I'm not a fan of documentaries, but The Tinder Swindler is most definitely worth watching. Although it's under 2 hours, it would have been better if cut to 1 hour which it could have been because it drags a bit. Still, the story is so compelling that it's impossible to not watch it to the end, which I will not spoil but will say it might not be quite what you expect to see. In fine, it is the story of a the cons pulled off by a pretend-billionaire, telling once again how cons are based not as much on the gullibility of the victims as the victims wanting what's being supposedly offered to be true. It's a Bernie Madoff story. It's a Donald Trump story. It's a timeless story.
