Netflix Announces Daejon Love Documentary for Untold

Netflix announced on October 14 that it is developing Untold: Wide Deceiver, a documentary about allegations that Daejon Love posed as a professional football player and wealthy businessman to gain women’s trust and solicit money. The project is part of the streamer’s Untold sports documentary series and is expected to tell the story through firsthand accounts from women affected, according to production-related information. Netflix has not announced a release date. Federal prosecutors have alleged that Love and Taylor Jamie Chan used dating applications and fabricated investment opportunities in a scheme involving about $1.3 million and 26 identified victims. Prosecutors say Love presented himself as a San Francisco 49ers player or successful investor, while Chan allegedly posed as his financial adviser. The accusations have not been proven in court. The FBI was reported to be checking claims from 35 additional women who said they may have been affected. Those reports were described as separate from the 26 victims identified in the initial complaint; their status had not been verified in the supplied reporting.
