Sony Music Entertainment, in collaboration with Campside Media, has unveiled Catch Me If You Ken, a riveting new true crime podcast that unpacks the alleged international cons of Ken Chew Wen Long—a man accused of assuming multiple false identities, orchestrating elaborate cons and deceiving friends, lovers, and investors across continents.
Hosted by journalist Natalie Robehmed, the serialized investigative series follows the surreal trail of deception allegedly left behind by Ken, who’s said to have masqueraded as everything from the heir to the Uniqlo empire to a crypto prodigy and a tech startup founder backed by A-list celebrities.
But Ken, sources claim, didn’t just fool strangers. He embedded himself into the daily lives of his victims—romantic partners, colleagues, and close friends—people who thought they knew him. These weren’t faceless marks; they were individuals who welcomed him into their homes, their dreams, their futures and their hearts.
What unfolds is not just a tale of financial fraud but a harrowing portrait of psychological manipulation and calculated betrayal.
Across the season, Catch Me If You Ken dives into the many personas Ken allegedly adopted to build credibility and gain access. Was he really the billionaire’s son? A cannabis mogul? The visionary behind a LeBron James–backed real estate startup? Or a crypto wunderkind? Through never-before-heard interviews with alleged victims, including his ex-girlfriend, housekeeper, and longtime friends, the podcast reconstructs the chilling architecture of his deceit that left lives in tatters.
Robehmed guides listeners through these deeply personal accounts, not just exposing the alleged scams but spotlighting the emotional wreckage left in their wake. The show explores how a man with no apparent limits managed to infiltrate the lives of those around him, leaving many questioning their reality—and their judgment.
“This is a story that has never been told and one that I’ve become obsessed with tracking down,” said Robehmed. “Catch Me If You Ken explores an alleged scammer who we are told had multiple identities, and whose activities spanned many countries and continents. A man who left people feeling like their lives had been destroyed and made them doubt their own personal judgement.”
Executive produced by Vanessa Grigoriadis (Campside Media) and Catherine Saint Louis (Sony Music), the podcast is already gaining traction across true crime communities and sparking conversations on social media.
Catch Me If You Ken is now streaming on all major platforms, including Spotify and Apple Podcasts, with early access and full-season drops available via The Binge. For fans of digital deception, identity fraud, and the haunting aftermath of broken trust, this one’s a must-listen.
