A Life of Criminal Fantasy : Episode 493

A Life of Criminal Fantasy : Episode 493

Author: Always True Crime March 20, 2026 Duration: 26:05

In this episode of the UK True Crime Podcast I delve into the criminal history of Paul Bint, a serial conman known as the “King Con.” Bint repeatedly posed as high-status figures, such as barristers and senior officials, to manipulate victims, often targeting women and gaining their trust before exploiting them financially. With hundreds of offences and multiple prison sentences, his story reveals how confidence fraud relies on charm, deception, and psychological manipulation rather than complex schemes. It is quite a story.


I release episodes of the UK True Crime Podcast every Tuesday and Friday, so please do join me for the next episode on Tuesday.

Hosted by Adam Lloyd, the UK True Crime Podcast from Always True Crime explores the unsettling, the unresolved, and the historically significant criminal cases that have shaped communities across the nation. Rather than sensationalism, the approach is one of meticulous narrative, built on thorough research and a respect for the human stories at the heart of each event. You'll hear detailed accounts of crimes from England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, examining not just the facts but the social contours and personal journals that give these stories lasting weight. This podcast operates at the intersection of history, culture, and personal tragedy, considering how a single act ripples through society and into the collective memory. With new episodes arriving every Tuesday and Friday, the series has earned a substantial audience, reflected in its shortlisting for Best True Crime Podcast at the 2026 True Crime Podcast Awards and over eighty-five million listens. For those drawn to the complexities of real-life stories, this podcast provides a consistently engaging and thoughtful exploration, making it a definitive voice within the genre. The depth of coverage ensures that each case is presented with the context it deserves, offering listeners a comprehensive understanding that goes beyond the headlines.
