This story started with very little on the public record. But what appeared to be a small-time scam turned out to include fake companies, cryptocurrency, multiple countries and families torn apart.
Host Natalie Robehmed notes her own similarities to the main character of Catch Me If You Ken. They both hailed from countries associated with wealth, developed hard-to-place accents and made their way to the United States.
And Campside Senior Producer Abukar Adan discusses reporting on Ken’s early life and marvels at how effectively Ken covered his digital tracks.
And what little detail about the story stuck with Natalie? Ken’s interest in a sport that’s played alone, requires intense focus and involves spinning your way to a strike.
Stepping back, Natalie and Abukar touch on language barriers, legal jurisdictions and the difficulties of following a story from Singapore to Spain and Germany to the U.S.
Finally, there’s the pain Ken allegedly caused to friends and family… and the unexpected clue to his last known location.
