TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - A Florida man has pleaded guilty to defrauding more than 30 women of more than $1.3 million by pretending to be a doctor on online dating services, a U.S. attorney said Thursday.
Brian Brainard Wedgeworth, 46, who formerly lived in the Florida capital city of Tallahassee and in Center Point, Alabama, used 10 different aliases as part of the scheme, U.S. Attorney Jason Cody said in a news release.
"Our citizens should not be preyed upon by fraudsters who steal through overtures of affection," Cody said.

Hey, he is more qualified to be President that Joe is.
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?
...or Dr. Bill
Great flick.
“He was just trying to get reimbursed for all the women who just wanted a free meal”
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.
“I just need a capital loan to set up my practice, and then we’ll live happily ever after.”
“How does claiming you’re a doctor while dating convince women to give him $43K each?”
Probably helping him pay down his student loans...
Now that was a funny movie
Or like Dr Jill
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.

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.
I bought his used Kleenex on eBay!!
Never saw that before
I suspect this Dr. is more likely a Gynecologist and apparently a well fed one at that.
“Ruprecht!”
Hahahahahahaha
