Summary

Conman allegedly took over $70,000 from actor Ben Taylor over a decade.
Howlett conned a doctor out of $150,000 for a film that never materialized.
Victims claim Howlett's manipulative tactics led to financial ruin.

Joshua Howlett, a convicted conman, is under scrutiny for allegedly perpetrating a decade-long scam that has left multiple individuals financially depleted. Actor Ben Taylor claims Howlett solicited over $70,000 for three separate film projects, promising Hollywood connections and securing grants that never materialized. These solicitations spanned from February 2014 to 2019, with Taylor ultimately receiving minimal project development, a process he now recognizes as gaslighting.

Further allegations detail how Howlett defrauded a doctor of $150,000 in 2016 intended for a film called 'Better Half,' with the funds being spent on personal expenses. This occurred concurrently with Howlett's failed attempt to secure NBA star Matthew Dellavedova for a biographical movie. Dellavedova's manager expressed concerns about Howlett's character, labeling him untrustworthy and evasive.
