Another shocking true-crime tale will be retold in a new Apple TV+ documentary. "The Big Conn," which debuted at this year's SXSW, recounts the unbelievable story of larger-than-life attorney Eric C. Conn - and one of the largest government frauds in US history. The four-part documentary explores Conn's outrageous lifestyle and the Social Security scam he used to steal over half-a-billion dollars from American taxpayers.
"The Big Conn," created by filmmakers James Lee Hernandez and Brian Lazarte, features interviews with several of Conn's victims and former employees. It also highlights the two whistleblowers, former Social Security Administration employees Jennifer Griffith and Sarah Carver, who exposed Conn's scheme.
Conn, who advertised himself as "Mr. Social Security," once headed the largest Social Security law firm in Kentucky. His clients included disabled people, who he promised to win disability payments for as they could not secure funds on their own.
