American Greed - Season 15 Episode 11

Purported entrepreneur Antonio Mariot Wilson changes his name, pitch, and act to play a series of roles, and the inveterate huckster fleeces unsuspecting investors for decades, including television star Jenifer Lewis. In this installment, Jenifer Lewis opens up about her relationship with Antonio Wilson and how it went from a storybook romance to a nightmare. In the end, Antonio Mariot Wilson, aka 'Brice Carrington' and 'Dr. Tony Mariot', age 58, was sentenced in March 2021 to 8 years in federal prison for deceiving women he met online and elsewhere into investing hundreds of thousands of dollars into his sham companies, and then spending their money on himself. From May 2015 to October 2018, Wilson defrauded four women with whom he had engaged in romantic relationships, including actress Jenifer Lewis, whose credits include the television series 'Black-ish'. Wilson falsely told his victims that he was a Navy SEAL, a graduate of Oxford University, and an Oxford professor. He conveniently 'forgot' to tell the victims that he had previously pleaded guilty in federal court in Oakland, California to carrying out a similar fraud scheme, and had served a four-year term in federal prison after pleading guilty in 2009.
