Episode description

Danny is back to cover the self-proclaimed “Jeffrey Dahmer of fraud,” Steve Comisar. First, there’s a personal scam story involving a recent Uber Pool trip that went completely off the rails. Then, the episode dives into the extensive grifting résumé of Beverly Hills conman Steve Comisar, who shilled everything from solar-powered clothes dryers to diet pills to oil wells—and even scammed an 84-year-old man out of $500,000.

After several prison stints and failed attempts at becoming a Hollywood actor, Comisar is now pursuing the most noble profession of all: true crime podcasting.
