Crime World · Unmasking Samantha Cookes - the many lives of a serial fraudster · 25 Jun 2026 podcast

And then needed to push it even bigger.

Because with the terminal illness, I mean, obviously a huge amount of attention goes with that.

A huge amount of sympathy goes with that.

Of course, as it should when someone tells you they're dealing with something like that.

But again, she pushed it even further.

She was on national platforms, on radio in Ireland, talking about her condition.

She was trying to get RTDocOn1 to do a whole podcast documentary on her and her going off for life-saving surgery in America that was never going to happen.

She spoke on the radio in Radio Kerry about how Netflix were making a documentary about her.

She was putting her writing out there about her illness.

She won a Financial Times Essay Award, which is really prestigious.

Mm-hmm.

And she won that award writing about her supposed terminal illness.

So it seems she just wanted attention is a lot of it.

And adulation, I suppose.

Yeah, so people might be familiar with that story about Elizabeth Holmes and she was sentenced for fraud herself.

And it was a huge case at the time.

And Samantha wrote a letter which was brought into court that she was a terminally ill woman in Ireland.

And we need people like Elizabeth Holmes to push the boundaries of medicine, to help people like her.

We need that kind of entrepreneurial spirit.

So don't punish Elizabeth Holmes too hard.
