I was sure this had to be some AI tomfoolery or something, but...nope, it's a real dude.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Cox

edit: That said, I'm pretty sure that this is deceptively edited. The description of his crimes seems accurate, but I suspect they've framed it to make him seem completely unrepentant (e.g. sticking the "don't judge me" at the beginning). I'm not sure which video (or videos) this is cut from, but it'd be helpful to figure that out.

...but that said, it seems like he's made an entire second career out of telling all of these self-aggrandizing tales of his crimes (see also: Jordan Belfort a.k.a. The Wolf of Wall Street), so it's kind of a moot point. He's still profiting off of his crimes. I mean, for Christ's sake, his YouTube banner has him holding wads of hundred dollar bills—it's not exactly subtle.

Taking out dozens of fraudulent mortgages is basically white collar bank robbery and would be cool if it weren't for all the preying on the homeless

From the description of his youtube channel

My name is Matthew B. Cox and I’m a con man. I served 13 years in federal prison for a variety of bank fraud related charges, and I’m 100 percent guilty of them all. As you can imagine, I have always been fascinated by true crime; ranging from true crime documentaries to movies.

While I was incarcerated, I wrote dozens of my fellow prisoners' true crime stories. Those stories led me to start this YouTube channel. Specifically, the bulk of the content on the channel revolves around me interviewing various criminals about their crimes. I hope to focus on the more unique, clever, and bizarre true crime tales, as opposed to, the more murderous stories that dominate the genre.
