Systematically deconstructing a public deception by presenting escalating evidence, culminating in a final judgment on a broader societal issue.

    Ground the general accusation in a specific case, identifying the individual and their primary fraudulent claim with initial visual 'proof'.

    The Long Con

    Provide backstory and evidence of how the subject built and maintained the lie over time, establishing the depth and premeditation of the deception.

    Introduce the catalyst for the downfall, describing the specific event or group that began to unravel the lie, creating a clear turning point in the narrative.

  4. 4

  5. 5

    The Absurdity Twist

    Introduce a final, unexpected piece of information about the subject that is unrelated to the primary deception but adds a layer of absurdity or irony, making the story more memorable and shareable.

Transcript

An influencer who spent the last year pretending to be a medical student to get tens of thousands of followers and brand deals with Sephora is now hiding after being exposed. Angel Victoria Murdoch recently posted graduation photos from Duke's physician assistant program, one of the top ranked schools in the country. Prior to this, Angel had documented her journey as a PA student, including posting herself in scrubs and posing with a fake work badge. Well, Angel's classmates at Duke saw the graduation post and started to comment, at which point she blocked them and deleted her page. And it turns out, not only is Angel's graduation outfit fake, she's nowhere to be found in the state's PA database, her name is never announced in tier school's two hour graduation ceremony on YouTube, and she's not in their class photo. And if it couldn't get worse, it turns out Angel was actually on a Netflix reality TV show just one year ago. I have no idea what her end goal here was, but I think it speaks to the state of our society when someone as stupid as this can build a following and trick multibillion dollar companies into giving them free products to market to other people.
