## Resource

When Rhode Island native Nicholas Rossi found himself wanted by the FBI and Interpol for a string of assaults and large-scale frauds, he didn’t just run away. He faked his death, fled to Scotland, disguised himself as a wheezing British academic called Arthur Knight, and went on the attack – loudly claiming his innocence in wilder and wilder TV appearances across the international press. And that isn’t even the half of it. Before the story finally wrapped up a few months ago, Rossi’s winding tale had covered satanic ritual abuse, incel smear campaigns, and somehow, the September 11th attacks. It’s time to enter the dark, disorientating world (and 16 aliases) of Nicholas Rossi. -- Patreon - Ad-free & Bonus Episodes YouTube - Full-length Video Episodes TikTok / Instagram
