When I watched this documentary and compared it
with the TV Drama "Dirty John" based upon the real
guy in the documentary, I immediately thought about another
similar case that is actually happening in the same
Newport Beach neighborhood.
There's a very beautiful Philippine
woman who just divorced her mega rich husband who was later
convicted with a serious financial fraud crime and now serving a very long prison sentence.
When she divorced him before her husband's fall, she got the 1/2 community property
from her husband, so she's now a very rich divorcee.
Her landscape guy, a Japanese guy who used the same tricks
and strategy just like the Dirty John, and fooled her
step by step into her bedroom. The guy of the Japanese origin got nothing except a triple mortgaged house with lot of leans
on it. When he hooked up the newly divorced Philippine woman,
he immediately sold his house and moved into her mansion that
used to be her ex-husband's property. This guy has been doing
the same things exactly like Dirty John did, the MO is almost
like he just conveniently copied Dirty John's formula and tricks. After he moved into her house, he's not a lawnmower guy, but a very caring driver and loving companion to the lonely divorcee, carrying out all the odd chores for her; exactly like Dirty John did, but she paid everything.
When my wife told me what happened to her Philippine colleague's daughter, I was so amazed that same scenarios could be repeated
so soon and almost the same as what we saw in "Dirty John" TV drama. What the Japanese American did, does, doing are exactly like what Eric Bana did in every episode.
The weirdest thing to me is another "Dirty John" is doing his cons
in Newport Beach, California now. What a coincidence!
I really want to make a copy of this documentary and that "Dirty John" complete 8 Episodes of Season 1 TV series in a USB driver, asking my wife to give it to the mother and her daughter. I am so certain that once they watch, both of them would immediately recognize and realize who they're dealing with now: A "Dirty John, Chapter 2" or, "Dirty John v. 2.0" is just happening around them. But so far, my wife still refuse to do them a favor; or, do me a favor.
