Re-listening to this episode after hearing the news.
"Im not this nicholas chap, but my word, he is quite a misunderstood hero! These brutish utah policemen seem hell bent on ruining this consummate gentleman for seemingly no reason!"
Nicholas doing his worst Tom Hardy/Bane impression - just wow. Thanks for this one - never heard of this loser.
This story is beyond fucked up. Thank you for bringing awareness to it.
This guy is such an evil bastard that I'm willing to bet all the things he complained happened to him in the foster care system were probably things he actually did to others.
"Apparently jet fuel can melt...incel dreams." Immmm fuhcking ded. ☠️
You put this together AMAZINGLY well!!! ACC you’re awesome! Thank you!!
Hearing your voicemail used at the end of an episode is a high I did not know existed. Thanks, ACC!
I love the background music! Turn it up!!
How I hate liars! There are worse crimes, but liars are numerous and make so much trouble. So disruptive!
Tremendous episode!
Amazing job!
Ugh, this guy is the WORST....hope he gets what he deserves 😒
It's a shame because he's obviously smart and a decent writer. If he had used those talents for good instead of for scamming people, he would have done well in life.
I’m skipping this one. The serious warning at the start is appreciated.
Been a Patreon for a long time. I think this is your best work to date ACC. 🤘
Lmao @ his own personal 9/11
I hate to say it, ACC, but I'm finding the ringing/chiming music in the background to be very annoying and way too loud. It kind of drowns you out and is very distracting from your words.
Idk if acc reads these- but could I suggest that the background music be toned down- the two cords over and over around 38:00 were especially taking me away from the words.
I wrote the same thing even before reading your post. It was very annoying and distracting.
What a ride. Faking your own death to get out of rape and fraud charges while cyberbullying state officials into giving you glowing tributes. Amazing.
The story of Nicholas Alahverdian is one of the most bizarre stories I’ve EVER come across. 😳
Going to try listening with great trepidation
This is going to be perfect for the first half of my drive to Bellingham tomorrow! Thanks ACC!
Dang it I’ve got to skip this one.
Don't skip it. It's good!
Another great episode! 👍
Remembering fondly that time I sent you a message saying "it's refreshing to listen to a true crime show that's not dead women and kids".
His fake British accent wasn’t bad, but the melodramatics ruined it. A great episode, thank you. 😎
I hope authorities are treating him as a flight risk and watching him so he doesn’t escape this time.
About to board a flight from Australia to Bali. So excited to download this to pass the time 😍
