In this age of social media, it can be all too easy for a person to pretend to be someone they are not.
\\n
\\nIn this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast we discuss the cases of social scammers \\u2013 Liver King and Maddie Russo.
\\n
\\nBrian Johnson aka Liver Ling lives what he calls an \\u201cancestral lifestyle\\u201d, which includes eating large amounts of raw organs and meat, and he recommends eating liver daily.\\xa0 His businesses based on this \\u2018ethos\\u2019 are said to make around $100 m per year.\\xa0 He vehemently denied taking any steroids to achieve his insane physique.\\xa0
\\n
\\nIn December 2022, Liver King\\u2019s empire started to crumble.\\xa0 He is now facing a $25m class action lawsuit after it was revealed that he was taking around $11,000 worth of steroids each month.\\xa0
\\n
\\nMaddie Russo was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer AND leukemia, at age 19.\\xa0 Maddie seemed to be defying the odds after undergoing 15 rounds of oral chemo and 90 rounds of radiation.\\xa0 Except, Maddie wasn\\u2019t sick at all.\\xa0 Her lies became public in January 2023 after medical professionals became concerned about the legitimacy of photos that she posted of herself online.\\xa0 When Maddie\\u2019s apartment was raided, police found wigs, cash and medication that did not belong to Maddie.\\xa0 She had managed to scheme almost $40k from 439 donors.\\xa0
