The internet is crazy sometimes #truecrime #truestory #oceangate OceanGate submersible Titan catastrophically imploded during a descent to the Titanic wreck site in the North Atlantic, killing all five people aboard, including OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush. The vessel lost contact approximately 1 hour and 33 minutes into its dive, and debris was later found about 1,600 feet from the Titanic's bow. Investigations revealed that the sub's carbon fiber hull had begun delaminating as early as June 2022, compromising its structural integrity. Despite warnings from experts and former employees about design flaws and safety concerns, OceanGate continued missions without obtaining third-party certification.
Joke was kinda funny tho 😬 #truecrime #truestory #mantiteo Manti Te'o, a standout linebacker at Notre Dame, became the center of a high-profile catfishing scandal in 2013. During his senior season in 2012, Te'o publicly shared that both his grandmother and his girlfriend, Lennay Kekua, had died on the same day. This narrative garnered national sympathy and bolstered his Heisman trophy prospects. However, investigations revealed that Lennay Kekua never existed. The persona was fabricated by Ronaiah "Naya" Tuiasosopo, who used photos of another woman to create a fictitious online identity. Te'o had been in an online relationship with Kekua, believing her to be real.
Shoutout to @Leonardo.Ai for sponsoring this video #truecrime #truestory #riodejaneiro During the 2016 Rio Olympics, U.S. swimmer Ryan Lochte falsely claimed that he and three teammates were robbed by men posing as police officers. In reality, surveillance footage later revealed that the group had vandalized a gas station bathroom and were confronted by security guards, leading to a payment for damages rather than an armed robbery.
His TikToks are terrible btw #truecrime #truestory #london Mohamed El-Abboud, a 28-year-old delivery driver, was convicted alongside 25-year-old chef Kusai Al-Jundi for the 2021 murder of 71-year-old businesswoman Louise Kam in north London.
Bro really said “I’m in a coma” 💀 #truecrime #truestory #Wales Alan Knight, a man from Swansea, Wales, orchestrated an elaborate fraud by pretending to be in a coma for two years to avoid prosecution for stealing over £40,000 from his elderly neighbor, Ivor Richards, who had dementia. Knight, with the assistance of his wife Helen, feigned a severe neck injury that allegedly left him quadriplegic and prone to comatose episodes. They went to great lengths to support this deception, including hospital admissions, the use of medical equipment, and public appearances portraying Knight as incapacitated.
Shoutout to @Leonardo.Ai for sponsoring this video #truecrime #truestory #california Jeff Carpoff, a former auto mechanic from California, founded DC Solar in 2008, promoting it as a manufacturer of mobile solar generators (MSGs) designed to provide emergency power for applications like cellphone towers and sporting events. Between 2011 and 2018, Carpoff and his associates solicited approximately millions from investors, enticing them with promises of federal solar tax credits and lease revenues from the MSGs. However, the company produced fewer than half of the 17,000 units it claimed, and the purported lease revenues were largely fabricated. Instead, DC Solar operated as a Ponzi scheme, using funds from new investors to pay returns to earlier ones.
Family vloggers tho 😑 #truestory #truecrime #familyvlog YouTubers Myka and James Stauffer faced widespread backlash after announcing they had "rehomed" their adopted son, Huxley, a child with autism from China who had featured prominently in their videos. The couple cited being unprepared for the extent of Huxley's special needs, despite earlier expressing confidence in handling such challenges. Critics accused them of exploiting Huxley for content and then giving him away when his needs became too challenging. The controversy led to the deletion of their family channel and Myka's retreat from social media.
This one hit hard. #truecrime #truestory #friends #matthewperry In October 2023, actor Matthew Perry died from the acute effects of drugs, with contributing factors including drowning, coronary artery disease, and the effects of buprenorphine.

Poor Tonda 💀 #truecrime #truestory In 1999, Tonda Dickerson, a waitress at a Waffle House in Grand Bay, Alabama, received a Florida lottery ticket as a tip from a regular customer, Edward Seward. To her astonishment, the ticket turned out to be a $10 million winner. Dickerson's windfall quickly became a legal quagmire. Her coworkers sued, claiming a verbal agreement to share any lottery winnings, but the Alabama Supreme Court ruled such agreements unenforceable due to the state's gambling laws. Seward also sued.
Bro ruined his life #truecrime #truestory #lightninglee #UFC Murray, known as "Lightning" Lee, was a British mixed martial artist whose promising career was overshadowed by his role in orchestrating the largest cash heist in British history.

He issued fraudulent checks to pay personal expenses, then altered records to conceal the thefts. The ill-gotten funds financed an extravagant lifestyle.
