you just know five minutes after he entered prison he was trying to convince everybody he was the new warden.

[lilzayzay]

I like that it’s not a murder we need more videos of catching scammers

[nox]

"If Derek ever told you that the sky was blue, you'd better go outside and check" That's a wonderful quote to describe a conman

[vinterskog]

The sheer incompetence of the authorities is mind-numbing.

[eyegate]

Really refreshing to see a case that isn’t a brutal death.

[eljook]

Derek's fatal mistake wasn't all these cons, it was never realizing all he had to do was run for President

[marymahoney]

I hate that the romance scams were initially ignored — but the theft of the hotel stays were immediately responded to

[kaneidareyue]

The judge should be charged with paying back all those victims every time they cut him loose. Nothing worse than a Judge not doing their job.

[Joostmhw]

$200k stolen from the US healthcare system! So that’s what? Like a syringe, three cough drops and a hello from an off-duty nurse or something...

[aikotoba]

My god how many chances did the police give this guy. This is ridiculous.

[Rujewitblood]

'You're a very good criminal aren't you?'
'Thank you, I've been doing this for yea- wait a minute!'

[georgecavanaugh]

It never ceases to amaze me that someone can convince their girlfriend/boyfriend in a relatively short amount of time, to trust them with huge amounts of money. The one lady was taken for $275, 000.00. I’ll never have this much money at one time, and this guy was able to swindle someone out of it like it was pennies.

[SteveBellinghamatHappyScience]

As much as there is something wrong with Derek, there is something even more wrong with America's Justice system to allow it to keep happening!

[VampSlayerVictoria]

Shout out to the lady (Dori(?)) who boxed up all his stuff and gave it to the cops! Amazing!

[digiblak]

This is a fail by the justice system. Constantly letting this man go. All he does is go and find new victims.

[VariationsOnASeam]

The scary thing is these women weren't handing over their money and credit cards to him so they couldn't know the money was gone before it was too late. They weren't so much scammed as robbed.

[zvyyohu]

"sold her house and stole her two dogs" is the most outrageous thing I have heard

[extracrispycoop]

Prosecutor: “please don’t give him bail”
Judge: “nahhhh, let him out 👌🏾💯”

[lhkraut]

Imagine if he had put half this much effort into a business. He would be extremely wealthy, but I think he enjoyed the game.
