It will be launched in January 2022. The Tinder Swindler, which will be premiering in February 2022, tells the investigation story of a man who posed as a billionaire on the dating app Tinder. 

Its Trust No One: The Hunt for the Crypto King focuses on the journey of a group of investors as they look into the mysterious cryptocurrency mastermind Gerry Cotten's death. Bad Vegan follows the story of a restaurant owner Sarma Melngailis, who was conned out of millions by a backer. Both the series will be launched at some point in 2022.

In a press release, Netflix Documentary VPs Adam Del Deo and Lisa Nishimura said, "Whether you want to dive into the psyche of a con artist, empathize with the victims of a scam, or piece together the puzzle of an investigation, these wild stories are often full of surprising twists and unusual perspectives."
