- In this episode of the Wide Awake Podcast I spoke to Ex-Con Artist, Matthew Cox! Matthew is a former mortgage broker and convicted mortgage fraudster. During his time as a Con artist Matthew defrauded banks for roughly 55 million dollars. Due to his crimes Matthew was eventually put on the secret services most wanted list. When he was caught he was facing a sentence of up to 125 years in prison.
I hope you enjoy the episode!! ❤🙌🏼
Are these episodes on Spotify, I can't find them on there 😫
Best one yet, gonna be hard to top that 👏
Where I'm from they called the school STAR Workshop
Why aren't you on Spotify?
In a world that nolonger believes in God...why not?....😮 they think!!
The way he just names every scam and knows what it is impresses me. Damn, he knows them all.
This is the first podcast I’ve ever finished, and I loved every second of it.
I saw one short of this and knew i had to watch. Good on you for pinning the link.
After working for a mortgage broker for a short while, I can say the criminal mindset is rampant.
School was horrible for me. One of the worst experiences of my life, i wasn't the smartest kid and the teachers had no patience with me and would just give up. The teachers treated me like crap, I once was pulled out of class and "randomly searched for wepons" and they forced me to lift my shirt while 4 or 5 teachers just stood there snickering and laughing at me because of my weight.
I understand. My son ... 100% innocent ... He was faced with the same treatment. I eventually pulled him out of public school. He is amazing today.
Another excellent one Josh.
Such a likeable character, but in reality he has no conscience which pretty much makes him either a sociopath, a narcissist or both. Kind of like a likeable rouge.
His emotions and the way he just betrays no matter what is scary
@@mrringogreat3670 it's as though he's walked over people and left a lot of hurt people in his wake but he's too wrapped up in how clever he is to realize it. I do think he's very bright but has wasted it. Sad.
If anyone can, for your own sake take note of what he does not the appearance of his personality.
If you listen to his podcasts he talks about it a bit... I don't think he's a sociopat, just scrappy and willing to do what is necessary to survive.
@@Goalsplusexactly, his humor and minor self deportation are manipulations. A confidence man though and through.
I can seriously listen to Matt Cox’s speaking for hours and never get bored. I often will put him on just before bed and fall asleep listening to him. Then I’ll start dreaming we’re together out on the town and in my dream once we went to a cafe and we’re waiting for our coffees and he kept talking and talking, I was bugging him to get going and he wouldn’t stop talking to this one guy who was super enamored with him and into his story. It’s so funny because I’ve fallen asleep a few times and dreamt several times that he wouldn’t stop talking to whoever it was and I was getting annoyed because I wanted to go, but he kept telling his story! 😂😂 love this guy and his voice! Great story teller! Helluva story!
The reason why they can say “he comes into Starbucs everyday” is because you weren’t laying low. Like you said, so smart that you think you’re smarter than everyone else. 🤦🏾♂️
Matt Cox is one of the best storytellers of all time! He is so creative it’s scary
It's a prerequisite for being a Con Artist
You ain't kidding.
It helps when you're a con man.
He only has decades of high $$$ experience telling stories
That prison story with the punk had me in stitches 😅😅top notch matt 👌
These guys, criminals, ex criminals are sometimes so damn good at what they do. All I can do is laugh lol. Great interview
Great pod, been watching Matt for a while now, never expected to see him on your show. Well done Josh!
I felt I had auditory dyslexia when he said “when did u become a shmorgan burger”
17:50 for anyone looking for the fake bank story from the short
I laughed so many times during this episode! He's the real life Saul Goodman!
What he said about white families vs. black families when it comes to people who go to prison is, unfortunately, very true; I did 8 years and some change and seen it over and over again
Yes same here...very true.
this guy is a Criminal Genius 🤯🤯🤯
Crazy to think just 20 years ago 11m dollars could buy over 100 houses in Florida. Today that's MAYBE 20 houses
Well that depends what part of Florida your in.. if your in the hood you can buy homes for 50k so yea you can still get a ton of homes with 11 million. Not every house in Florida is worth 500k
He is a genius but crime doesn't pay, make a movie, it would be a block buster 👌
Then it would pay
He should be a politician now there is a field you can steal and never do time
3:39 but brortgage moker is hilarious 😂
They’re CONFIDENCE artists lol I love this guy
Placing him inappropriately at school would be a major lawsuit today.
If this guy built a fake bank website and the Secret Services didn't figure it out quickly, then they're not that good or someone is lying. It takes a phone call to the banking regulators (OCC, FDIC, ...) or going online to check if any bank or credit institution exists. Easy and step 1 in any financial investigation: verify the information, starting with its assumed sources.
that's true but I guess they were too busy to question that while doing all the research and organizing the evidence to search for what looked legit and had a paper with transactions on it
😂😂😂😂🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️bro this dude is to funny man especially the library part omg
Thank you insomnia. I wouldn’t have come across this pod cast if it was for insomnia. 😊😊
A brogage moker 😅 right after the did not do well in school convo 😂
The side chick messed his whole deal up.
He gave us the formula boys 🫡
Matt is a legend. Such a good storyteller and has written some excellent books as well. Nice interview!
The thumbnail does this guy so dirty 😂 but another great podcast!
Gen Z is funny. If the story isn't over in a tiktok amount of time they get confused, lose focus, and start asking unrelated questions.
When you said “brockage morger” i was like what is that.. maybe im dyslexic too 😂😂
Bro was so good at fraud the feds had him teach a course good grief 😂
Greed can easily break every system that humans have!
If it's matt cox then I'm watching it. I could hear his story a hundred times and never get tired of it. Dude is fu ny af. Great delivery lol
Amazing story. So glad you had the interview!
This podcast is underrated
A Florida Man story that isn’t cringe or ends horribly
Imagine putting these con-men in the same facility together? 😂
Best podcast ever Josh thank you watched every minute of it and that guy will get back on he's feet ❤
Josh you are doing great 👍🏽
I am so suprised that was 2 hours and it felt like 5 minutes ahah good show
Very interesting podcast 👌 well done✔️
Really appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed it!! 🙏🏼🙌🏻
You're cracking it Josh 👏
Thank you!! Can’t wait to share the next few episodes! 👀🙌🏻
Best Podcast in the world. And to the interviewed, start over. Everyone makes good and bad mistakes in this world. I hope everything goes your way.
Dude really has no idea if his country has a credit system?! He said “o I have no idea, I don’t do my finances “! 😂
“Yeah, her name was Christie 🤭” bro
34:33 “what’s your date of birth”
“7g-“ 😂
Didn’t realize he was from my hometown of Charlotte NC or lived there when he was doin all the fraud anyway
This guy is intelligent. He was working under the stress. Stealing under stress. Thinking very highly on his decisions.
Taking notes 📝
Great story and great story teller. The real story at the end about regret 🙏
This is the 4th time I’ve heard a white collar criminal blame their life choices on dyslexia…
Well he was a Brogage moker 🤷🏻♀️😂💀
@@Aqsi12_😂 that was hilarious 😆
Your trippin he takes responsibility for his actions. Nothing wrong with saying it was a factor in what jobs he had available, everything in life’s a factor
One of my favorite episodes so far😅
Love how they put all these con men in the same prison. 🤣 let them all work together.
The guy is great storyteller, he has got captivating style
Fantastic episode 😊
how can you not love matt cox
That was a wild interview. Matt Cox led a really interesting life... not so legal, but interesting none the less!
As someone that works at a lender! 😮 I’m shocked
wow. thanks for sharing this story is very interesting
Hey, I’m glad you enjoyed it!!
This was a really interesting one.
So far, this guy is super bright.
He is a very smart guy!
Thanks for another great episode Josh! Any chance you upload the audio only of your episodes on like a Spotify type platform? Couldn't find it there.
Bro you ask the most random topic changing questions when he’s getting on a roll with a story path. The most painful thing was listening to a topic not play out into the next part of his life. He said himself “your getting ahead of the story here” then didn’t circle back to what he was getting into to start a new story about what he spends money on 😂 griefed your own podcast
Yea he was completely lost lol
Facts
I absolutely love it 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed the episode!!
Luke 8:17 For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open.
The guy doesn't know, obviously, that due to changes in the laws, courtesy of the D.O.T., the ALL DMV's in every state are now connected. What he pulled off then, can't be accomplished now.
You don’t think he’d figure out another way? He says it’s far even easier in times now. He’d be doing bigger and better frauds if he hasn’t changed. Everything digital and he doesn’t have to show up in person to multiple parts of his fraud, banks houses etc
Moral of the story don’t trust a woman with your secrets they chit chat to much 😢
Makes me think of the movie Heat. Wonder how many guys wouldn't of been arrested if they just stayed single.
Moral of the story...have some morals....for the better of humanity ...how many ppl did he hurt ..its disturbing that ppl think this is cool ..until someone steals their identity...makes their taxes go up etc. He's a dick!!
Never trust a woman ever. Never never.
No way your secrets are save with me and my bff and her sister and her sisters bff and her sisters bffs aunt ...
Dude had 3 million in cash and didn’t just say, hmmmm lemme jump across this border and live life happily ever after… I feel like they get addicted to the scheme and that’s why people don’t just walk into the sunset. 3 mil, in 2005, in Mexico 😵💫😵💫😵💫
It's not about " have", it's about " get"
Oh for sure... It becomes such easy money that he's blowing through it as fast as its coming in.
He wouldn’t have been free in Mexico, he coulda lived it up until he got caught there and extradited back to the US 🤷♂️
Keep it up, i love your content!
Notice how bro was the only one laughing at that corny ass joke he made right from the jump💀
I cannot seem to find your episodes on the podcasts app on Apple.
I like listening to while I walk.
TH-cam premium and you can just lock the screen in your pocket
Great podcast.
South Africa stand up!!
Really enjoyed this awesome👍🏽👍🏽
This Guy needs a movie
Gosh, this is some interesting content 👍🏻
He loves the sound of his own voice.😂but he's honest about his past regrets.😢.sad about his son, dad and mum.
He has a degree in fine arts
He certainly does!!!
FROM FINE ARTS TO CONNING
= CON ARTIST
HE GRADUATED 😂
This is insane dude. You got Matt on a podcast?
Ok this is his passion
Lekker Josh. We are enjoying this.
Loved it !
He is very glib but he is also shameless... And now he knows honesty works for him.
Excellent video
Matt I hope you puting money on that lawyer books
Loved this!
Lesdyxia is infectious apparently! 😂😂😂
Great story but snitches never fit for me no matter what being a criminal myself I stick with the code
I know 2 people with deslexya. 1 is a top dressing pilot and the other is a very skilled fitter and Turner.
I love this guy. The wretched get their kingdom. Fuck i want mine too
bro you deserve way more subs. great content
This guy’s downfall is women…with the money he was making he could have paid to take care of biological needs and he also did a favor to that first woman that ratted on him.
Holy shit I’ve watched a hour and didn’t even realize
This guy was doing wild shit. 😮 I’m deep in real estate so I can relate.
Subbed both of you.
Interesting
