## Resource

Medi Abalimba had a talent for convincing people he was someone else. Over the years, he posed as professional footballers, wealthy businessmen and well-connected insiders, gaining access to luxury lifestyles and the trust of his victims. In this episode of the UK True Crime podcast, I examine the rise and repeated downfall of one of Britain's most prolific fraudsters, and how his lies continued to convince new victims to spend their mone on him, despite his multiple convictions. Sometimes it seems, jsut having the confidence is everything... I release episodes of the UK True Crime podcast every Tuesday and Friday, so please do join me again on Friday for the next episode.
