He Showed Her a Passport - Then Stole Half a Million Pounds

She produced a valid British passport unprompted on their first date and the man across from her used it to convince her he was who he claimed - a charmed Dr. Alexander de Arriken with a laminated identity. That single gesture led Christine Handy to lose £500,000, her home, and three years of her life; how did a fabricated identity include an apparently official passport?

In this episode, we follow the timeline from the first morning coffee in a Cheltenham cafeteria to the wine-bar date when the passport appeared, tracing the payments, the parallel life he maintained, and the unanswered question of where that passport came from - could it have been manufactured, stolen, or obtained another way?

Person: Christine Handy
Person: Mark Hatton (also used names Dr. Alexander Mark Alphonsus Nathanael de Rothschild Arakan Hatton, Alexander de Arriken)
Location: Cheltenham
Date: June 23, 2003
Sentence: 18 years (Crown Court)

- Christine transferred £75,000 in December 2003 for what he said was London Business School tuition.
- Christine owned a house valued at £500,000 before the fraud.
- Mark Hatton was living simultaneously with another woman in Cirencester while courting Christine.
- The other woman’s daughter was 13 years old when Hatton moved in with them.
- The passport with the long aristocratic name was produced unprompted on the first proper date at a wine bar downstairs in Cheltenham.
