Sit down Shaun! In this episode, we continue talking about the “progressive” fraudster: Shaun King. Hidden behind an altruistic facade on social media, Shaun King manages to scam millions through ‘fundraising’ and ‘charitable causes’. Not only has he taken advantage of social movements but also cyberbullied people that questioned his actions. Journalist Ernest Owens tells us how King targeted him and several other colleagues. Join us as we try to find out what is the truth behind Shaun King, how he has become so powerful and how we can prevent this type of scam.
