Durkin's son, Sean Durkin, is a Hollywood Director/Producer/Writer. in 2020 he released The Nest starring Jude Law and Carrie Coon. It's based on Sean's life growing up in New York and the UK with his mother, father and half sister. Jude Law plays 'Rory' who is Tim Durkin. He's a lying, greedy, social climber with an insatiable lust for money, just like Tim. A typical sleezy, wannabe conman. Carrie Coon as 'Alison' plays Andrea Durkin very accurately. If you know these 2 (I do) the similarities to the characters and their lives are astonishing! I'm really hoping Sean brings out a sequel to cover 'The Ponzi Years' and the events detailed in Tori Marlan's 'The Man Who Stole a Hotel'. Even better would be if Netflix picked it up for a docuseries. It would rival the blockbuster "Making a Murderer", as there is so much more to this story that MUST come out!

You are absolutely right! Having worked with Durkin for years, there is no doubt he is a narcissist and a psychopath, and beleives his own lies.This story is the tip of the iceberg and hopefully the rest will come out in due course. The Philips are elderly, they had recently lost their beloved daughter and they struggled to keep up with the changing face of tourism in the age of technology. Like a vulture, Durkin identified his prey and swooped.They didn't stand a chance.
