Premiering February 12, the series will chronicle D’Amore’s transformation from victim to relentless crusader as she exposes a notorious and prolific fraudster

LOS ANGELES – February 5, 2025 – Television personality and founder of LA-based organic Italian food and accessories company, ,  Caroline D’Amore (“The Hills: New Beginnings,” “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” “Gordon Ramsay’s Food Stars”) is taking back control with her powerful new true crime series with 91�Թ���Podcasts, the No. 1 podcast publisher globally according to Podtrac, “Once Upon a Con.” Premiering February 12, 2025, and everywhere podcasts are heard, the series chronicles D’Amore’s transformation from victim to relentless crusader as she exposes David Bloom, the notorious and prolific fraudster.

Produced by Alex Baskin’s 32 Flavors—the creative force behind “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” “The Real Housewives of Orange County,” “Vanderpump Rules,” and “The Valley,” among many others —and AYR Media (“Queen of the Con”; “Bitter Blood” and “Spy High,” among many others),  “Once Upon a Con” delivers gripping access to D’Amore’s dramatic pursuit of justice, featuring never-before-seen footage of her high-stakes confrontation with Bloom that ultimately led to his arrest on multiple felony charges.

In 2020, Bloom infiltrated the star-studded world of Hollywood’s iconic Villa Carlotta, a prestigious haven for A-list creatives. Masquerading as a philanthropic billionaire with fabricated ties to top executives, Bloom orchestrated an elaborate scheme to defraud D’Amore and her business partners out of tens of thousands of dollars—and other victims out of significantly more.  

But Bloom didn’t anticipate D’Amore’s determination to fight back.

Refusing to remain a victim, D’Amore launched her own investigation, uncovering decades of deceit that stretched back to Bloom’s days as Manhattan’s infamous "Wall Street Whiz Kid." The podcast reveals D’Amore’s fearless pursuit of the truth, taking listeners step-by-step through the relentless investigation and dogged efforts that ultimately bring Bloom to justice.  

“‘Once Upon a Con’ isn’t just about what happened to me—it’s about exposing the manipulators who prey on trust and showing that even when you feel powerless, you can take the fight to those who think they’re untouchable,” says D’Amore.

"Once Upon a Con" features exclusive interviews with Bloom's victims, including survivors from his earlier multi-million-dollar busts in Manhattan in the 1980s and 1990s, uncovering his long trail of fraud across Hollywood and Manhattan, and delivering shocking revelations about his tactics. With unprecedented access to the investigation, “Once Upon a Con” gives listeners a front-row seat to the dramatic takedown of one of Hollywood’s most cunning predators, who now sits in a Los Angeles County prison waiting for trial.
