The Lottery Liar: I Faked 11 Million Dollars! (True Crime Documentary) | Real Stories 

😂😂😂

He's so juvie ,delinquent.

That was my favourite line too. Haha.

Using the power of deduction this genius has cracked the code.

there is no such a thing as ''hadn't of'' in English. I know this, as an intermediate in English... Fool.

Spot on.

Yeah not all that be lieve able

IRK?!

@@ToniHunterOne The whole docu is a fake, the Black lace mullet photos in the background gave it away for me 😂

I’m sure you’re exactly right

Could you float me a loan mate?

In UK slang I don't loan to wankers..............................................................

What a complete wker😂😂😂😂😂

(Does the W***er sign)

😂😂

Okay but that's kinda funny

That's the way, he did, surely! It was, my question! How did he convince everyone, and at first, the Bank? So easy to fool people, in fact! 😏😏

That's a good way to get your head bashed in a few times.

The where all greedy 😅😅 what a mess

What a good idea. I will trick my BF hahahah

😂😂

And now the hole world knows the truth 😂

Yea, I’ve found that when people don’t lie…I generally get the truth.

Did you see them disappear the minute they found out there was no money?

VB I think she is incredibly beautful as well, and such a sweet spirit to stick by that wanker. She would make a lovely wife for someone else, and I hope she is happy now. I can relate, I have been married to and dated some real douchebags, and can't figure out where my self esteem was at during those times. Women need to know their worth!

@Kara Dodge You are so right. He knows she's out of his league, so we will never know what he or anyone else said to her behind closed doors to doubt her worth

@little Dorit Very interesting comment! 🤔👍

never underestimate the power of low self esteem

When a guy does this it's wrong, when a woman does it then it's called a relationship.

Jo Biden. 😁

There was a TV series drama about it I think it Starred Martin Kemp

He was a calculated deluded doughnut 🍩!

@@Ajax93 Yeah, I discovered that after I wrote that post. I also read about how he's also screwed three grannies out of their money by promising to marry them and is on the run in Vietnam, so the detective saying he'd give him about 2.5 hours after he got out before he was up to his old tricks was right. Also, Howard Walmsley isn't even his name apparently! He is a career con artist!

@@workinprogresssince1974 Bonus ball struck again lol

Wanker slang so funny .unfortunately not for some. Just started watching 3:30 pm Canada. Mom being from Scotland, Inverness. Lived in London England during WW11 five years as a Civil Servant telephone operator. % years under rations and a Blackout so not to be bombed by show of lights. RIP Mom Am myself now this next month ^5 yrs of age. We love you.

It's the right word since after all, he's a fantasist!

That's how a person gets credit cards etc to buy stuffffff... jus saying/agreeing to make the payments. Really small town and everyone believed it by his new "lifestyle" change. {from the bank loan} Fake it til ya make it only.... he never made it. That's normally how it is with really rich people, they live the high life on the spot without paying a dime. The bills rack up everywhere they go but it all goes to their accountants later on, instead. Rich people, tend to get the most "expensive" things for "free" from the top brands/businesses/companies just because of, who they are. The expensive car dealership & the whole town were all seeing money signs. "We'll give him everything because he won the lottery, he's good for it & then, he'll come back to our business and actually spend even MORE money" Something in it for, them. #Greed

That's what I can't figure out. How is he BUYING any of this? I'm halfway through and don't understand where the money is coming from? Borrowed at first, but then what? I don't get it at all.

I have to go back to the beginning bcs I'm totally confused. It's like a bad tv movie.

He had a mistress that loaned him 30,000 for a deposit on a house but he then used that to convince Kathy hes won the lottery

@@joanmargaret4899 bear in mind this happened in the 90’s when checks were still usual tender and when people where generally more naive to this sort of scam. Once he managed to establish himself as wealthy ( though sly deceit and a decent amount of dumb luck ) he was then taken at his word whenever he went. It seems strange because today it would be and you’d never get away with anything like it nowadays. At least that’s what I think anyway

Very

He's done his time . He knows he made a 'ball's of it. God bless them both, I just wish them both the best of look.❤

@@stephenkelly7397 you sir are one of the only people that actually lives by the rules of society lol

I think he believed in his own lie.

​@@stephenkelly7397 he's actually on the run now look him up

Why wouldn't she believe him tbf. He's her husband.

The only thing they had compatible was perhaps their hair!

🤣🤣😊

She should have/could have asked for proof. Their marriage was already on the ropes so she stayed for money, money he did not have!!! That's HER fault.

@@CradleEpiscopalian56 well apparently he's on the run now. Google him

He gave her the life she always wanted. Even if only for a moment. Have you done that much for your lady?

@@benjamindover4337 He had a history of being a conman, he lied, watched his wife give away her possessions and on top of all of that he had a mistress. Your bar is on the floor

@@Bookish_Lattes He only had the mistress to get the £30,000 probably, he obviously loved his wife to go to this extreme! Besides everybody lies in one form or another, maybe you just don’t find out about them . Plus all this is probably what he needed to turn a corner.

@@Maria-0017 😂😂😂

@@Maria-0017 Turn a corner to be on the most wanted list by the FBI?

I mean, it all happened in 1998, so she may have by now.

Indeed, he then went on to con another woman out of money years after this, he had changed his name and altered his appearance and ruined another unsuspecting woman. The man is a serial con artist.

@@johirsty7392 OMG! I'd love to read that story! He doesn't seem to have that sort of personality...

"for richer for poorer, for better or worst, until death do us part"....

@@Stratosmegas really? all of us? how many of us have you surveyed in order to arrive at that conclusion?

So sad

She’s not all that great. She promised not to tell anyone and immediately went and shared their financial situation and proceeded to try and spend it all as fast as she possibly could.

In fact, he would have told her except then he would have to explain it to the town.

She is very attractive

Or because she married him and unlike so much garbage today, she believes in "for better or worse"

shes actually delusional for staying with him and re-living and telling the story like it was a fun time or silly joke

The chap is a nutter & they both deserved each other. 😅

@@manuelcaycedo561 Exactly!!

What did she even mean when she said “we put a lot of work into it”? lol she had plans drew up

@@PrincessNads1 like I really don't understand how she could stay with him and be okay with it after all of that deceit. And then casually talk about her husband scamming people as if it were romantic.. scary 😅

She stayed for the money she thought he won ! Goes to show what she's about!

@@5castles893 exactly

@@5castles893 I fully agree, she certainly didn't pull her face n refuse the shiny bit of metal he bought her?🤔😏😂✌️

Agree. Wife must be a fool ... or knew about the scam from the start ...

He's been at it again-defrauding some gullible lady out of tens of thousands

Agree, stay informed, be involved.

I knew a woman who told her new husband she was getting no child support on three kids. Lied for years. Her Husband's Son went without while her kids lived very well. This because the New Husband spent his money carrying her and her kids while she contributed nothing to the family. When the Husband died she concealed all assets from the estate. The Son sued her and she was forced to account and pay up.

Agree x

Also make sure when dating online that you get a live or proof of identity note from them with "HI" your name hand written on paper with today's day and your person's face in background and only give them two minutes which should be more than enough time to take a selfie

@@factsbased.7400 If her children were living well because she was spending the child support on them did her new husband never ask her where the money came from and if he saw that her kids were living well why would he not have spent more on his son instead of them if his son was doing without?

I’m afraid so.

Yeah, I've watched it a few times too.

Have you watched it again in 2024 yet?

I live there 😢

Hope she checked her credit report!

11 million reasons for that 🚜some African sat waiting for his tractor to arrive up to this very day.

Exactly! I have to wonder if she knows more than she lets on .... hmm

@@IMMORTALDIO i dont get your joke brother haha

No.ha ..and they still don't have their tractor watch again lol@@manuelcaycedo561

He left her years ago for others he has conned... that doc is over 2o yrs old....

@@orionxtc1119 hopefully she found a good man who treats her right, I think she deserved it.

No accounting for some people’s taste. In this case it’s a liar and a cheater.

@@orionxtc1119 she died of a heart attack at 49 sadly before he fleeced a few other ladies out of huge sums.

😂😂🤗

@funkybuddhalnit Do you reckon this guy has changed his name by deed poll? The interviews with his solicitor showed paperwork with Walmsley on it, and that’s also how the police referred to him. I looked online for John Eric Wells & it is this same guy, just many years down the road. All the newer stuff under Wells says that Walmsley is an alias.

Woah 😮

She’s cut from the same cloth as him if you ask me : vacuous self-centred, insecure and amoral. She knew all along, she just wanted it to be true enough to suspend her critical faculties and dive headfirst into Howard’s delusion. She’s as bad as him if you ask me :)

Obviously he told her, that's why he said he needed the £30,000 to start a new life and get out of the house with his wife

Or a real millionaire came along, and swept her off her feet.

Howard: Would you still love me if you won the lottery? Kathy: Yes, but I'd miss you.

😂😂😂​@@RockyDave

Everyone seemed so much nicer back then

Lmao 😂😂😂😂 ahahaha I’m dying over here

well said

I haven't watched it yet but read your comment and I had to laugh I get the basics of the story dude coned his family sounds like trump 😅

Sucks! don't he?

@@rayfabris2512 I don't know what coned is. A cone, like the orange ones they use on roads when they're being worked on ? And trumped ? How can a cone be trumped, are you talking about bridge ? A cone playing bridge ?

😂😂

Yes, not just a piece but the whole cake !!!

@@sue5980 the whole bakery!!

DELUSIONAL 101

she meant it in her head so she believed it qwas real

Yeah the monotone robot!! Face muscles don't move as he speaks!! Talk about the best poker face ever!!

Wow. Is he still married to his wife?

They gave it to him voluntarily - these old, sick c#nts! No crime was committed.

If I won the lottery, I would donate all of it to the Federal Government to help reduce the national debt because I'm an American Patriot and I want better for the future generations!

@@swallowedinthesea11 , You can spend money more productively for the USA than the corrupt government.

@@swallowedinthesea11 And not a cent would get there, and that much more would be gone in minutes. How naive can you be!

They had 8 kids and lived in a council house. What other option do you imagine she had?

@@benjamindover4337 not sure what a counsil house is but maybe move in with parents or friends until she can get her own place?

A lot of men (and women) lie, maybe not to this extreme, but they lie, at least his reasons was to win his wife back !

@@Kyle-805 a lot of assumptions built into that question kid

@Benjamin Dover I didn't know they had that many kids! she must love the guy to keep him. she's getting housing and food assistance, right?

What cracks me up is when they go looking at the house that would have been theirs and what they were going to do to it. Omg and his nickname in jail was BONUS BALL! 😂

@@GA-fz2wt 😂😂😂😂BONUS BALL!!!!! 😂😂😂😂They are like the epitome of Northerners .I didn’t think it could get any funnily but his nickname tops it😂

@@straight.no.chaser1708 I laugh about it often haha I'm northern too 😁

You couldn't.

"I had to lie or she would have known the truth"

I felt the same way! I was laughing and then felt bad for those involved

It was funny then. But in the age of Trump, George Santos, Anna Delvey and other con artists, well, no it's no longer funny!

10:00 damn girl, I hope you have a sister

Yes and she’s an absolute Angel I’m sure. 🖕🏼

Can you blame her? She probably had to put up with a lot of b..s before this that she thought okay now is not the time 😂

Sounded to me like she really loved him and was only thinking of leaving because he wasn't working and carrying his end of the load. Hitting the lottery would've solved that problem. Just the fact that she didn't leave immediately when the truth comes out says she actually cared about him and wasn't some gold digger.

I have a friend that’s similar he lies almost every sentence nothing major but still lies he doesn’t do it on purpose he’s been like that since we were kids

you need therapy

Same here

Why did she? Hmmm.... perhaps she knew more than she is admitting.... how could she not know anything?

Right, like that was his biggest problem or would have made a particle of difference hahahahaha

@@kelly6739 I know. I mean funny because it's so bizarre the way everyone just believed him

If he shows his real emotions he is not a confidence man. He gained and broke people's confidence.

I recently read about a double murder in Ontario, Canada (somewhere close to Toronto), with similarities. The couple (with kids) were given tickets to go on a family reunion trip to Greece. The man had no $ or credit left to cover their expenses thus revealing his financial mis-management to family- especially his wife. Who thought they had over $100,000 in the bank. He'd lie for why their credit cards were refused & bank cards wouldnt approve payments - leaving his wife needing to ask him for cash for all her purchases, for several yrs. She worked & her pay went directly to the bank but she indicated she had no access (& seemed to be ok with it, as simply a 'traditional' marriage ). Without dwelving deeper into all the lies he told coworkers, childhood friends, & family, to constantly get $ from them, it all culminated in a brutal, callous, cold blooded murder of his elderly mother & her husband. One night he douched them in gas & set their bedroom on fire, holding the bedrom door shut to prevent their escape. I dont recall all the details as to how that was supposed to fix his immedite need for their upcoming trip, but my reason of bringing this up, is the similarities with the wives in these 2 cases. This case shocked me in terms of how disinterested his wife was in the family finance. Especially as she worked full-time & had a decent salary. She accepted suspicious explenations for why her bank & credit cards stopped working & for 2 yrs she needed to use cash only -which she had to ask her husband to withdraw for her (not asking why his cards seem to work). Until the trial, she believed him, (including his denial of involvement in the murders ofcourse). Outside of an busive relationship, its difficult for me to understand why anyone would trust someone to this extent & remain in the dark while her paycheck continues to be deposited into an account she cant access. Why she didnt call or visit the bank. My apologies, I dont have links to verify this story, but it should come up in a search, for the guy who burned his mom & her partner to death in an attempt to hide his financial problems (& cash in on the life insurance )

@@gf3473 Thank you I'll check that out. It seems both wives were in denial or blissfully blind to their husbands behavior.

I don't know about in the UK but in the US, you do not have to go public if you win the lottery so a winner's name wouldn't be on TV or in the newspaper.

@@mildredpierce4506 I know if I won a large sum of money I wouldn't have it in the papers or the news

@mildredpierce4506 In the UK you don't have to go public many decide not to. They just print what area the winning tickets was bought.

I agree. Gives it an unprofessional "Jerry Springer" vibe.

@Veeseevee Veeseevee But she loves him....

That was exactly what I was thinking. Seems like a wonderful woman wasting her life on a criminal.

Haha yeah he was

What are you even trying to point out? Do you know how disappointing and troublesome it was for them - they actually moved out in short notice because its not everyday someone just walks in and gives a cash-upfront deal. The happiness is unimaginable and they even gave a hefty buyout profit (when they were struggling with the current upkeep of that property - it was really a "thank the stars" moment for them.) It was just extremely lucky and fortunate there was ANOTHER buyer that really did buy over the property after this problem. (Though there was no coverage if the amount was higher or lower than what that fraud individual offered.)

@JT They were deeply very thankful for it to happen (before knowing what was actually going to happen) because the farm was not running high profits for quite sometime. (its explained by them at the grocery scene, profits were not as high as the past and on a down trend.)

Is she totally innocent? Hmm
