The "worst boyfriend on the Upper East Side," an alleged con artist, is accused of defrauding at least five women out of more than $1.8 million.
A 69-year-old man in the United States, dubbed "the worst boyfriend on the Upper East Side," has been accused of swindling more than $1.8 million from many women he met through dating apps.
Nelson Counne, a New Yorker, chatted with women, met them, trapped them in a web of deceit, and then used his relationships with them to extort money from them. By misrepresenting his true identity, he defrauded women of thousands of dollars and years of their lives.
One of the many victims of Nelson Counne stated that he lied to people about being a Vietnam War hero, an art dealer, and having cancer.
She told The New York Post, "I think he should be in jail for all of his life." "He robs women of their money, of their dignity."
