INTRODUCING Persona: The French Deception

Introducing the true crime podcast Persona: The French Deception— the story of Gilbert Chikli, one of
the greatest con artists of all time. What does it feel like to pick up the phone and scam someone out of
$50 million? Host and award-winning journalist, Evan Ratliff, investigates how Chikli successfully duped
some of the world’s most powerful people into handing over their fortunes. He explores how Chikli
evaded the law for years and became a Robin Hood-like hero. More than just a tale of criminal genius,
this is a show about the moment we’re living in right now — the golden age of scammers — and the
power of seduction. But what happens when the fantasy we’ve been lured into finally crumbles away?
For all that and more, follow “Persona: The French Deception” wherever you get your podcasts. Or you
