Omg, just saw this notification. I used to WORK WITH this guy for a while in Blackpool! Genuinely one of the creepiest people I have ever met. I spotted lots of odd things about him pretty swiftly, but most were taken in by him. He would tell the most ridiculous lies you've ever heard. He used to come to work with a sports holdall and tell everyone he was a black belt in karate. He produced his karate kit out of his bag one day - all brand new in plastic, folded and never used. He could no more do karate than my cat! He's a lot more sinister in person than he seems in stories. He'd spend some lunch times (we found out later from police), at the local hospital, pretending to be a doctor and trying to administer unknown medications to patients. I honestly feel, after studying true crime for years and spending time with this bloke (there were only 5 of us in the company, and we all worked in the same office), that he's done more than the police know...he seems like one of those slow burning time bomb type characters... One of the ladies he'd conned came to the office one day to warn us all (he'd been working with us for about 8 months then). He'd not only conned her but abused her, mentally & physically. I honestly don't think this guy is just a conman. There's something else going on there as well...he had completely dead eyes.
I can tell you from sad personal experience that there are people out there that essentially can't exist without someone to abuse, his eyes were completely dead because without someone to tear down he is dead. Figuratively at least. "I con, therefor I am." If he's not conning people he's
I agree. Most of these cases are notorious for a reason. There's always so much more that never gets told. More professional journalists and documentaries rely n what can be proven. A lot like serial killers. They can only safely say what they were convicted for. So most stuff like this is told through court documents and trial transcripts. It doesn't always cover things that weren't reported or couldn't be proven. There's always so much more under the surface, like an iceberg. Wish there was a place where people could comment what their experience was. Like an official site. But! Reddit would be a great place to show your cats karate skills!

We had lots of dates in expensive resterants and i had many gifts. H e was not around very long as his beeper would activate. Only now i realise he activated himself.He stole the trust of my parents and when he was arrested one night at work they insinuated i had someway encoraged his activitys in engaging his post.

Hope you know it was never your fault, a conmen know their targets weakness, any action taken against you by the hospital was from ignorance on the part of the administers. Stay strong.
How can someone walk off the streets; enter a medical institution; assume an employee's identity, pose and perform as a doctor? Are hospitals so busy that staff cannot recognise their colleagues! Ridiculous!
I wish, in these types of shows, they would spend more time telling about the case, about what actually happened, instead of spending so much time speculating about the perpetrator's thoughts and the reasons for his behavior.
I totally agree, there's too much evaluating his behavior. I don't even believe their evaluations about him, they don't look and sound professional, text-book professionals more like.
If he has done this for 25 plus years, gets caught, gets a few years in jail, and goes back to the same, then he should be thrown in jail for 20 years. He is a threat to society. The justice system is messed up all over the world.
I agree, his crimes seems to get 2-4 year sentences that with good behaviour he gets out early. Maybe a new sentencing rule that if you get found guilty on multiple times that the standard sentence for that crime should be doubled for the second, tripled for the third etc & no early release!
I find it incredible how many times he’s been arrested yet they keep letting him out 🤷♀️ The guy has proven that he’s a serial conman with no conscience & no limits to what he’ll do. Surely by now they’ve figured out he can’t be rehabilitated & short-term punishment means nothing to him 🤷♀️ People like him should stay locked up for the safety of the community.

Also why wern't the hospitals more vigilant about checking his background before enabling him to commit the same crimes again and again to the detriment of the patients.

This was in the early 80’s before things were digitalised. Now, this will be very difficult to pull off seeing that the hospital has a more digital security.

How can you knowingly release a repeat offender . Does it not cost the government to constantly hunt this guy down and keep taking him to court? He is incorrigible.
Yeah just like what the late dictator president Ferdinand Edralin Marcos did in the Philippines.. He claimed he was included on death march during world war2 and survived and many more lies.
I work in healthcare and everywhere I have ever worked, I had a background check and I had to have my fingerprint record done as part of getting licensure..... I don't get how these guys don't get caught if the hospital does background checks like they should.
honestly, socioeconomic LARPing will get you everywhere. I work in a very lucrative field that is niche and highly skilled, but to get my foot in the door I had to pretend I was very accustomed to that environment and comfortable etc when in reality they all made ten or more times my annual salary.
I worked in a dental office as the Lab tech. One time I bought a lab coat rather than my apron just because we had moved into a new office where I couldn't hide in my lab. 90% of the patients that saw me thought I was the dentist. They made me stop wearing it.
@@christinawells2024 I start my nurse training in August. My ultimate goal is to either become a Dr, a Nurse Practitioner or a Nurse Anesthetist. I'm so excited. But anxious since I'm Welsh living in Finland, so Finnish will become my working language - it's difficult for me since it's a highly grammatical language.
@@LumiSisuSusi just be an RN my buddy's wife basically just pics where she wants to work because there is such a demand she's worked at the jail she works at convalescent homes and doesn't even have to lift a finger she's just a nurse on staff and they pay her exceptionally well then you don't have to deal with being the doctor and having an ridiculous malpractice insurance and all the other crap that goes along with buying your own office kissing your Paces asses for them to sue you over something stupid
@@WillaHerrera But I don't want to just be an RN. I have my career goal and I like to be challenged. I don't want to get paid for basically doing nothing. That's the difference between your friend's wife and I. I want to positively effect the broken system which more often than not ignores the roll of nutrients in regards to mental health and general illnesses. I would feel unfulfilled just taking a paycheck. This isn't a job for me, this is an extension to my innate nature of being; my desires to leave the world and the medical field a better place than it was before I entered the field. Without even having my RN certification I have been able to help several people with illnesses by addressing their symptoms which were, to me, clearly a nutritional deficiency expressing it's self e.g. B12, or D. And I was right after they asked for the tests I suggested. But all that aside, yes it's great to know that once registered all of Europe, and the greater world without language barriers is open to me if I wish to travel.
Even as a conman he's a failure, he gets caught every time just after weeks, his 'cons' are just used to steal credit cards and some cash... that's rather pathetic
Okay, I can understand lying to women saying'' hey I'm a doctor'' but I cannot be on board with him actually going into hospitals and pretending to be one. That was so reckless, dangerous and outright disgusting.
Ya wonder if someone is a narcissist? Tell then they are wrong!! Watch their response. They may not outwardly show anger, but, they will be defensive and set on proving they're right, they overtalk and can't stand being held accountable.
Not at all!!! Whilst caring for my poor husband in hospital, I had to wear an apron and this immediately had granted me access to every ward and every room! No one had asked any questions!
Sadly not. Identity theft is very easy to do because so much is done online. Banks, Healthcare, Taxes and so on. I believe in the USA it's worse. Makes me sick.
There is nothing "petty" about posing as a doctor and carrying out procedures. Anyone who was unwittingly treated by this conman probably feels violated to this day.
This is so thorough, how they explain why he does what he does. Great content. Wish they had more like this, with all the expert opinions and contributions.
It's SO crazy because my ex-husband was JUST like this!! He is a habitual liar who will take on a persona that even HE believed because he lied and scammed so much. My ex has an identical twin and he uses his credentials. I after we were divorced I found out about secret scam companies that he had created. Its sad...but he is the same way to this day! Working as a high position in a company using a fake college degree. With fake credentials that are actually his brothers!🤦🏾♀️
That's how people on the narcissistic spectrum are. They all lie to themselves until they believe their own lies. They won't admit to any wrong doing either. They will turn it around and accuse the other person of what they are doing. Dangerous individuals to be around especially if you don't know what you're dealing with.
And the senior staff put him in to the position! They are as much to blame and yet no responsibility is taken! Scapegoat springs to mind! The people in power believe they are untouchable!
I’m surprised none of his colleagues figured it out. People who work in the medical field, especially for a long time, usually can tell people that are pretending to know what they are taking about.
What I don't understand are not hospitals responsible to do a credential check?. Even in the 1970's and 1980's you can't get a job as an LVN without being asked for picture ID, references, schooling information, CV, etc..... It's one thing to con women and act as a financial advisor, but how does he manage to go into the hospital systems, especially after being caught and being thrown in jail more than once. I mean this is the UK, not some rural village in a third world country. That does not give someone much confidence in the health care system.
I don't know why the courts haven't taken steps to curb Bent's love for the con by simply putting him under surveillance as soon as he's released from prison + catching him as soon as he launches himself in another scam instead of waiting for months later.
How did he order x-rays though? I assume he had no idea about the admin processes, and must have been obvious to colleagues and admin staff?! And what did he do with the collapsed lung? Like where would you even start?
Bint was jailed for impersonating Sir Keir Starmer who was the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP). Speaking on an episode of Life Stories, which aired on June 1, 2021, Sir Keir told Piers Morgan that Bint answered lonely hearts' adverts in the Sunday Times pretending to be him. Sir Keir said: “He would take a taxi down to see one of the women that he was seeing as Keir Starmer, down to the West Country, and say put the bill on the Crown Prosecution Service, director of public prosecutions.
These so called “experts” making excuses for this man’s evil actions- as psychiatric problem- are appalling! It’s an insult to people who are actually diagnosed with psychiatric illness!!!!!!!!
I don't understand why security policies and procedures at every hospital in the country were not changed the moment he was charged from his very first hospital breach. I honestly don't understand either why more efforts were not made for this man to be incarcareted in a long-term secure forensic mental health facility.
This is like guys who claim to be Special Forces, Navy Seal, SAS etc. They often have never served at all. Or if they have, they had a terrible record and/or were kicked out for bad conduct/disciplinary reasons. Be careful of the people who spin war stories down the pub, they might not be who you think they are
My dad WAS 82nd Airborne Ranger in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Bay of Pigs. He never displayed metals or talked much about it. He always told me "if someone is bragging about being there, they either weren't there or they're sociopath, either way stay away "
I always told patients to not bring valuables to the hospital, and if they did, to put them in the hospital safe or send them home with a family member. There are no safes or even lockers in hospital rooms.
A full third of the program is repetition, Still pics used again and again, script repeated...it's unbearable. Just google Paul Bint, read it & be done with it.
Who was he being paid by? The hospitals? Do they not check degrees, references etc.? My God! The bit of money he got off women and stealing would not seem like that would support him....
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
Great documentary. I been struggling these scammers have ruined my life. I hope they put all these scammers in prison. I worked for any money I was entitled to and they stole it. I was disabled during the pandemic. I couldn't apply for EDD i was off work. And they won't even answer the phone. I've been dealing with this since 2020. I was lucky my complaint passed through the desk of one L. Drew Ingraham, experienced federal law enforcement officer with a successful career in financial and cybercrime investigations, 100k it up ur browser. I was able to get my privileges restored.
Damn, I'm SO sorry that happened. Never ever send money to anyone for any reason. If you watch Scamfish... they have a program you can download to detect scammers by their verbiage, pics etc....
This is such an extreme con. I can't think how he would get away with this. Very interesting video. I am going to check IDs of anyone professional now. Lot of crime including card crime, despite all the bank's supposed security. Massive risk taker It is sad his useless parents were rubbish.
Goes to show that if you drive a fancy car, wear designer clothes, but wear a huge fake diamond ring, people will believe it as real. But if you drive an old Toyota and wear Walmart clothes, even if you wear a real 10 carat diamond, they'll think it's fake. Protected by poverty. 🤣
bros like my grade 3 supply teacher , she came into the school and the secretary asked if she was the supply and she said yes, she wasnt she was there for about 20 minutes then the REAL supply teacher came and she was kicked out of the school
"..to support an extravagant lifestyle and to also fulfill his own warped fantasies of self-importantance and grandeur." Nicely sums up many in the medical profession.
@@debbiesunlight7047 it is we known that the medical profession attracts a high number of narcissists. Your assertion that it does not apply in the UK is quite deluded.
@@damienhunt4264 lol 😂 some are self important Yeah. Like in any profession. But remember our doctors and nurses and all other paramedical and allied health care professionals like physios and OT and the rest , in the nhs , get paid by the government , they don’t make profits , they can’t sell anything and the nhs is free to the public at the door , so I can tell you, most aren’t living anywhere near extravagant lifestyles. It’s a very different culture in the UK 🇬🇧 ….
@@debbiesunlight7047 hello, Debbie, while I agree with much of what you say, I take issue with "some are ..." In my experience, I would say a good 60% + could be described as self-important, many of whom border on narcissistic while others are fully fledged narcissists.
@@debbiesunlight7047 Harold Shipman, was he from America too? Let's be clear, doctors are important, but you don't have to be Einstein to get a medical degree. Damien Hunt makes a very valid point, if you haven't met a judgemental, self-important doctor, where have you been all your life?
I'm sorry this does not wash, or at least it wouldn't in an American emergency room, where someone like this would be caught out in mere seconds as a fraud. Nurses, specifically would spot a fraud in two seconds flat
Not that the standards are particularly high in the us.. have to have that security because of all the bombers and gun crazy people you breed in the cesspool culture ..
I'd be interested in hearing the Psychological assessment of him,and his childhood,he is actually very detached,he has to be,to do what he does,he is an accomplished actor
I picked up a girl in the street about 3am and she ended up coming back to my place.After we’d fooled around for a while she then asked me if I remembered the time when the fake doctor had done procedures at the Kettering hospital and then went on to tell me it was her brother.She seemed to admire him for his ability to con people.Needless to say she wore out her welcome quickly.
I think it's sad that in the present primitive state of development of knowledge in their fields, psychiatrists and clinical psychologists write reports in which they say certain individuals are "untreatable" and judges choose to believe such negativity.
Well, judges can usually only rule on something with the evidence presented to them by experts, rule according to precedent, or risk an unproven (in court proceedings) ruling that gets the whole thing declared a mistrial. But they should have had better professional witnesses at the trial. But some things are untreatable because the patient doesn't think they have a problem. It's hard to tell if the judge has a backwards view of psychology or not. I don't know why this documentary felt it necessary to even say that. Definitely didn't feel right lol
@@angelface925 That's certainly a good point that people labelled as having a "personality disorder" need to want to change if treatment is likely to succeed. However, mainstream psychiatrists and clinical psychologists seem to be saying more than that regarding "psychopaths". What I understand them to be saying is that no treatment will be effective anyway for those they give that label to. It's sad that mainstream opinion is so adamant when there still seems a lot to learn about the human psyche. When I needed help with depression my doctor told me, "Perhaps in the future we'll know how to help you". A psychiatric nurse said he considered the workings of the human mind the last frontier of knowledge. That was a while ago but I suspect knowledge is increasing only slowly. For example, on his TH-cam channel Dr Grande says that compulsive hoarding disorder used to be considered a form of obsessive-compulsive disorder but that has changed. I know the hands of those on the bench are tied when it comes to sentencing "psychopaths". If a judge were to make a hospital order in cases such as the Bint case, the psychiatrists, after a few days of observation, would just say the person was "untreatable" and discharge him to prison. But judges when saying there is no treatment could emphasise AT PRESENT. I think that might give a glimmer of hope to the loved ones of the prisoner.
Here in America in our judicial system its three strikes your out. After the third time you are incarcerated for life . I think that countries would have less problems if they adopt this system
MDs in ERs are so busy with their own patients that they don't have time to pay attention to what other doctors are doing. Even real med students goof off by scheduling dead patients on Friday afternoons in clinic so they can get off early because they know that nobody will show up. Sometimes the supervising MD doesn't even count how many patients their students see, so some guys would just goof off, go on break and let others do all the work. They all worked in separate exam rooms, so no one was all the wiser except some of the nurses who didn't speak up.
Do the hospitals not bear a lot of responsibility for this? It seems to me they just let people just walk in and claim to be doctors... Also after he had done this once or twice shouldn't someone have circulated his photo to every single hospital or medical facility in the country to inform them about him and inform notify the police if he showed up?
Do they not have longer sentences for repeat offenders or supervised release? Apparently he was widely successful for a very long time. He could certainly write a book and enjoy a lot of the lifestyle he pretended to have. What a glorious sh*t head.
UK has a range of “bad language” that’s beyond every others English countries, I think that maybe the only Australia can be a valuable contestant in a match of “who has the most colorful language of all English speaking countries”.
It's happened in Qld an Indian guy said he was a surgeon was reported constantly because he was butchering patients, finally he was charged but all complaints were ignored, clearly no verification done
This entire thing is a load of people whining about the fact that they are easily tricked by their own bias towards wealth being power. He got away with it for so long because everyone around him has that status bias. That doctor took a patient in as a lover, which is an offence. Was she fired?
In about 2006-7, this joker stole my robes from the Royal Courts of Justice, while he was in his barrister phase. The police eventually recovered them for me.

excellent ,you get a thumbs up from me
I work in healthcare and everywhere I have ever worked, I had a background check and I had to have my fingerprint record done as part of getting licensure..... I don't get how these guys don't get caught if the hospital does background checks like they should.
And sometimes a drug test too.
He looks "professional and wealthy," that was all he needed to fool most ordinary people.
Yes, how naive and stupid lol
honestly, socioeconomic LARPing will get you everywhere. I work in a very lucrative field that is niche and highly skilled, but to get my foot in the door I had to pretend I was very accustomed to that environment and comfortable etc when in reality they all made ten or more times my annual salary.
I worked in a dental office as the Lab tech. One time I bought a lab coat rather than my apron just because we had moved into a new office where I couldn't hide in my lab.
90% of the patients that saw me thought I was the dentist. They made me stop wearing it.
I’m a nurse practitioner and I don’t wear a white coat for that reason.
@@christinawells2024 I start my nurse training in August. My ultimate goal is to either become a Dr, a Nurse Practitioner or a Nurse Anesthetist. I'm so excited. But anxious since I'm Welsh living in Finland, so Finnish will become my working language - it's difficult for me since it's a highly grammatical language.
@Lenitta that’s awesome! I wish you all the best. It will be tough, but keep going, it will be worth it in the end!
@@LumiSisuSusi just be an RN my buddy's wife basically just pics where she wants to work because there is such a demand she's worked at the jail she works at convalescent homes and doesn't even have to lift a finger she's just a nurse on staff and they pay her exceptionally well then you don't have to deal with being the doctor and having an ridiculous malpractice insurance and all the other crap that goes along with buying your own office kissing your Paces asses for them to sue you over something stupid
@@WillaHerrera But I don't want to just be an RN. I have my career goal and I like to be challenged. I don't want to get paid for basically doing nothing. That's the difference between your friend's wife and I. I want to positively effect the broken system which more often than not ignores the roll of nutrients in regards to mental health and general illnesses. I would feel unfulfilled just taking a paycheck. This isn't a job for me, this is an extension to my innate nature of being; my desires to leave the world and the medical field a better place than it was before I entered the field. Without even having my RN certification I have been able to help several people with illnesses by addressing their symptoms which were, to me, clearly a nutritional deficiency expressing it's self e.g. B12, or D. And I was right after they asked for the tests I suggested. But all that aside, yes it's great to know that once registered all of Europe, and the greater world without language barriers is open to me if I wish to travel.
To have just an ounce of this guys confidence would be great! As a doctor, I cannot imagine the bs he must had been telling the poor patients.
Even as a conman he's a failure, he gets caught every time just after weeks, his 'cons' are just used to steal credit cards and some cash... that's rather pathetic
...eventually. But initially, the marks fell for the cons.
😅 What a loser he is. If he didn't hurt so many people I'd say he's quite laughable.
Okay, I can understand lying to women saying'' hey I'm a doctor'' but I cannot be on board with him actually going into hospitals and pretending to be one. That was so reckless, dangerous and outright disgusting.
Ya wonder if someone is a narcissist?
Tell then they are wrong!!
Watch their response.
They may not outwardly show anger, but, they will be defensive and set on proving they're right, they overtalk and can't stand being held accountable.
Horrifying! Didn’t the co-workers ask “who the heck are you?”
Clearly a sick, pathological criminal. And the court idiots kept giving him short sentences... then kept letting him out way early! smdh
Remember this happened in the early 1980s, I think this would be a lot harder nowadays.
yes, good point
Some of the cons were worked in this century.
Or for a woman
Not at all!!! Whilst caring for my poor husband in hospital, I had to wear an apron and this immediately had granted me access to every ward and every room! No one had asked any questions!
Sadly not. Identity theft is very easy to do because so much is done online. Banks, Healthcare, Taxes and so on.
I believe in the USA it's worse.
Makes me sick.
I hope he doesn't escalate his behavior beyond the seemingly petty crimes here, as bad as they are...Narcissists are so unpredictable
Check out the movie Paper Mask of you can find it. It had to be based on this guy.
every human is a Narcissist
You must be watching a different video. Ask his "patients" how petty they thought his crime faking to be a doctor.
Oh ffs like you're qualified to diagnose
There is nothing "petty" about posing as a doctor and carrying out procedures. Anyone who was unwittingly treated by this conman probably feels violated to this day.
Roger from American Dad! Is this you?! 😂
😂😂😂😂
No it's not
Timestamps or it didn't happen
This is so thorough, how they explain why he does what he does. Great content. Wish they had more like this, with all the expert opinions and contributions.
It's SO crazy because my ex-husband was JUST like this!! He is a habitual liar who will take on a persona that even HE believed because he lied and scammed so much. My ex has an identical twin and he uses his credentials. I after we were divorced I found out about secret scam companies that he had created. Its sad...but he is the same way to this day! Working as a high position in a company using a fake college degree. With fake credentials that are actually his brothers!🤦🏾♀️
Report him on Crimestoppers
I've known two people like this, plus a factious faker who's addicted to going to the E.R. Also my sister who had both of these problems.
That's how people on the narcissistic spectrum are. They all lie to themselves until they believe their own lies. They won't admit to any wrong doing either. They will turn it around and accuse the other person of what they are doing. Dangerous individuals to be around especially if you don't know what you're dealing with.
And the senior staff put him in to the position! They are as much to blame and yet no responsibility is taken! Scapegoat springs to mind! The people in power believe they are untouchable!
I hardly think Bint is the scapegoat in this story.
If I saw a face in the hospital like his mug shot, claiming to be a doctor, I think I would have suddenly got better.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
lol he kinda look like Norman Bates
Did they say he was handsome?😂
but how could he get his name in the payrole? or did he actually aply for the job? if he aplied for the job, how could he fake his doctor licsense?
I feel this documentary is a scam. no way he pull this off more than 1 day you have to be check out licsense and your back ground from other hospitals
He never applied, he literally just walked in off the street and started pretending

Oh my goodness, this guy is still out there?! Come on UK, you have to do better than that at keeping these scumbags off the streets!
He would have had the book thrown at him in the US.
I can not imaging someone pretending to be a doctor. Even when you have satisfied patients, if someone dies you always get the blame.
I’m surprised none of his colleagues figured it out. People who work in the medical field, especially for a long time, usually can tell people that are pretending to know what they are taking about.
Wow! I’m surprised the high end car dealership didn’t have trackers on their expensive vehicles!
What I don't understand are not hospitals responsible to do a credential check?. Even in the 1970's and 1980's you can't get a job as an LVN without being asked for picture ID, references, schooling information, CV, etc..... It's one thing to con women and act as a financial advisor, but how does he manage to go into the hospital systems, especially after being caught and being thrown in jail more than once. I mean this is the UK, not some rural village in a third world country. That does not give someone much confidence in the health care system.
I love how he told them the supposed reality of why he is the way he is and they just believed him😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It hasn't gone away. We now have "Doctors" from overseas where their "qualifications" are just as bogus, having paid bribes for certification.
how on earth did he get away with it for so long
Best joke I ever heard was: trust me I'm a Politician.!! 😁
'Trust me I am a politician' is an oxymoron I would think
I don't know why the courts haven't taken steps to curb Bent's love for the con by simply putting him under surveillance as soon as he's released from prison + catching him as soon as he launches himself in another scam instead of waiting for months later.
He needs to never get out of prison
THIS CONMAN SERIES IS FANTASTIC
Steal your heart and your cash 😱. If someone say " Trust Me " run!!
I never trust someone who says "Trust me". They are always NOT to be trusted.
How did he order x-rays though? I assume he had no idea about the admin processes, and must have been obvious to colleagues and admin staff?! And what did he do with the collapsed lung? Like where would you even start?
It was the 80s.
Back then doctor simply told others what to do. No digital anything and doctors weren't questioned
Too many repetitions. Could have been a lot shorter .
Bint was jailed for impersonating Sir Keir Starmer who was the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
Speaking on an episode of Life Stories, which aired on June 1, 2021, Sir Keir told Piers Morgan that Bint answered lonely hearts' adverts in the Sunday Times pretending to be him.
Sir Keir said: “He would take a taxi down to see one of the women that he was seeing as Keir Starmer, down to the West Country, and say put the bill on the Crown Prosecution Service, director of public prosecutions.
and they do it without requiring any proof? WTH
Keri starmer is now the leader of the Labour Party the largest opposition party for non uk viewers
This loser has no shame.
These so called “experts” making excuses for this man’s evil actions- as psychiatric problem- are appalling! It’s an insult to people who are actually diagnosed with psychiatric illness!!!!!!!!
I don't understand why security policies and procedures at every hospital in the country were not changed the moment he was charged from his very first hospital breach. I honestly don't understand either why more efforts were not made for this man to be incarcareted in a long-term secure forensic mental health facility.
I have a hundred bucks that says he doesn't have a scar from the appendix operation. He was just conning the reporter.
And when he gets out the next time, he will become Vladmir Putin.
Lol well he'd be well practiced in administering Radiation Therapy in that case.
😅😅😅🙌
Hospitals all now have staff only access key cards and no one can enter A&E without being scanned in with a barcode
This is like guys who claim to be Special Forces, Navy Seal, SAS etc. They often have never served at all. Or if they have, they had a terrible record and/or were kicked out for bad conduct/disciplinary reasons. Be careful of the people who spin war stories down the pub, they might not be who you think they are
I don’t know why anyone would have respect for someone who was bragging about being in an imperialist military.
They never disclose that information when in service. My son just says he is military but doesn't say anymore.

I always told patients to not bring valuables to the hospital, and if they did, to put them in the hospital safe or send them home with a family member. There are no safes or even lockers in hospital rooms.
Trust me this guy is brilliant,a genius.
That's why he never got caught
I miss this👌🏼
Why wasn't every hospital and clinic sent his mugshot through their College of Physicians and Surgeons?
The 80s.....
A full third of the program is repetition, Still pics used again and again, script repeated...it's unbearable. Just google Paul Bint, read it & be done with it.
Jeez, if you could just look everything up in a book instead of going to a doctor, think of all the money we'd save!
The odd thing is this guy smart and likable enough to have actually become the person he wanted to be.
Wealthy people never boast about their possessions in front of total strangers.
Noone who is Real, brags about their attributes.
Putting stitching on someone head 😂
Who was he being paid by? The hospitals? Do they not check degrees, references etc.? My God! The bit of money he got off women and stealing would not seem like that would support him....

Great documentary. I been struggling these scammers have ruined my life. I hope they put all these scammers in prison. I worked for any money I was entitled to and they stole it. I was disabled during the pandemic. I couldn't apply for EDD i was off work. And they won't even answer the phone. I've been dealing with this since 2020. I was lucky my complaint passed through the desk of one L. Drew Ingraham, experienced federal law enforcement officer with a successful career in financial and cybercrime investigations, 100k it up ur browser. I was able to get my privileges restored.
I reported my evil x husband to the police. No one wanted to listen, but at least my call is on record.
Damn, I'm SO sorry that happened. Never ever send money to anyone for any reason. If you watch Scamfish... they have a program you can download to detect scammers by their verbiage, pics etc....
Narcissist want adoration, respect and prestige but are far to lazy to earn it.
This is such an extreme con. I can't think how he would get away with this. Very interesting video. I am going to check IDs of anyone professional now. Lot of crime including card crime, despite all the bank's supposed security. Massive risk taker It is sad his useless parents were rubbish.
I think that is why he got away with it! No one would expect anyone to tell such a huge lie!
You can make fake id’s…
I guess he got away with it because it's so brazen. You wouldn't think someone would lie about it

@@debbiesunlight7047 hello, Debbie, while I agree with much of what you say, I take issue with "some are ..."

@@debbiesunlight7047 Harold Shipman, was he from America too? Let's be clear, doctors are important, but you don't have to be Einstein to get a medical degree. Damien Hunt makes a very valid point, if you haven't met a judgemental, self-important doctor, where have you been all your life?
I'm sorry this does not wash, or at least it wouldn't in an American emergency room, where someone like this would be caught out in mere seconds as a fraud. Nurses, specifically would spot a fraud in two seconds flat

Yeah I agree.
A nurse did it for him if there's any truth to the movie "Paper Mask".
He didn’t get checks. He stole the money and credit cards.

@@luxlior I really don't give a flying f*ck
I picked up a girl in the street about 3am and she ended up coming back to my place.After we’d fooled around for a while she then asked me if I remembered the time when the fake doctor had done procedures at the Kettering hospital and then went on to tell me it was her brother.She seemed to admire him for his ability to con people.Needless to say she wore out her welcome quickly.
I bet you he loves this program about him. Can't blame him for the flash car in Glasgow LMAO at that one
Pretty sure the movie Paper Mask was made about him.
I mean, sis he get paid by the hospitals?...lol
???? Hmmmm... so who's in charge of payroll 😱 I don't understand!?!?
he paid himself by stealing from the staff and patients
I think it's sad that in the present primitive state of development of knowledge in their fields, psychiatrists and clinical psychologists write reports in which they say certain individuals are "untreatable" and judges choose to believe such negativity.
Well, judges can usually only rule on something with the evidence presented to them by experts, rule according to precedent, or risk an unproven (in court proceedings) ruling that gets the whole thing declared a mistrial. But they should have had better professional witnesses at the trial.
But some things are untreatable because the patient doesn't think they have a problem.
It's hard to tell if the judge has a backwards view of psychology or not. I don't know why this documentary felt it necessary to even say that. Definitely didn't feel right lol
YESS
But they are untreatable if the person has no desire to be a better person.
Lol what’s your experience in the field that you think you know better than them ?
@@angelface925 That's certainly a good point that people labelled as having a "personality disorder" need to want to change if treatment is likely to succeed. However, mainstream psychiatrists and clinical psychologists seem to be saying more than that regarding "psychopaths". What I understand them to be saying is that no treatment will be effective anyway for those they give that label to.
It's sad that mainstream opinion is so adamant when there still seems a lot to learn about the human psyche. When I needed help with depression my doctor told me, "Perhaps in the future we'll know how to help you". A psychiatric nurse said he considered the workings of the human mind the last frontier of knowledge. That was a while ago but I suspect knowledge is increasing only slowly. For example, on his TH-cam channel Dr Grande says that compulsive hoarding disorder used to be considered a form of obsessive-compulsive disorder but that has changed.
I know the hands of those on the bench are tied when it comes to sentencing "psychopaths". If a judge were to make a hospital order in cases such as the Bint case, the psychiatrists, after a few days of observation, would just say the person was "untreatable" and discharge him to prison. But judges when saying there is no treatment could emphasise AT PRESENT. I think that might give a glimmer of hope to the loved ones of the prisoner.
Here in America in our judicial system its three strikes your out. After the third time you are incarcerated for life . I think that countries would have less problems if they adopt this system
Exactly
I remember coming to terms of my own ordinary Ness. That was a rough day. 😂
Why did they keep letting this guy out of prison?
Cross between Dolph Lungren and Lurch.....
Hold on how can it be that he was working in so many UK hospitals!!!
A Really interesting case study 📖 🤔
MDs in ERs are so busy with their own patients that they don't have time to pay attention to what other doctors are doing. Even real med students goof off by scheduling dead patients on Friday afternoons in clinic so they can get off early because they know that nobody will show up. Sometimes the supervising MD doesn't even count how many patients their students see, so some guys would just goof off, go on break and let others do all the work. They all worked in separate exam rooms, so no one was all the wiser except some of the nurses who didn't speak up.
Do the hospitals not bear a lot of responsibility for this? It seems to me they just let people just walk in and claim to be doctors... Also after he had done this once or twice shouldn't someone have circulated his photo to every single hospital or medical facility in the country to inform them about him and inform notify the police if he showed up?
There were plenty cases of women pretending to be nurses and stealing babies.
Fascinating! Much better than Walter Mitty.
Shrapnell from the battle of Waterloo no doubt . People are exceptionally gullible . He is now Capt. Bint (BA) .
Do they not have longer sentences for repeat offenders or supervised release? Apparently he was widely successful for a very long time. He could certainly write a book and enjoy a lot of the lifestyle he pretended to have. What a glorious sh*t head.

This entire thing is a load of people whining about the fact that they are easily tricked by their own bias towards wealth being power. He got away with it for so long because everyone around him has that status bias. That doctor took a patient in as a lover, which is an offence. Was she fired?
