The great thing about interviewing a person with a NARCISSISTIC PERSONALITY is that they basically interview themselves.
Hey that is a salient observation
Hahaha ♥️
🤣
😂 yep we do that
So fucking true!!
this channel is basically the greyhound bus of KZhead
hilarious!
I only went on greyhound once and I can confirm, it was insane, it was like encountering random event after random event

I love how he is most upset that no one had a giggle at his names 😂😂 that's the best part of this entire story!!
Yeah I was crying laughing picturing his aliases being read out in front of a judge and he's kind of hoping for a chuckle and gets ice cold silence.
😂😂😂 cuz he thinks he's SO witty and everyone knows he's a thieving douche. He paid nothing. We paid for his fraud. Every tax payer. And he knows it. And he is still stealing ..just other people's stories. Makes me sick
Yeah and no remorse about all the money he stole, just wants people to recognize his sense of "humor" and fall on the floor laughing. Amazing! 😂

For a guy with a learning disability he was unstoppable as far as scamming financial institutions out of money.
I most enjoyed this interview because it’s rare to witness a narcissist being able to look themselves in the mirror and truly see themselves for who they are. It’s intriguing and very encouraging. Thank you for making these videos, Mark!
yes i had a friend that was sociopathic narc and he was not able to self reflect, like we would point out obvious character flaws and he would deflect instantly and try to change the subject. we eventually had to kick him from the group because he was driving everybody insane
I think the only reason he is admitting hes a scumbag is because he was caught. Now hes just using a different angle. Hes even convinced whom ever there is actually something good about this interview.
He’s not a narcissist he’s a cancer. He fucks over corporations not people.
@@jessicag3617yup guys like this never change, they just take a new approach to the same shady behavior
@@jessicag3617it’s also the spotlight. Being the center of attention is better than remaining insignificant.

What an amazing storyteller! A narcissist who realizes he's a narcissist, a conman and a scumbag?! That's rare. Great channel!
I have worked in Texas prison system x 10 years as medical provider and I can tell you everyone in prison is con man. He is super intelligent and affable.
Man people are really hating on him here. You guys know this channel focuses on interviewing people with problems? Matt admits that what he was doing was wrong, he admits that he’s a narcissist (which most narcissists would never do), and at the end of the day he encourages people to not go down the road he did. You people will tear anyone apart 🤦♂️
Hi. Non-narcissist sympathizer here. "Hating" is a term terribly over used. Hating (playa hating) comes from a place of deep seated envy and jealousy. And while _some_ people in the comments may be envious of this guy to _hate on him,_ my guess is most people are not. As for me, I dont see myself in this guy. I dont relate him on a personal level but my narci-radar is strong and I'm cognizant of these types. I would never defend this narc much less give him a pat on the back for doing what he's supposed to do in life which is admit his character defects. We all should be doing that. I wouldn't give a damn how "traumatic" and "extra hard" it was for him simply because he's a Cluster B traited personality. Poor baby. Besides, I'm not at all convinced his introspection is genuine lol. I mean it could be, but I aint falling for it... Plenty of narcissists learn to _"fess up"_ and admit to things as long as it will benefit them in the long run. It's part of the manipulation tactic. Gaslighting. Triangulation. Hovering. Love bombing. Virtue signaling etc etc etc... Just a tactic. Lol. Is it possible he's being sincere? Sure. It's possible. But I'm leaning towards _not probable._ This guy is in an interview on a channel that boasts of over a million subscribers lol. And this video in particular has gained 247K views. Even if it was only a fraction of that, he's still he's being seen by a lot of people lol. But I'm sure he's _reformed_ and would never dream of using THAT to his advantage to con folks lol. I'm sure it never crossed his mind lol...
@@MadamTickTickBoom LMFAO relax, he's an interesting character. He's got much better interviews than this and he's been blowing up on YT, so of course this channel will grab him if possible, it benefits them bringing his fans in. You just went on a diatribe about why YOU dislike this video, yet you hate narcissism? Lmao too funny
@@jdaily2293 Wait. What? When did I say I disliked this video? When did I say I disliked or hated anything or anyone? Lol. I meannnnn, ok sure, sue me.... I'm not exactly fond of narcissists. Pathological narcissism, that is. Butter-um, I love this channel. And I enjoyed this video. And I wish the guy well actually. So observing someone for what they are (narcissist and a conman by his own admission) and having an unflattering opinion about _narcs_ means what exactly? That I hate this video and I'm a narcissist? Lol. Amusing. I felt my comment was harmless. Offending you was not intentional. Be well.
He did not admit to anything. He just said what people want to hear. That is what con men do and he sure conned you.
You’ve allowed yourself to be finessed
Truly shocking that he’s not a politician. This level of confidence, gregarious story telling and ability to charmingly lie would have kept him in office.
Yep....
right...politicians do the exact same shit but its all legal
Or corporate CEO.
most likely only due to the learning disability & not being born into it. Otherwise 100%
No one aspires to be a politician.
This was a gold medal interview. Storytelling skills A+. Riveting. Great mannerisms, great expressions. Really good language skills. Toastmaster arcs, 5 minute anecdotes. Where'd you find this guy?! If this goes to TV...you get an Emmy award.
Yes he’s conning us

Seems like he's just answering the questions
@@ethandumas6937 well, he's trying to keep a flow and answer questions.because he has serious talk style..it almost seems like he's acting.
This interview as a pleasant surprise. So glad I watched it. This guy’s self awareness blows me away. It got me thinking about a lot of things. Thank you.
Is he self aware, though?
Self-aware, but not remorseful. @poonamsvideoblogs
I can't think at all😮😂 I'm trying to work my anxiety down. It was very triggering for me.😢 I wish he would have welcomed more questions or comments from mark. If he was self aware then maybe he would care enough to have a back and forth conversation?!? . But ,a lot of disordered people have self awareness and don't care about a conversation . They care about adulation and praise etc.
Wait, isn’t reform and being an actual decent normal human is not doing wrong. And people are impressed by this?!? The bar is low for you lady
"You can't be a scumbag and then be upset when people do scumbag things to you", good line
Can’t bullshit a bullshitter.
He didn't mean it, take it with a pinch of salt. He doesn't think he is a scumbag at all, he adores himself whole heartedly, to the point he finds his crimes comical.
@@PringlesOriginal445 Exxxactly. Lol that was definitely not an introspective moment. He’s just saying all the “right things”.
So for 50 minutes he's been able to sit and talk about himself. He must be in heaven

and you listened, who's the fool ?
Heaven on Earth baby !!!
Nobody mentions the countless lives that have been devastated by this man, the old people savings, someone's insurance settlement..he shows absolutely no remorse, which is what is most appalling about this person
It's also what it takes to be a narcissist.
As other guy said . This is just exactly how a narcissist functions. It’s all about them and that’s it. There is no remorse, regret , etc. they know what it is, but are incapable of feeling it.
"It would be difficult for you to write your own story, because the truth is you just don't see you as you really are" Damn, that one was good...

Self Actualized Narcissist... He is the anomaly of narcissists, he accepts and embraces it. Phenomenal case study.
Indeed it is. Both narcissistic and sociopathic (one who studies others in order to know how to behave, how one should feel, how to respond).. this combination and being that aware, one diagnosis (sociopath) educating the other (narcissism) according to this interview, has been helpful for him. This did and could still go in several negative directions but there is something innately positive in his characteristics that lies on top of his being to where he has flourished in the worst of situations and has done very well for himself.. and others.
@@n1njatuber His grasping for unattainable love from his father was a huge catalyst in all his subsequent behaviors. The hole it created in his psyche, a vacuum that the self insulates itself to by removing any true empathy.
@@n1njatuber The only difference between him and a Tony Soprano are the methods employed
@@ElroyMunson bingo!....and that's how people end up with full blown NPD
@@n1njatuber Do we all have most of the characteristics of this man that we should be relating to? He’s trying to find the key to his insecurities. He absolutely owns and is trying to resolve his ill-behaviors to find peace. Discovering the “scumbag” in all of us that creates despair and anxiety. Struggling desperately to be objective about his need to protect his ego by accepting vulnerability. Trying to overcome his selfishness to appreciate the contentment derived from helping others in legitimate enterprises. Finding the true value of listening earnestly to others. Being blunt and truthful, no longer justifying greed. Is this a glimpse of our human conditions in exaggerated form? Are we all narcissists in varying degrees?
Of all the people I have watched Mark interview, this guy is one of the scariest. I would be petrified to be within a mile of him.
He is telling us his crimes but yet is hard not to like him. Scary ability to charm.
He is soft but still intelligent, untapped

I was actually in prison with this guy. I sat and talked to this fuckin guy for hours and hours all the time. This is 100% Matt Cox. I’m really glad to see him land on his feet. His paintings are awesome too!
Plot twist: this entire interview is a con, he's a homeless man who got his hands on nice shirt.

I was going to stop watching, but as it moved nearer conclusions and finding his wisdom , there's no question- great interview. I visited a very successful and powerful man on his last moments in a hospital bed and I thank him deeply for his lesson- He created his small fortune, legally, yet left his son ( my best friend ) in a turmoil throughout his life. Strive, succeed and all that, but "leave no bodies on the playing field to suffer ( figuratively speaking )."
These interviews really help me see the world from a different perspective. I appreciate that.

Haha me too
I enjoyed listening to you, Matthew. I had a few narcissistic friendships that I "divorced". If they only had the awareness of their behavior, perhaps I would still have ties with them. It was difficult to let them go because: 1) I couldn't say to their face why everything had to be about them; 2) I enjoyed some of their qualities (outside of their narcissism)--like one friend who was a farmer and had a knack for growing anything. I was into gardening so we had a 'growing' connection, pardon the pun. But her narc tendencies were unsustainable in a long-term friendship (she was also from my native country). Sadly, I don't see her anymore but she taught me a lot.
That was awesome! His level of awareness and accepting of himself is truly inspiring.
Oh yes, 'inspiring' it the word. Ted Bundy was the same!🙄

This is probably one of my favorite videos thus far. Thanks for posting.
He reminds me so much of my ex. I didn’t even realize he was a narcissist until we split up and we were together for over 30 years. He was the most confident, successful, amazing person I ever knew. He could get anyone to do anything he wanted by being an incredibly likable. He oozed sincerity and compassion. Jokingly I used to say if you were a bad person you could form a cult. Little did I realize that he had and I was in it. He just disguised it as a company. He even said “I am a benevolent king”. I didn’t take that seriously. But he was serious.
30 yrs?? 30 months?? Lady, you’re an accomplice! No judge would let you off, you’d be convicted right there along with him just for being 30yrs that stupid!! Omg, it’s hilarious how easily women just let manipulation and victimization roll of your tongues. 🤣🤣 You are a bad liar and you only fool the fool sweetie! Nothings ever your fault is it!?!? Bahahahaha 🫣🫣😂😂😂😉😉😉😉
Thats the easiest interview Mark has ever done in his life. "So, tell me a little about yourself"........... 3 hours later.....
What would you prefer he do? To be fair, 1. He knows why he’s there …to talk about his con.. 2. There is a whole conversation behind the scenes …i just find that comment interesting. Just most of these interviews are is like this… maybe this is one of the earlier ones

I really enjoyed this interview. One of the most interesting videos on this channel. I appreciate how direct he is about what he's done and what he's learned from it.
He has his own channel where you can hear more details about his life and other con man guests.
Absolutely enthralling. What a story. He found his calling through the most unexpected, circuitous route. And is now happier because of it. Without harming individuals in the process. Not condoning the crimes, but if anyone deserved a reduced sentence, it was him.
You really think he didn't harm any individuals? Remember 2008 and how many lives were destroyed... that was all thanks to assholes like this guy getting rich.
yes, the clean cut white guy who shamlessly committed millions of dollars in fraud deserves a reduced sentence, not the many incarcerated men of color thrown into the system on trumped up charges. uh huh.
I feel like Matthew McConaughey is going to play him in a movie someday soon and is going to study this video for the role.

@@Vincent_toia This is exactly how the wealthy 1% got to be the wealthy 1%, and they've intentionally set the system up to prevent anyone else from getting the same wealth or power. Big banks have screwed people over since they existed. Denied loans based on race, or idiotic crap like a month late payment in one year's time. They're not losing money because they've inflated the costs so much. It would be like if I spent 10 cents on a spoon and resold the spoon for 100,000 dollars. If the person defaults after 3 payments, I'm NOT out money. I've still made money. So yeah, I have a hard time feeling bad for banks and mortgage companies.
@@Vincent_toia so you co signing him snitching to get out of prison too?
I love how almost all of these interviews ask "Did you have a good childhood?" and most of them reply "Ummm......"
And a lot of them end with "otherwise, pretty normal", after describing pretty horrible abuse.
Iv been wanting to watch this interview for awhile now n I'm so glad I finally did! Fascinating!! I was hanging on every word 👏👏👏👏👏
In an odd twist of 6 degrees of separation, I happened to be working in Tampa and Temple Hills, FL during that same time he was elevating Ybor city area (2000-2003). There were actually up and coming areas of Ybor city and I was actually staying in a Hilton Garden Inn right in the heart of that resurgence area. I was working in Tampa and Tempe hills during the week and and then flying back home to the northeast each weekend. So, when he says the homes he was inflating were crack houses, he is spot on. 85% of Ybor city was a bad slum at that time with only a small area of revitalization in progress. Amazing to me that my path and the backyard if his scams interconnected. It further makes me wonder if that resurgent area was due to prospective investments based on his false inflation of housing in the area making it appear as if the region was coming back.
That's interesting. All the homes in Ybor are going for $300,000 and up now. I was buying them for $50,000 to $75,000. Crazy!

Yeah man. Those who arrested , prosecuted and locked him up have done more to hurt actual citizens I’m sure.
Uh no he scammed homeowners
Nah it was banks
@Carlos Fuentes Carlos, temporarily artificially inflating nearby home prices by fraud isn't really good for anyone. Maybe it's good if you happened to sell at that time, but that means it's obviously bad if you're a buying the home, and paying the inflated price. It's bad even if own the property and don't buy/sell. The lenders got burned the worst, and I could care less about them, but Cox destroyed people's lives. Two minutes skimming on google: "Cox's victims have been forced to pay tens of thousands of dollars to lawyers to save their property from foreclosure on unpaid fraudulent loans. They have had to clean up ruined credit. "It's been so stressful, both financially and psychologically," says Bridget Brown." There are dozens of quotes like this. It appears several people were evicted based on fraudulent foreclosure proceedings. He did not make home owners richer. That's bullshit.
“it’s a bad day” lmao I honestly can’t help but like this guy, Probably why he got away with so many scams, he is charismatic.
This guy would make great laywer ceo or something.. power of charisma is incredible..

I loved this, an insight into a topic I know nothing about! What a great interview!! Keep doing what ur doing Carter 😊
Him breaking down the snitching code is something everyone needs to hear.
"When I started writing the stories of my fellow inmates, and publishing books, and my life began to have a purpose that wasn't illegal, and I started accomplishing something that I loved, everything changed, and I sleep like a baby now". I think that's the message to take away here
The fact that dude recognizes (allegedly) he’s a sociopath, is pretty impressive. Although, this apparent ability to self-reflect and, therefore, exhibit some level of honesty and candidness is part of the con. Those of you who are familiar with this sort of tactic know exactly what I’m talking about.
Agreed 100% !
As he said in the interview... he don't give a fuck what you think.
Probably most psycho/sociopaths know what they are
Exactly! Once you see this in a person, you can't un-see it. It's a gift to understand and experience this level of manipulation. Can't un-see it meaning you forever spot it in others quickly. There really is just one simple way to figure out who is who among people. Always look at their motivation. You can easily spot the personality disorders this way and protect yourself. A narcissists motivation is elevate what people think of them and gain attention. In this video you see how he uses honesty to elevate your opinion of him and doing this video gains him the spotlight. He CAN say he is a narcissist honestly. And understand that he is. But, he doesn't care that he is!!!!!
A true hustler keeps their mouth shut. Let your narcissism lose at the bar.
Awesome interview mark. Mathew I'm glad you got your life together, and hv found real happiness you're a good one you deserve that second shot and you're making the most of it. Rock on brotha! 👍✌️

"If you had honor you'd be working at walmart" that's a humbling and powerful statement. People always dream glory comes with honor, but in everyday life, it doesn't

You’re right.

Best interview on here that I've seen 👏🏾
This dude is an amazing storyteller...I actually legit listened to him for 50 minutes. I guess that’s why he made a great conman 😂😂😂
Same. I couldn't stop listening. Lol
He was also on the podcast KONCRETE. He has his story but he also now writes about other criminals. He just helped co-host an interview he wrote about another con-artist that blows Matt out of the water. It’s called Miami’s Darklord of Credit card scams. That was a really good one too. Y’all should check it out on here on YT.
You've gotta read some of his books.. He co-authored a book about the main character in the War Dogs movie also. www.miaminewtimes.com/news/war-dogs-efraim-diveroli-sues-mortgage-fraud-king-matthew-cox-over-memoir-9964443
I'm the opposite, can't listen to him past 11 minutes and not from any judgment or disgust. Just making me wanna fall asleep tbh
Yep
This is great! Favorite line: “That judge had no sense of humor.”
Na...my favourite... "when you call your lawyer and she starts crying on the phone...you have an issue" .... classic stuff.
Lol 😂

A+! Terrific subject and interview Mark! Thank you for expanding your interviews and bringing in people from all walks of life. Very engaging. Hugs from Alaska❤
This was extraordinary, this was great!
I have a small time conman friend they always act repentant and self depreciating. Its part of the con.
This guy isn’t repentant in the least. He’s not even trying to pretend he his. So not sure what you are talking about.
Yeo because that's the hook
it’s not really always part of the con bruh, some people really do hate themselves and that’s why they act purposefully destructive
@@odi2412 these people live under a rock. They think a con man is a 1960s style movie con man who just come anyone he meets. He isn't that kind of con man, he only conned the people who he needed to to steal from the bank.
Thats a terrible con.
Scares me that this guy is no different than 70 percent of “successful” people in America. We breed , encourage and reward that sort of thing.
Lol just cuz your broke doesn’t mean successful people are frauds. You sound like a narcissist
@@ngpdreamteam2k4 you sound like a douche
@@flintliddon Haha fr. You tell him
@@ngpdreamteam2k4 🥴
with 27 years in prison???
Amazing story. Thank you for sharing.
Subbed to both channels! Well done on all the great work 👍
This would be a great movie.
Google him, he's got a lot in the works.
Watch his other interviews
Yes!
For sure!!
"Better Call Saul"
Soft White Underbelly stories are gold, but this one is platinum. Probably my most enjoyable story so far.
Yes! I thought the same!
Very good one! Have you seen lad bible? There was one about a guy escaping from I think a Thai prison. Was insane dude. Check it out
Watch lil jungle boy George, that dude is unbelievable
If you enjoyed this one, you should also watch the corrupt cop interview. Also very good
are you fucken serious?
Really good one, thanks Mark. The guy is fantastic at storytelling.
Jeez this was amazing! I’m ordering the book asap 🔥🔥
This guy has taken "Florida Man" to a whole new level
My bf just explained to me what Florida man is lol I'm from NJ LOL
As soon as he replied TAMPA after being asked where he was from, I shouted "I FUKIN' KNEW IT!"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol
Like next level
"I had a learning disability which I struggled with, so as a result my father was an alcoholic." It starts.
ha, yeah. I caught that... gave him the benefit of the doubt but, uh. Flag one.
The sentence right before that was about his mother that's what he was referring too
Maybe he faked his learning disability the whole time? You can’t be held accountable or expected to do the “right thing” if you have “disability”. Plus, there’s many “perks” when you have a disability tag, regarding to your government aid/schooling. He probably enjoyed bossing around the “other” disabled kids at school, while pretending to be one of them.
@@k.e.m4731 he’s probably dyslexic, it’s a learning disability but you can also have genius intelligence at the same time like Einstein he was dyslexic.
Lol. I thought that was fuckin weird too
I will always respect a person who takes responsibility for his / her actions.
Or claims they take responsibility for their misbehavior.
I come back to this interview every few months. I could listen to Matt talk all day...this dude is wildly interesting and an outstanding story teller.
"When you call your lawyer and say what are we gonna do and she starts crying on the phone - you have an issue..." lmao
I had a relationship with someone who was like this . Oh my word just the raw charisma and just utter lack of remorse and empathy was insane .
Any instance you are comfortable mentioning ? Just curious because my ex considers me as one.
Yeah only difference he takes total accountability
@@kellebynum5202 exactly
So charismatic and honest. I enjoyed this interview-? Lol. More like a story. ❤
This is a dangerous person to the innocent, but also a very dangerous person to the guilty. After watching this interview I checked my bank accounts to make sure he didn’t distract me for the 50 minutes to hurt me financially. I believe him when he said he is not a happy person but in reality he sleeps like a baby. Scary dude.
