Overview
- Netflix confirmed on Wednesday that the next Untold installment, Untold: Wide Deceiver, will examine the Daejon Love case through interviews with the women who say they were targeted.
- Federal authorities say Love and an alleged accomplice used dating apps and a fabricated 49ers persona to win trust and steer victims into fake investment schemes.
- Prosecutors traced about $1.3 million sent by roughly 26 women to the scheme in charging documents and the FBI reported 35 additional women later came forward for verification.
- Love was arrested at the Boise airport and charged in a federal case filed in Oregon; he pleaded not guilty and remains held pending a jury trial set for Dec. 15, 2026.
- The case has raised questions about how teams, social platforms and search systems detected or amplified the fake persona and how institutions respond when alleged victims report concerns.
