Summary

He told each of them a different story: billionaire’s son, crypto genius, tech founder. None of it was true. From the outside, Ken was everything—successful, charming, generous. But when the women he deceived compared notes, they uncovered something far more sinister: a scam that stretched from Los Angeles to Italy, a man who kept reinventing himself, and a mystery no one had fully solved. Now, they’re fighting back. And the search to uncover the real Ken is on. From the same team that brought you Chameleon, comes Catch Me If You Ken, the latest true crime series to drop on The Binge Channel.
