Netflix announces a new installment of its documentary series, “Untold: Wide Deceiver,” focused on Daejon Love and an alleged impersonation scam tied to viral online jokes about a fake San Francisco 49ers wide receiver. The outlets report that Netflix will “unpack” the internet nickname as well as the underlying allegations connected to his fabricated persona.
Reporting across sources characterizes Love’s scheme as involving dating apps and impersonating or imitating 49ers-related themes, including workouts and lifestyle claims. Fox News adds a specific estimate from the story’s allegations, saying victims were swindled out of more than $1.3 million. Other outlets emphasize that the documentary is expected to move beyond the meme and present additional context, including firsthand accounts and the darker aspects of what the online story exposed.
