The Man Who Went to Work Every Day for 18 Years... But Never Had a Job

For 18 years, Jean-Claude Romand kissed his wife and children goodbye every morning and left for his prestigious job at the World Health Organization in Geneva. He was a respected medical researcher, admired by colleagues, trusted by friends and family with their life savings. There was just one problem: none of it was real. Jean-Claude Romand never worked at the WHO. He never finished medical school. He never passed his second year exams. For nearly two decades, he spent his days sitting in parking lots, wandering through forests, and reading medical journals in cafeterias—all to maintain a lie that began with a single failed exam in 1975. His family believed he was investing their money in Swiss bank accounts. In reality, he was running a Ponzi scheme, stealing millions of francs from parents, in-laws, and even a dying uncle to whom he sold fake cancer medication. When the truth finally threatened to come out in January 1993, Jean-Claude Romand made a choice that shocked France and the world. This documentary explores one of the most disturbing cases of deception in criminal history—a man who killed everyone he loved rather than admit who he really was.
