Meet the Fraud Victim-Turned-Vigilante

When Johnathan Walton learned that his best friend had conned him out of nearly $100,000, his first instinct was a little unusual—he told anyone who would listen about what happened. The story that ensued consumed his life for several years, ultimately sending his career in unexpected directions, with a hit podcast, assisting other victims with their frauds, and now, his new book, Anatomy of a Con Artist.
