1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,160
Speaker 1: Previously on Once upon a.

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 2: Con Several times Caroline would say to me in tears

3
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 2: that I thought this was my chance to be lucky.

4
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 3: I thought this was my chance for someone to save me.

5
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: I wanted the pot of gold at the end of

6
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: the rainbow. And I'm not ashamed to say it.

7
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 2: That was the start of the cancer that David Blum

8
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 2: kind of planted.

9
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: I empty my bank account of all the cash I

10
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: have and get my loved ones and business partners to

11
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,040

15
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 1: dollars of his own money in my company.

16
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 4: He was the center of everything.

17
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: It was bizarre who pinned everybody against each other. But

18
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,040

Speaker 1: about in the last episode, who David says he's good

60
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: friends with. That's how A. C. Gallo found out about

61
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: me and Pizza.

62
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 9: Girl, about yourself.

63
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: So this is my moment to pitch A C. Gallo.

64
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: I'm excited and I'm terrify, but I'm ready. Pizza Girl

65
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: pasta sauce belongs in every single Whole Food store in

66
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: the country, and I'm going to explain to their CEO

67
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: in no uncertain terms why.

68
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 10: Okay, So my family owns a tiny, little hole in

69
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 10: the wall pizza restaurants called The Mare's Pizza. So I

70
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 10: grew up you know, in these pizza restaurants, and everybody

71
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 10: called me the pizza girl, and I hated it.

72
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 5: I would walk down the street and they'd be like, Oh,

73
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 5: what's up, where's the pizza pizza girl?

74
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 11: And I hated it for so long, and then you know,

75
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 11: I grew up and I.

76
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 10: Was like, fine, you guys gonna call me the pizza girl,

77
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 10: that I'm going to be the pizza girl. And so

78
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 10: I found that there was really nothing special in the

79
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 10: organic sauce world, nothing by a millennial mom and just

80
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 10: something that was organic and ticked all the box. It

81
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 10: is no headed sugar and just like spoke to a

82
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 10: more now generation. It's all either very old world manly

83
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 10: like areos or like a Newman's and there was nothing

84
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 10: that really spoke to me. And I wanted to be

85
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 10: able to feed my daughter something healthy and organic right

86
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 10: out of the jar. So I use my grandmother's recipes

87
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,239
Speaker 10: and I kind of brought this vision into today.

88
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 11: And I'm finding a lot of supermarkets are really excited

89
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 11: about it, and I find that when people try it,

90
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 11: they buy it. It's definitely the best yard sauce that

91
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 11: you can find.

92
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: FYI, David is motioning for me to speed things up

93
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 1: the entire time I'm talking, and it really throws me.

94
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 11: A lot of celebrities talking about it, like Katty Hilton

95
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 11: just said it's her favorite sauce. Christy Cavalier just said

96
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 11: it's her favorite sauce. Like all these people are being

97
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 11: very verbal and nocal about this being the best tasting

98
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 11: and you know, their family's favorite sauce, which has been

99
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 11: really awesome. So I've just been getting a ton of

100
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 11: love on it and on just this very small startup level.

101
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 9: So this sounds great if we're actually looking for products

102
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 9: like you were, just that.

103
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 5: Align with our values, right.

104
00:05:55,480 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 9: And products get Promotorily is a grand company.

105
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,400

106
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 10: mobile producer program.

107
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 5: I don't know about the loan program. No, the pp earns.

Speaker 9: Money small scale emergent businesses, local businesses helping investing communities.

109
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 5: But in order to discuss this, like to have you

110
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 5: and your team come, what's it wants to next month?

111

Speaker 9: Okay, that we can set that up here with David

112
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 9: to help with that thinking into August.

113
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 5: Perhaps, does that sounds like something you could do?

114
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 7: Absolutely?

115
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,360

Speaker 10: it happen.

118
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: I'll go mountains to make this happen.

00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: And as we're sitting in Texas, we were kay on cash,

162
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: spending money for hotel rooms, flights. Plus David knew that

163
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: this is a baby startup and that we can't be

164
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: spending money that we you know, shouldn't be spending. We're

165
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: sitting in Texas and all of a sudden it's the

166
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: next day and David wasn't there.

167
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 4: He said, you were delaying text He said.

168
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: He was at he had to go to a meeting

169
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 1: at the head of Netflix's house. He was very good

170
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: friends at the head of Netflix. David used to talk

171
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 1: about Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos a lot. I knew they

172
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: were close, so his excuse made sense to me. By

173
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 1: the way, he was also dangling that carrot with Ryan right.

174
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 1: Ryan was my boyfriend at the time. Ryan had dabbled

175
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: in acting, and he had said that he was going

176
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: to help him get some sort of job in a

177
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: show on Netflix. And even though David's telling us he's

178
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: been texting with the Whole food CEO Ac Gallo the

179
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: past couple days about our upcoming meeting, we were getting

180
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: frustrated because we couldn't get a clear picture of what

181
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: Whole Foods was expecting from us in that meeting.

182
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 12: And we kept asking David what will they want? What

183
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,080
Speaker 12: do we need to prepare? And he was not giving

184
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 12: any answers.

185
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,199
Speaker 2: I've never been to a meeting in my whole career

186
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 2: of walking in completely blind from or by.

187
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:10,719
Speaker 3: The person who set it up.

188
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 2: Is zero background other than Whole Foods are going to

189
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 2: give us money.

190
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 3: My question is why.

191
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: Then, all of a sudden, our auspicious Whole Foods meeting

192
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: gets pushed.

193
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 3: He would say that I've had a COVID issue in

194
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 3: the office. No meetings today. I'm going to fly in tomorrow.

195
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: Yep, COVID strikes again. It was actually a very common

196
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: thing back in twenty twenty one for sudden outbreaks of

197
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: COVID to snarl meetings and public events, So it made

198
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: sense to us. I actually got the vaccine for this meeting.

199
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: I did the Johnson Johnson and I was so sick

200
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:59,599
Speaker 1: from it. And then shockingly that vaccination eventually becomes a

201
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: nun other reason for Whole Foods to delay the meeting

202
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: yet again. I whn't got vaccinated, but because I didn't

203
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,959
Speaker 1: do it in time, a certain amount of days before

204
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 1: they could meet with me in person, I'm like, can't

205
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: we just do a zoom meeting at this point, you know,

206
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: with COVID and with all this stuff. So since we

207
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: got to Austin on Wednesday, our Thursday meeting with Whole

208
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: Foods that got delayed to Friday because of a COVID

209
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: outbreak in their offices is now being delayed till Monday,

210
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: because by then it would have been fourteen days since

211
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 1: my vaccination. Yeah, so it looks like we're spending the

212
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: weekend in our hotel rooms in Austin, and David has

213
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,319
Speaker 1: yet to even fly out here to meet us. He's

214
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: still in Los Angeles.

215
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:49,199
Speaker 12: And on the Friday he rang you and he accidentally

216
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 12: did not hang up his phone. I don't remember where

217
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 12: he said he was, but I said, you know, don't

218
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 12: hang it up.

219
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 3: I want to hear where he got to go.

220
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 4: I'm in a meeting.

221
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 12: And then you could hear him shuffling around and walking

222
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 12: into someone.

223
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 3: Wasn't he buying stamps or something? He's in the post office.

224
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 3: He's in the.

225
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 4: Post office, like I can hear him talking to people.

226
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: Eventually, David hung up his phone, and I remember I

227
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: called David and I was really upset. I was like David, like,

228
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: you know, I'm a mom, Like I have to get

229
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: home to my daughter. There was things that were really

230
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: starting to build up, like how can I sit here?

231
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: And he would say things to me like Caroline, when

232
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: I was broke, I you know, I spent my last dollar,

233
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 1: my last dime. You need to fight for what you

234
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,839
Speaker 1: want in life. You need to stay in Texas and wait.

235
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if it takes a month, you wait

236
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: for that big meeting that's going to change your life.

237
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: So it's Sunday now, and our Whole Foods meeting is

238
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: scheduled for early Monday morning, and David's still not in

239
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: Austin yet. So I call him and he tells me

240
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: he's on his way to the airport. But I want

241
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 1: to make sure. So I called my friend Sylvie who's

242
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: at the car Lotta, and I said, just checking, like,

243
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 1: is David like, because he's supposed to be on his

244
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 1: way to the airport. She goes, he's by the pool

245
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,199
Speaker 1: doing a barbecue for all these other people right now.

246
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 1: He's barbecuing at the when we're waiting for him to

247
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:16,079
Speaker 1: land for this meeting, and he's like literally barbecuing at

248
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: the Villa Carlotta. I am stunned. Why is David lying

249
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 1: to me about heading to the airport. And if he's

250
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: lying to me about that, what else is he lying about?

251
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: So beck Aarin and I go for a walk to

252
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: clear our heads and figure out what we should do next.

253
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: And as we're making our way across a giant bridge

254
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: near downtown Austin, with the setting sun reflecting off the

255
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 1: tall buildings behind us, casting a bright haze on everything,

256
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: and with cars whizzing by, Beck suddenly stops in her

257
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: tracks on that bridge. She looks like she's seen a ghost.

258
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: She's scrolling through her phone now in shock, so aarin

259
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,319
Speaker 1: he starts recording video of her on his phone.

260
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 5: Can you just tell us what's just sad?

261
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 12: He just found this article on quite just googling David

262
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 12: Bloom's scammer.

263
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 2: We're just standing on the bridge after five days in

264
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 2: Austin waiting for this mysterious meeting to happen.

265
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 12: After his arrest, mister Bloom pleaded guilty to federal mail

266
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 12: fraud and securities violations, and he traded in his lavish

267
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 12: apartment for the allen Wood Correctional Center.

268
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 4: He seemed contrite.

269
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 12: He really seemed like he thought he was a stupid, jerky,

270
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 12: ridiculous thing to do. When mister Bloom was released in

271
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 12: nineteen ninety four, he went home to his parents. He

272
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 12: started appearing at his old haunts, trying to make new friends.

273
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 12: He popped up at Nello and Elaine's and began hitting

274
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 12: the rounds of the charity galas and birthday parties of

275
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 12: the Upper east Side young investment bankers.

276
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 4: He showed up to a gala the Second Chances as

277
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 4: a charity.

278
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 12: He wore a pretty compelling story, said a woman who

279
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 12: met him shortly after his relations.

280
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: At this point, while Beck's reading an old news article

281
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: about David blue UM's criminal past. I'm standing about twenty

282
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: feet behind her talking to a friend on the phone.

283
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 1: But I can see them freaking out about something. So

284
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: I walk up and Aaron says to me, a.

285
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 2: Really messive Oh no, what he's a scanner has been

286
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 2: in Chile a few times.

287
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 3: Beck has just found something.

288
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 12: He has IPRs for people waitresses given twenty pound Beck.

289
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: Just found it by googling David Blooms. My heart is pounding.

290
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: I gotta go.

291
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 13: I'm pulling back.

292
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: I'm in utter shock and disbelief. Apparently David Bloom has

293
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: a long history of scamming a lot of people. I mean,

294
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: we found news reports about his cons that go all

295
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: the way back to the nineteen eighties. It feels like

296
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: my world just got ripped out from under me. All

297
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: those times that we were googling just David Bloom and

298
00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: hundreds of other David Blooms would show up in the searchers.

299
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: No one ever tried googling David Bloom and the word

300
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: scammer until just now. It's a lot to take in.

301
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: We get back to the hotel and I just lose

302
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: it in the elevator.

303
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 5: I all just try the.

304
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 8: Hope of like being successful, and like he dangled the

305
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 8: carrot of like to hard working people that work really fucking.

306
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 7: Hard and just wanted to like achieve something. We didn't

307
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 7: want to gift it to us. We wanted to work.

308
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 13: We booked for I mean, all the decks and everything

309
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 13: that we put together for this fucking meeting, all the

310
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 13: all the pre planning, everything that we did is just insane.

311
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: Walking back to my hotel room, I can barely keep

312
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: it together.

313
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 7: Just feel like closing up. I just feel like I'm

314
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 7: living a panic topic.

315
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: The weight of everything is just crashing down around me

316
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: now because I'm beginning to realize that nothing David Bloom

317
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 1: told me was true. Nothing. I don't even think we

318
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 1: ever really had a meeting set up with the CEO

319
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,640
Speaker 1: of Whole Foods, and I don't think there's an IPO

320
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 1: he invested our thirty five thousand dollars in and not

321
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: only are we out all that money, but we've spent

322
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: thousands of dollars on this Austin trip. We've been here

323
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: for five days now for nothing, and I feel like

324
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: it's all my faults. I roped everyone into this, my

325
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: business partners, my boyfriend, my boyfriend's family. It's just too much.

326
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 1: I'm standing in the hotel hallway now, just drowning in

327
00:17:48,240 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: my own grief and regret for literally hours. I'm talking

328
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: to Beck and Aaron. They're in their room and I'm

329
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: in mine, and we're on FaceTime, and I'm vacillating back

330
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 1: and forth between coherence and bawling, and I had this

331
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 1: bad feeling. I know we need to plan anyway, but

332
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: this whole thing is just really fucked with me.

333
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 5: That's cool.

334
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 4: Now, A bits trying too, crying for her.

335
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 8: No, no, no, I'm fucking stupid, and I'm just like

336
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 8: a drug and glies along and I'm just run run's money,

337
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 8: like his family's money.

338
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 1: Ryan was my boyfriend at the time. He borrowed ten

339
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,439
Speaker 1: thousand dollars from his family to invest with David Bloom,

340
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 1: and the fallout from all of this is actually one

341
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: of the reasons why we broke up. Eventually, though, my

342
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 1: tears turned to anger.

343
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 7: Fine nights in Austin, five.

344
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 10: Nights we've been sitting here in Austin because it's our

345
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 10: fucking life.

346
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:08,439
Speaker 7: We're gonna change.

347
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 5: Oh my god, Oh my fucking god.

348
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: I'm so angry. But what's really throwing me right now

349
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: about this whole entire situation is that I actually talked

350
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: to Whole food CEO A. C. Gallow on the phone

351
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 1: with David. Remember, yes, but now in light of everything

352
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: we just discovered, it's almost comical in a sick and

353
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: twisted way.

354
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 13: We're having a corporate meeting with meeting tomorrow and the

355
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 13: president of Whole Foods A. C.

356
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 1: Gallow, who I spoke to on the phone.

357
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 5: That did you not?

358
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 7: Obviously not?

359
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 5: I am fucking freaky.

360
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: Who the hell was pretending to be AC on the

361
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: phone with me that day?

362
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 5: We're actually.

363
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 12: With our values right.

364
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 8: Comedy.

365
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 1: I even listened to Ted talks with A. C. Gallo,

366
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 1: the president of Whole Foods, and this person who I

367
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,120
Speaker 1: spoke to on the phone sounded identical to him. Did

368
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: David hire someone to impersonate A. C. Gallo? We have

369
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 1: to talk to the police and then all of a sudden.

370
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 13: David just Textan. David just Textan waiting for our to call.

371
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 13: He's a few minutes behind schedule.

372
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: David always refers to billionaire Ron Berkele as R in

373
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: his text messages to me. But I'm pretty certain at

374
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 1: this point that David doesn't actually know Ron Burkell at all.

375
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 1: So I make a call to someone who actually does

376
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: know billionaire Ron Burkell is that's never heard of David

377
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: Bloom because Fred Durst just told me they're friends. They're

378
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 1: best friends. And I was scared to ask him about

379
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 1: a while ago because if it was so believable, and

380
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 1: if it got back to Ron, then I was investigating

381
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 1: David that he would be like, how dare you?

382
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 8: You know?

383
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: It was a very good manipulative. I just feel like

384
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: an idiot.

385
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 3: Everybody does who's been skinned. He's been doing this for.

386
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 8: Dickheads, dicads, and that's what makes me want to get

387
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,199
Speaker 8: him do this.

388
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 3: I just thought of something. He's been doing it for

389
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 3: almost as long as.

390
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 7: You've been alive.

391
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, since the eighties and eighty four, if I'm honest. Though,

392
00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:00,679
Speaker 1: looking back, there were signs that David Bloom was off

393
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: for starters His apartment was weirdly spotless, like Serial Killer

394
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,439
Speaker 1: Spotless twenty four to seven. It didn't even look like

395
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:11,640
Speaker 1: anyone lived there really.

396
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 12: He had a couple of shirts hanging in the closet,

397
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,360
Speaker 12: that's all, and the few shoes lined up.

398
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 3: David's room was like a furniture showroom.

399
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,439
Speaker 1: It always looked like he was ready to pack up

400
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: and go. It never looked like he made it his home.

401
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: Everything was very tidy.

402
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 2: I think for someone like him, with so much stuff,

403
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 2: as he calls it going on in his head, he

404
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 2: would need to have everything else very clear and concise

405
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 2: and clean and organized around him because he's constantly organizing

406
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 2: things in his head, and even his phone.

407
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 3: I remember Ryan saying once that David Bloom told him.

408
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 2: That he deletes his text at the end of every day,

409
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 2: so that texts are just a thought. They're not a

410
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 2: communication process, They're just a thought at a moment in time.

411
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 2: Was his reason for it, And in my head, I said,

412
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 2: anyone deleting the tracks every day is for a reason.

413
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 2: You know, he was the only person on you deleting

414
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 2: every text.

415
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 4: Maybe Ryan started deleting his He did.

416
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 3: Start deleting his text for a while.

417
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: Of course, you know, Ryan's always working on his mental

418
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:19,239
Speaker 1: health and stuff like that. He thought it was like

419
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,719
Speaker 1: a positive thing, when really it's just the scam artist,

420
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: who is you know, covering his tracks. It suddenly dawns

421
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: on back what our next steps need to be. I mean,

422
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:33,360
Speaker 1: we're definitely reporting David to the police, but in the meantime.

423
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 5: Record him Wall.

424
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 12: We're in Texas and we need to get him to

425
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 12: say talk about Icy Gallo, talk about the meeting.

426
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 7: You have to say, but I've been here five days.

427
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 12: Every fact you can put in there that he can

428
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 12: confirm that he's set up for you.

429
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 7: Then we've got him admitting that he did all that stuff.

430
00:23:51,400 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: So I pick up my phone and tap David Bloom.

431
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: I'm shaking with Ada.

432
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 8: And him.

433
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: Then I suddenly get a text from David. Listen on phone,

434
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: we'll call you after that. I can't keep looking at

435
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: my phone to respond. I'm sitting with the CEO of Netflix.

436
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: Will text you from the car. He's always talking to

437
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 1: either the CEO of Netflix, ron VRCAL, or the CEO

438
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: of the Rams. But now I know that's all bullshit.

439
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 1: He doesn't know any of those people. Eventually, David does

440
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:51,400
Speaker 1: call me back and we recorded it. He's still trying

441
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,239
Speaker 1: really hard to convince us this whole Foods meeting is

442
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: actually happening.

443
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 9: I'm trying to do everything that's in my powers. Take

444
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,600

00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 9: want you all commonly cool.

454
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: David Bloom promises us the moon and we record it

455
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: all for police. He just thinks I'm just a goodly yummy.

456
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 12: Now the table's a turn like he doesn't know that

457
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 12: you know, and now you're playing him so that he

458
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 12: can get his just rewards.
