“I was hypnotized”: how “Steeve the smooth talker”, fake antique dealer, scammed old ladies

He did not come to his trial because “he has a lot of difficulty moving around”, apologizes this Monday afternoon to the Paris court the lawyer for “Steeve the smooth talker”. Blame it on the police who seized his vehicle. A modest veil is nevertheless placed on the car in question. A Porsche Cayenne of which it is said that the person concerned, aged 45, would be a collector. Either way, the hearing is adjourned. The defense has just received the file.
