Fake-diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma three days after having a new baby, Amanda Riley became an online sensation after sharing her journey with cancer and motherhood in her online blog. After several, terminal, then reversible, then terminal again, diagnosis, Amanda’s close friends and family became suspicious. She came out publicly with Stage III blood cancer in 2012 after first claiming to have only four months to live in 2010.

After racking up over $100,000 in donations, her former friend, Lisa Berry contacted investigative producer, Nancy Moscatiello in an effort to expose her cancer fraud. Their investigation ultimately led to the IRS and federal wire fraud charges resulting in a guilty plea to serve five years in prison for her cancer con.
