Episode Details

A reporter named Steve Marshall goes head-to-head with Glenn Stevenson, a fraudster who ripped off a bushfire-affected couple by promising them mythical underground “Hobbit homes” that never existed. Already convicted of a $1 million scam, Stevenson called the journalist “leeches,” but Marshall hit back with a Gollum meme—directly comparing him to the Tolkien villain obsessed with greed and betrayal. The dramatic confrontation, which had Stevenson silent except for his insult, spotlighted the victims’ heartbreak and sparked debate on bold investigative tactics.
