He was born Hamish Watson, a surfie dude from Sydney – but he could morph into whatever you needed him to be. Hamish is due to be sentenced to jail in early 2019 for swindling a handful of victims out of more than $7m. But these crimes are just the final pages in a resume too thick to staple; for decades he’s duped victims in the US, Canada, Britain, Hong Kong and Australia. How did he do it? How did he evade authorities around the world for so long and what’s he done with all those tens of millions of dollars he stole?

Customer Reviews
Very compelling podcast!
I stumbled upon this podcast after listening to The Teacher’s Pet and decided to give it a listen. It grabbed my attention right away and I was hooked. I was very surprised when they started to talk about my little Canadian city Vernon and the Silver Star ski resort just outside of town. I had no idea Who the Hell is Hamish would connect with my city and even include some familiar names. Well worth listening to with a satisfying conclusion for the listener and most importantly some the victims.
Interesting Podcast
Very interesting, well told story but editing and addition of advertisements was very poor.
Really great
Been a fan of other podcasts by The Australian and this one definitely delivers. Super interesting. Lots of great interviews.
