Description:
What if someone told you they were a Rockefeller… but it was all a lie? Meet Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter, the German immigrant who reinvented himself as Clark Rockefeller — a con artist who fooled the rich and famous, courts, and even his own family.

In this episode, we unravel:

• The twists and turns of his unbelievable double life.
• How he played high society like a master chess player.
• The jaw-dropping court cases and ultimate reveal of his true identity.

Expect plenty of “Wait, what?!” moments, Brandon’s sarcastic commentary, and us wondering how we’d get caught (or not).
