According to court documents, between October 2016 and March 2021, Wedgeworth devised a scheme to defraud women located across the country who he met through online dating forums by falsely representing that he was a physician in order to fraudulently obtain money and property from them. In so doing, Wedgeworth made promises to the women to induce them to send him money and buy him jewelry and watches. Wedgeworth admitted to causing, or intending to cause, a total loss of over $1.3 million to over 30 women who he victimized as a result of his scheme.

Thank you for that explanation. I was just going to ask, what woman would give her money to a Doctor?

I see a double standard as well.
Countless men get scammed into spending money on women, paying their bills, paying their debts, in the false anticipation that it will lead to a relationship, while the women take the money and ghost.

So if the tables were turned ...would a female be treated as such for jilting 30 men? I don’t think so.

“How does claiming you’re a doctor while dating convince women to give him $43K each?”
Probably helping him pay down his student loans...

He must be one Smooth Operator!
“What’s this? No! No, I don’t want your money! Is that what you think?..I thought we had something between us that was greater than ALL the money in the world! I just want you to be happy.
‘Course, if giving me another $25K will make YOU happy...”

Probably the richest Florida Man.
Most are content to get some other drunk to pick up the tab for cheap beers in some seedy bar.

Jan. 1, 2015: Florida man trapped in unlocked closet for two days
John Arwood, 31, and Amber Campbell, 25, thought they were stuck in a janitor’s closet at Daytona State College for two days — before realizing they could just open the door and walk out.

Nope that's not Jim. Gassy is an Anesthesiologist.
I suspect this Dr. is more likely a Gynecologist and apparently a well fed one at that.
