7. 0:15don't stop. Today, I'm going to tell you
8. 0:18a crazy story that happened in America.
9. 0:22It's a really crazy story that I have
10. 0:25been reading all day. I spent the day
11. 0:27reading about and I want to know if you
12. 0:31will understand it. So, I'll speak in
13. 0:33slow English and tell me in the comments
14. 0:35if you understand it and what you think
15. 0:38of the story. So, today is a Saturday. I
16. 0:42don't teach any classes in English. So,
17. 0:44I went on Twitter and I saw this big
18. 0:47news that somebody had been arrested by
19. 0:51the FBI. The FBI is the biggest police
20. 0:54force in America. They are the most
21. 0:57important, they are the most powerful in
22. 0:59America
23. 1:01when it comes to the police. And they
24. 1:02had arrested some guy for impersonating
25. 1:07someone, being an impersonator.
26. 1:09What that means is that he pretended he
27. 1:12was somebody that he wasn't. So, he was
28. 1:14pretending to be a football player, an
29. 1:18NFL player, meaning that he played
30. 1:20professional American football. So, he
31. 1:23said that he played for the 49ers.
32. 1:26The 49ers are a football team and he had
33. 1:29their gear. So, he had shirts, he had
34. 1:33hats, he had a helmet. A helmet is what
35. 1:35American football players wear over
36. 1:38their head to protect themselves. So, he
37. 1:41had that and he had the uniform. He had
38. 1:44everything and he took pictures and he
39. 1:46posted them on his Instagram and he
40. 1:49pretended to be a football player and
41. 1:52they arrested him because he scammed
42. 1:55over $1 million.
43. 1:58He took money from 26 women, 26
44. 2:0326 women. He scammed over $1
45. 2:08from these women.
46. 2:10And a scam is basically to take
47. 2:12someone's money, to steal someone's
48. 2:14money
49. 2:16an elaborate way, a smart way. So, in
50. 2:20this case, it was a scam because he said
51. 2:22he was a football player when he wasn't.
52. 2:25And the whole story is crazy because his
53. 2:28Instagram does not even look real. It
54. 2:31doesn't look believable. Any football
55. 2:34player looking at his profile
56. 2:37would say
57. 2:38this guy's a liar.
58. 2:40It was so obvious
59. 2:41that he wasn't a football player, but he
60. 2:44still stole over $1,
61. 2:48which is crazy. So, here is the guy.
62. 2:51This guy's name is De'Jon Love. And he's
63. 2:54holding his helmet.
64. 2:57This is really weird because your helmet
65. 3:01you only wear when you're playing or
66. 3:03when you're practicing. And that's work.
67. 3:06So, he has no reason to have his helmet.
68. 3:09And yet, he carries his helmet
69. 3:12everywhere.
70. 3:13It's because I mean, he's a good liar.
71. 3:16It worked.
72. 3:18Right? I mean, he stole over $1
73. 3:22from 26 women. So, it's a crazy story
74. 3:26and there are so many funny videos and
75. 3:29pictures of him lying.
76. 3:32They're not very believable
77. 3:35in my opinion, but I mean
78. 3:38people believed him.
79. 3:40And there were real NFL players
80. 3:43that were watching his stories, that
81. 3:46looked at his stories. So, that's a
82. 3:48little bit about the story. If you want
