00:00This is one of the craziest people who pulled off one of the biggest scams in American history.
00:05We are looking for Eric Kahn for defrauding the U.S. taxpayer of more than $550 million.
00:13Eric Kahn was one of the biggest lawyers here in Appalachia.
00:16The town loved him and the people loved him. He was a phenomenon.
00:19Eric Kahn was Mr. Social Security.
00:24He was on the radio. He was on the television.
00:27This is an advertisement for Eric C. Kahn.
00:30We laughed at him, you know, but everybody wanted to meet him.
00:33You couldn't miss him, especially when he went on the run.
00:38The way he did it was incredible and there was porn stars and voodoo dolls and Rolls Royces and flashy suits and brothels.
00:46He opened a Halloween themed brothel.
00:49Nobody knows how many people he's been married to.
00:52Everything about this guy is too much to believe, but it all happened.
00:57At that time, I thought he was helping me.
00:59I hit rock bottom, lost everything I had.
01:02My clients were victims of his criminal conduct.
01:04This is one of the poorest parts of the United States, and he's getting filthy rich off the whole thing.
01:08A baller in eastern Kentucky.
01:12There was three investigations happening at once.
01:14Bad judges, bad lawyers, bad doctors.
01:17My tires had been slashed with a knife.
01:20These were bad, bad people.
01:22I lived in fear of going to work.
01:26The politics spoke to high heaven.
01:28The only fine government hates more than rape us for a child molester is a tax evider.
01:33We're like, freeze!
01:35We walked across the border with a dog named Curly.
01:39Through Mexico, into Guatemala.
01:41We were that close.
01:42Now he's gone.
01:43Eric was planning his biggest caper yet.
01:45We walked across the border with a gun.
