Juan Carlos Guzman Betancur is a con-man like no other. He's smuggled his way into more than 50 countries, stolen millions of dollars, and deceived pretty much everyone he's ever met. In this podcast series, investigative reporter Darrell Brown teams up with former Metropolitan Police Detective Christian Plowman to take a journey through Juan's crimes - to unpack his extraordinary life - and to try and find him... it's a journey which takes two years, and spans the globe. Why does Juan Carlos do the things he does? You might not believe the answer.

  1. EPISÓDIO 1

    Skyfall

    Juan Carlos Guzman Betancur isn't your typical criminal. He's been labelled as the most gifted conman ever seen. But nobody has ever understood why he does what he does, and what made him turn to a life on the wrong side of the law. In this opening episode, investigative reporter Darrell Brown begins his search to find Juan Carlos. It's a journey which takes him to Miami, and the scene of Juan's first known crime. What can we learn from Juan's time in Florida? How did he get there? And did anyone realise where it was all going to lead? Follow Con Juan only on Wondery+.

  2. EPISÓDIO 2

    Poker Face

    By the early 2000's, Juan Carlos was a man on a mission... and one of his favourite places to 'work' was Las Vegas. In this episode Darrell follows the breadcrumbs of Juan's life to the city that never sleeps, meets an ex-detective just as determined to find some answers, and hears about an audacious robbery ripped straight from the pages of a Hollywood Blockbuster. And perhaps - while we're in Vegas - we might even catch a glimpse of the man himself... Follow Con Juan only on Wondery+.

Follow the LUIGI show page and stay subscribed to be the first to access new episodes, bonus content, and more -- available exclusively for Wondery+ members. --- When Luigi Mangione was arrested for allegedly shooting UnitedHealthcare’s CEO, it sent shockwaves across the country, but the aftermath was even more unsettling. While mainstream media condemned the act as a brutal murder, a very different narrative was taking shape online—one that questioned the true villains in this story. Was the alleged shooter a violent extremist, or had he become an unwitting symbol of something much larger?  Hosted by Law&Crime's Jesse Weber, LUIGI is more than just a true crime investigation—it's an exploration of a uniquely American moment. As this case continues to unfold in real-time, this series steps beyond the headline-grabbing "crime of the decade" angle to examine the cultural reckoning it has triggered. At its core, LUIGI captures a shifting America at a tipping point. From the public's growing disillusionment with corporate power to the radicalization of online discourse,—this is a story about what happens when the powerless begin to push back. LUIGI dissects the moral, political, and cultural divide at the heart of this case. Wherever this case goes, Law&Crime will provide you with all angles of the case; from those who have condemned the suspect and the crime, to others celebrating the act as revolutionary.  With exclusive interviews and in-depth coverage, we challenge you to decide: Is the status quo enough, or is it time for a cultural reckoning? Listen to Law&Crime and Twist’s LUIGI exclusively on Wondery+ and follow the show page to keep up on all the latest developments.

From business and politics to sports and society, we look on aghast as corruption, deceit and ambition bring down heroes and celebrities, politicians and moguls. And when the dust finally settles, we’re left to wonder: how did this happen? Where did they trip up, and who is to blame? From the creators of American History Tellers, Business Wars and Tides of History comes American Scandal, where we take you deep into the heart of America’s dark side to look at what drives someone to break the rules and what happens when they’re caught. Hosted by Lindsay Graham.
