Amazing someone could get away with so many wild lies. I can't even pull off pretending not to be an idiot.
Thanks. Your comment made me laugh!😆
Audacity is key 🔑
I did not laugh at your comment
Buahahhah same fellow human, same.
I feel this
I dated a man recently who claimed to be retiring from the Navy and former Navy Seals along with being a demolition engineer, pilot, ship captain, a master of Jiu-Jitsu, and pool hustler who won cash prizes in tournaments regularly. He claimed to be placing a bid on a 3/4 of $1 million property and already owned 2 properties outside the state. He insisted on having a crew cut and wearing a hat that said NAVY on it whenever we went on dates. He claimed to be living in Army barracks until his property purchase was complete even though he was retiring from the Navy. I did confirm the Army base he claimed. He constantly talked when we were on dates and repeated exactly the same stories of his time in the Navy, Iraq, and Afghanistan along with specific stories of his encounters with significant people. He never let me talk during our dates which I always hated about older men.
Well, he didn't realize I'm very experienced in dating successful men and "successful" men. So I started hinting I had something burdensome to share during our texting and that it would only be courteous to allow me to talk about it. Finally, during a lunch date I told him although I have been financially successful for about a decade, the pandemic has devastated my reserves and I have come into financial distress. I started crying when he drove me home. He hugged, kissed, and promised me to help me and my child because he adored me very much and wanted to make a life together. Upon dropping me off he asked me what I needed, I said $500 would help out greatly to get us by until the coming month when other funds would be available. He said he was going to run to the bank and immediately return to hand me the $500. He never returned. We had a brief text exchange the following day but I never heard from him again. He knew his cover was blown and his black ops was compromised the second I revealed I had no money for him to commandeer. Navy Seals my ass!
@Ana Maria Coyote
Wow. That was crazy.
I have dated a few dodgy men in my day. Curious though, aside from the "resume padding" & boasting, was he trying to take your money or actually harm you?
@@cinemathequerouge317 I think he was love bombing me in order to win me over quickly. We only dated for about 2 months. He didn't ask me for money but I think he was working up to it. There is no way he was a Navy Seal. Apparently, it's far more common than we could ever imagine that men are posing as ex-military and specifically Navy Seals. I have dated a number of military men and one thing they all had in common was that they didn't like talking about their service but this guy never shut up about the same stories. He kept emphasizing how much of a Lieutenant Commander and Navy Seal he was in the Navy. I just realized that I can send his photo and info to an investigator who tracks all the con artists pretending to be ex Navy Seals. He will confirm for certain if he is lying. I felt perhaps I was fortunate to have dodged a bullet and just leave it alone yet perhaps I should because he may be in violation of the Stolen Valor Act. I hope I'm wrong about him but I'm certain I'm not.
Big elongated stories, achievements that don't pan out.
BIG red flags.
No one who has ever been on a 'secret mission' will ever admit to having been on a 'secret mission.'
😂
that's exactly what someone on a secret mission would say...
I just saw a trailer for a movie about Teal Swan and they used a clip from YOUR analysis video in it! I got excited cuz Ive followed you for awhile now 😅
Kayleigh, can we get it in Australia. Thank you.
I know the feeling! It's always comforting to see something confirmed as "serious " and " legitimate".
I just told him he was a rockstar now. I hope it doesn't go to his head. We don't need another amber heard in our lives. One was one too many. Ha ha.
I've also recently seen part of one of his clips on the news about gun violence. He adds professional credibility because he is professional and credible!
Dr Grande is about to be balling!
I don't understand why banks get upset when you can't repay a loan...
you already knew I had no money when I came to borrow it
Or as a dry observer once stated: 'To get a loan you first have to prove you don't need it.'
Lololo
“It’s always nice to have something to look forward to.”
Thanks, Doc
I really appreciate Dr. Grande's analyses and how he applies his educational background, professional experience, and sardonic sense of humour to the cases he reviews.
No, you dont........., jk lol.
Morning Dr. G 🌵
The amount of times I swore in this video🤬😤! I remember the first time I heard of this con-man in 2007 and then again in 2019 AAAHHH *muffled screaming*
Thanks for the always beautiful analysis’s 💗🤗
It's some of his charms. Both comical and Academic!
What’s the most interesting to me is he’s actually a wicked smart guy that could have lived a good life if he chose to
The amount of people who have great potential but end up going the wrong way with it has always interested me. Always curious what causes it if it’s nature or nurture
Obviously not smart enough to make good choices :/
Could have? He clearly did
"wicked smart" ahhh a fellow New Englander greetings from western mass.
They always are
“Narcissism is equally distributed across any particular population. No group is exempt from the risk of being narcissistic.” - That’s such a powerful statement. In my personal life I have come in contact with people from many different countries and walks of life, and I truly believe that character is not defined by one’s country, ethnicity, culture, or religion. That’s something that goes beyond all these group identifications.
Thank you for another excellent review Dr. Grande, I hope you are enjoying your weekend.❤️
@Jen Agrippa Not at all. Most people, deep down actually like themselves and believe in doing the right thing.
Then, we have the Jeremy’s of the world…
Hi Rejane - Imagine if all that ingenuity were out to responsible, constructive use! How come so many (if it is a lot?) of smart people become criminals? Just too boring to be normal!🤔. Have a great weekend friend!💐
@@bthomson That’s so true, what a wasted potential!
You too, I hope you have a restful and enjoyable Memorial Day weekend!💖
@@bthomson Hi, being smart is like having a car with a powerfull engine.
You can run fast but you can also crash hard. It still depends on decision making not on problem solving.
@Jen Agrippa - I'm not sure that character is 100% nature. I'm pretty sure that our experiences in our formative years and the general environment we live in and experience have a huge impact. And while narcissism and other negative personality traits exist everywhere I wouldn't be surprised if they are more prevalent, or at least given more leeway to "flourish", in some societies relative to others.
I wonder if, for example, societies where "selling yourself" and notions of meritocracy are normalised don't provide a more congenial environment for narcissists or perhaps even enable those with narcissistic tendencies that in other contexts would have less opportunity to express themselves and would be actively stigmatised in the general culture, to flourish.
Reminds of the Andrew Carnegie quote: "Any petty thief can figure out how to rob a freight car. Send him to Harvard, and he'll learn how to steal the entire Railway Company".
As a law enforcement officer, I once stopped an intoxicated driver and asked to see his driver license, to which he responded "which one?" All of them turned out to be forty seven, from several different states, and all validly issued. Needless to say, this was back in the early sixties before the advent of computerized policing. It's possible to do it today, but much more difficult and time consuming.😉
Lmao you’re too funny Doctor “nothing says safety like letting strangers sleep on your couch” 🤣
It seems sketchy but I’ve used the Couchsurfing app lots. Incredibly kind people across the board. You leave reviews and register with gov ID so it’s not wildly unsafe. Honestly such a great way to travel and meet new people!
If we keep complimenting him, he won’t be able to get out the door! Old saying. ❤️👍🏻 Dr. Grande rocks.
My criminal career started & ended one day in fourth grade when I forged my Mother's signature on a paper the teacher had assigned .. I did a really bang up job on that forgery .. I thought .. But I folded like a cheap suit when my fourth grade teacher took one brief glance & said. "Your Mother didn't sign this, did she?" I've known since then not to mess with the law .. There would be bound to be a fourth grade teacher on the jury .. Teachers are SMART .. TgT
I so enjoyed hearing your adventure into the criminal world.
It’s a shame that Wilson couldn’t find out a way to live a legitimate life as he is clearly intelligent & resourceful
"Pour Soi and En Soi": "Jeremy Wilson" is an excellent example of what the French thinker Jean-Paul Sartre calls the "pour soi." Sartre was one of the most famous public intellectuals of the mid-twentieth century. He was often referred to as the philosopher of freedom because he claimed "we are condemned to be free." This is an interesting insight about human beings. According to this account, there are two types of things in the world: the pour soi-the for-itself and the en-soi, the in-itself. The in-itself is like a coffee mug, a car, or a rock. There is no consciousness and no responsibility in that mode of existence. Humans, on the other hand, are for-itself, or perhaps, for-themselves. They are conscious beings without any core or identity. Sartre claims that we are condemned to make something of ourselves, but often fail in those projects. You can see in this account that "Jeremy Wilson" displays all the features of the for-itself. There is literally nothing there, only random actions of a certain type. Sartre tried to make the case that we have to make major decisions in life, such as choices and commitments that last. In that case we are acting authentically. Otherwise we act in bad faith, falsely believing that there is some justification for the choices beyond ourselves. Most people with "real" names believe they have some purpose in life so they don't go around changing their names all the time and lying to others. They have what might be considered a core. But even so, the core is a choice and there is always the temptation to believe we are something when in fact we aren't really anything at all, only a vanity attempting to be something. So, in a narrow sense, "Jeremy Wilson" is everybody, just more so. Thanks for reading. 🙂
What an interesting take on this case. I read Sartre in school, found it to be incredibly complex. Thanks for your comment.
This guy enrolled in my high school my junior year. His name then was Jeremy Clarke Erskine. He claimed to have transferred from Culver, a military academy, in Indianapolis. He was a loner and tried to join my circle of friends. We were all skaters and punk rockers and weren’t looking to hang out with a military enthusiast. I remember he wanted to go see a concert with us, we blew him off, and then saw him at the punk concert in a leather jacket and shaved head. We thought he was totally weird at the point. But it seems to me like an early instance of being a chameleon
He's been in the Irish punk rock scene long before you or any of your poseur friends.
@@Tony_Cardoza who are you and why are you defending this con artist? unless you went to high school with both of us, you have no clue about what you are speaking
@jeremypickett6610You guys were just SOOOO cool
@@PeterTaviawkNews no we could just sniff out a loser pretty easily in this case
@@jeremypickett6610 I'm making light of the fact that he claimed to be Irish for so long and even started using an accent.
Dr. Grande, it’s raining here up in Northern California, it was so nice to see you today, I’m gonna probably listen to this again because you make me so happy with your sweet voice & your honesty..
Yeah I think I’m going to make a cup of hibiscus tea sit here with you & the spring rain🌱
Very poetic!🦄
This guy would have been a great politician.
It appears that Mr. Wilson (if this is his authentic name) cut himself short by being a con-artist. If he had directed that motivation toward being legitimate, he could have reached the stars. Excellent video, Dr. Grande!
Seems like that's usually the case
He’d be a great spy
Idk. I think some people are gullible.
Yes!! He seems energetic, highly motivated, driven, adaptable and quite ingenious. I can only imagine all of the great things he may have accomplished if he taken the “right” (or a more legitimate) path! I’m still fuzzy on what drives this guy…maybe risk taking, adrenaline and/or novelty seeking, high pressure circumstances, constant high action…what a wasted talent/gift!! It’s amazing how individual differences among people can vary so greatly!
He could have been a GREAT actor! The prep he put into his cons was intense.
Insightful case study Dr. G! Thank you for putting a spotlight on the 'trust-traitor' mindset. His need to be someone else is creepy. Likely the true list of his crimes are far worse than he is willing to admit to anyone.
Very interesting analysis. Jeremy was intelligent but not quite intelligent enough to pull off his scams to avoid jail. It seems people were willing to fill in the holes in his stories for a while and wanted to believe him. His mind must always be busy thinking of new ways to trick people!
People must have been greedy to. Why would anybody give him something worth 4700 US$ just because some stranger says he is working for Microsoft?
I worked in a jail in New York. I encountered Jeremy Wilson, I would agree that he was very disarming. The more I've learned about him, the more interesting I find the whole situation. During his stay in my facility for example, he claimed to be partially def, though it was clear he could hear just fine. I'll honestly admit to having had a few conversations with him regarding history for example that he was very knowledgeable on. Overall, a very interesting individual and experience.
Dr G, and anyone else for that matter, I could give you guys a more in-depth breakdown of my interactions with him. They were relatively often for a brief period of time due to my assignment.
8:40 "it's always nice to have something to look forward to." 😂😂☠️
Absolutely Savage, Dr. Grande!
Thank you for all your hard work!!
Hi Dr. Grande. Sounds like a really confused guy. Maybe, you're right, he was attention seeking, by trying to side with people who're against him because of his criminal behavior. Really like your channel. Peace and spectacular times to you, love, Janine Smiley😀😎🤩😍💜🍩🎂💎
How did you comment on this a month ago when it was just released 14 hours ago another another glitch in the matrix....
@@mamarobyn Maybe this was put up as a Patreon video a month ago, however I have no idea how that would work. Funny how the other comments are from the last 14 hours except this one. Watch for the repeat black cat : ).
Is this a glitch? How is this comment already a month old? If you're a time traveler Andrea, you could have told us a lot more in this comment lol.
Are you refering to Jeremy?
Sounds just like a male version of the lady who recently was convicted of murdering her coworker, a hairdresser. These grifters are disturbing without question. TY for the upload, Dr. G.!
Kimberly Kessler? I totally see that.. scary that humans can do things like this without a second thought
‘Stay away from those with murky backgrounds’ ~ Dr. Grande would like us to incorporate this into our mindset.
The confusion on what his actual name is reminded me of that woman too! Scary individual.
The Jeremey dude is one character. Being a con sounds like another art form.
What a fascinating case, and such a brilliant breakdown of it from beginning to end!
His story would make a great movie.
You also gave several moments of laughter throughout: Nothing says safety like allowing random people to sleep on your couch.😅
You're the best Dr. Grande! ♡
Perfect timing with your humor, Dr. Grande, as you always do!
He’s iconic!
Hi and thank you! A calming voice and a normal person on TH-cam. I’m laid up with a knee; my dog is so intuitive, she is prancing. Now we have calm words and she will
Calm down.
Thank you, Dr. Grande. 👍🏻
Took Roxie out and a new o with a Nike came speeding around the corner on my 25 mph street. I kept Roxie safe and stood there; he can hit me before a n animal.
Dude, you rock. I wish I could take your classes.
"Nothing says 'safety' like allowing random people to sleep on your couch." Right? Not only would I be suspicious of those wanting to sleep on someone's couch, I'd be suspicious of anyone offering their couch to sleep on.
It used to be that we were warned about contacting people from the internet, now people essentially facilitate every interaction via the internet.
Great explanation and summary,Dr.Grande.
I honestly don't know how you kept this guys amazing personalities straight in just the first five minutes of your video.Just wow.
Your analysis was very human at the end.
But the part that got me laughing was this...
"Nothing says safety like allowing random people to sleep on your couch."
No doubt.
Excellent video,Dr.Grande.
He had 'human connection." He didn't have GENUINE human connection. Always good analyses, Dr!
Some people need to be in prison for the rest of their life, based on the fact that they cannot be in society without committing crimes, even if they are non-violent. This is for the good of society and in this case, Jeremy cannot live without manipulation and the con.
It's like that Catch Me if You Can guy - except they keep on catching him :)
That dude squeezed every last drop of opportunity out of his red hair and beard....lol.
I love a guy that is just speculate in a situation that could be happening just like this!!!
Fascinating case!
He sounds highly mobile and very committed to what he does.
Those matters of trust are serious mistakes in relationships and there were some very unfortunate victims.
I would think that guy would be on edge for being found out, he had so many aliases that he probably mixed up his stories at times.
Thank you for the video.
Yeeees! The hardest working Doctor on utube!
I'm up late tonight, so I've managed to catch a Dr G video. That's the only good thing that comes from insomnia. 👍
He is that smart and creative. Why can't he just start a legal business?
I smell a Netflix movie !
😂😂😂
Thanks Dr. Grande, you got me on this one. It reminds me I need to settle down, be who I am. Your analysis show the value of real friends, to whom we can be vulnerable. I really like the intrigue.....!
Good Evening Dr. Grande, Shoutout from Chicago! A true delight to see your notification. Thank you for an insightful narration, your subtle wit and excellent analysis.
This guy's life sounds exhausting. How would you even begin to keep all of those stories straight?
Hello Dr. Grande, I love your work. I forgot though, are you diagnosing anyone in this video?
Giving an analysis...🐣
Lol for a second I thought you were dumb for asking if he was diagnosing anyone and then I realized that in fact, I was the dumb one for not realizing the obvious joke immediately. 😕
Such people tend to chase the excitement of fooling others too… thank you excellent
This was a sleeper.
Thank you.
Peace 💕🇺🇲
You have taught me so much in the last year just watching your channel. Thank you. It has helped me very, very much. ❤️👍🏻
Love ya Dr. G! You’ve been working so hard, I’ve had trouble keeping up with you. I hope you’re having a blessed weekend and enjoying an evening off. You sure deserve it! 😍
Anna - It sometimes feels as though we are working against our best self interest asking Dr. Grande to rest! But you are right he works so hard! But we love it!
Great analysis,
Thank you, Dr. Grande.
Thank you for posting everyday!! ^__^
Thank you, dr g. Always appreciated 🙏🏼
One can only hope that it turns out the prison doctor who who treats his cancer as indigestion turns out not to be a doctor, but a pretender. If you weren't dying of cancer, this guy would have not been exposed for a long time. What is your real name for your tomb stone?
That last point about similarity not equating to trust really resonated with me. I made that mistake in recent years with a guy I met after a long term relationship ended and that guy went on to hack and stalk me. He and I had a mutual friend as well, which only made me trust him more, but she went on to be a flying monkey for him. I had known her for two decades, so it truly can be hazardous to trust people, even ones you think you know.
I replayed the last minute where you spoke of trust a few times. I love how you say it
Excellent analysis, entertaining and informative
I like this vid. Good insight and great analysis.
Wow!! Sounds just like someone I once knew. This video shows a glimpse of my life while married to a character with great similarities, like the dark soul you discuss in this video. It was very educational and I enjoyed it immensely. The flashbacks were crazy, tho!
Wow! Really interesting episode. Thanks!
Brian Keenan was not a member of the IRA. He was held hostage for four years in Lebanon and wrote a book about it entitled An Evil Cradling.
That's what I was thinking unless there was another Brian Keenan
Brian Keenan was a member of the IRA and was their Chief of Staff at one point during his time with them.
Thanks for these analysis videos. They're always interesting and I learn from them. 🙂
Remember, all your learning is merely speculative based on situations like these! =D
@@DARobin-iv4tp Teresa let you go l poo

Great vid. This is so interesting. Here in the UK we have had a few people pretending to be aristocrats from old British families. One even held down quite a humdrum job, driving about in a shabby car (although he always managed to avoid meetings with his bosses when they became curious), whilst simultaneously masquerading as a landed gent.
Dr. Grande, can you do Sarah Boone, the woman who zipped her boyfriend up in a suitcase which ultimately led to his death. Thank you and love your videos.
sends shivers down my spine to this day
"I excel at everything I do". With the exception of hide and seek. Sick, sick woman.
Yes, that is a strange case and a horrific way to die!
"we had a GOOD DAY"
That was one of the weirdest .....
Terrible what he did, and so many bizarre names too. Great points, love the couch 🛋surfing joke. Thanks Dr G 😉💙💙
Ha ha , I with you on the names, maybe I will give Noah an alias name lol.😂 😜✉🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
@@cottontails9003 😄haha. Please pick something better tho😅💜💚💜💚
@@zenawarrior7442 Lovely, you pick a name please, please, please. 😂😜❤💙✉🎋🎋🎋. Now have some sweet dreams.
@@cottontails9003 OK dear. Let me think on that thank you and I will...off to dream land in a bit....😘😴💞🌃🌌🛏
I wonder if he will be able to change his behavior after he is released. With people like this it seems as though thrill of performance and deception becomes a compulsion.
Very, very unlikely to ever change his behaviors.
Dr. Grande just hadn’t heard of couch surfing. Tells you something about the background of his case
Didn’t know about this one before the video. But when the doc uploads I watch.
Dr grande is the man ! I’m sure my boss would be a great story on here , as a lawyer in Scotland Glasgow I salute and respect your profession with a side of humour sir
Thanks, Dr Grande
This Dr is the real deal. A refreshing change
Thank you for doing this! I was one of his victims.
Can you explain what happened?
What do you want to know? He’s got a long story
I hope you have a safe memorial day weekend Dr. Grande. Great video btw.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤❤❤❤❤
It's always nice to have something to look forward to, ace comment Dr ❤🔥🎯
Well done.! Txs
Came for the knowledge, stayed for the wit! Love Dr. Grande's sense of humor
Glad it is Grande time. Let’s do this!
People like this never ever stop. They are always scheming.
Holy moly, I remember him from high school! I can confirm he definitely showed up one day in a wheelchair. He was a geek and apparently paid a lot of attention in drama class. Wow. Just wow.
Hi Dr. Grande.🌵
Jeremy should write a book that features one episode for each of his characters. Maybe even a screenplay.
Morning, Dr. Grande. Like your (new perhaps) eyeglasses. 😊 Keep up the great content. 🌵 Have a nice holiday weekend!
Love you and your show.
Dr. Grande is the Bomb!
DR GRANDE I JUST SAW A COMMERCIAL WITH YOU IN THE VERY BEGINNING OF IT FOR A DOCUMENTARY CALLED "THE DEEP END" THAT YOU'LL BE IN?! SO PROUD IF YOU AND SO STOKED TO SEE THE DOCUMENTARY ♥️♥️♥️
This guy deserves an Oscar, not a prison sentence!
Angus "Jocko" Ferguson - LMFAO! This is is hella creative and ridiculous, if not stupid at the same time.
No successful con-artist would put tattoos on their fingers, none.
Good catch!
Omg Doc, you're a star!.
This story may have some effect on how I tell young adults "you can be anything you want to be".
Dr. Grande, you are SAVAGE! I love your new revelation of your very dark humor.🤭 Keep on keeping being your best self, sir. ,
“Always nice to have something to look forward to” 😂 😂 😂 like your quips
Look into the case of Martha Ann Johnson. She murdered all four of her children. She killed one each time her husband left her. Thanks for the great work. You are the bomb.
Do you think Wilson would have escalated to murder? The presence of antisocial traits seems apparent. Do you think some antisocial individuals choose financial or white collar crimes over murder and robbery for a reason? Maybe it's just convenience or what they gain confidence in first.
Alot less time in prison, if he'd murdered any of his scam victims he'd be locked up for life not for the next 20 years or so. I think that's probably what stops alot of people like this, they're smart enough to not take it to a level where there's going to be a life sentence, but not smart enough to not just commit crimes and use their intelligence for something good
Wow! What a con artist! 🤣 Excellent analysis, Dr. Grande! ❤️
Genius, one of the best video recently. Well thought out comedically and analytically. Like a man hitting a bear with a gun case😆
Jeremy Wilson. Rather than being clueless in some situations, I wonder if, instead, he didn't care. A roll with the punches kind of thing.
He wasn't willing to follow the Golden Rule, do unto others as you'd have done unto you; karma; or you reap what yo sow, they all mean the same. So many people gave him the benefit of the doubt and they will reap it back in other ways as will he his evil ways I'd like to think.
The being born in Indianapolis Indiana thing got my attention because I'm from the west side of Indy (Avon is the town name) and live here today. Have lived in Okinawa Japan for a year and California for 9 years so haven't always been here 😉
Thanks again Dr. Grande for another gr8 rundown while bringing up some interesting points! 😊
This analysis gives me the chills since I've been dealing with a similar subject, though in Italy. Personal data stolen, accounts hacked, he basically claims to be 'me' professionally, and I guess I am not the only person being copied by him. Almost all 'features' this Jeremy Wilson owns do apply to the character on the other side of the pond. So much intelligence in one person, but totally wasted... It's a shame.
I’m so sorry you’re dealing with that! Identify theft is pernicious!
@@nachtegaelw5389 Thank you ❤️, yes, it feels awful, especially when the person managed to get a hold on your personal and private Infos. But okay, maybe jail will teach them a lesson sooner or later.
Bless this guy's heart.
