In today's episode I offer my opinions on the new Netflix mini series "Inventing Anna". In the first ever episode of Approached, I covered the case of Anna Delvey who portrayed herself as a German Heiress effectively swindling banks and tycoons alike out of over 200,000. Now, just under a year later, the mini series has made it's way to Netflix. And I have thoughts. Find out what they are on this weeks episode of approached.

Today we dive deep into the truth and uncover that Frank is truly the greatest con man of all time, just not for the cons he's been selling.
