This is part one of a three-part W5 investigation into how a convicted con artist bilked dozens of people in a landlord scam, digital loopholes that may make the scam easier to pull off, and how the justice system may be letting fraudsters off the hook to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars across the country when it comes to repaying their victims.
