Shortcut: The Last Victim of Serial Conman Hamish McLaren

This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.

 

Tracy Hall was in a long-term relationship with a man she knew as Max Tavita—until his 2017 arrest revealed he was actually serial con artist Hamish McLaren.

 

As explored in the hit podcast Who the Hell is Hamish?, McLaren defrauded victims worldwide of millions.

 

Tracy joins us to discuss her new book and the shocking discovery that she, too, had been one of his victims.
