
Richard Scott Smith charmed his way into the lives of dozens of women — proposing marriage, borrowing money, and disappearing before they ever saw it coming. In this episode, we dive into the case that inspired the Showtime docuseries Love Fraud: a man who weaponized romance as a con, leaving a trail of financial ruin and emotional devastation across multiple states — and the group of women who refused to let him get away with it.
We cover how Richard operated, why the legal system repeatedly failed his victims, and what it took for survivors to finally fight back. This one is equal parts infuriating and inspiring.
