The Amazing Story of William Buckland

There are several hundred people in the world who spend years and fortunes traveling to all countries, landing on remote islands and atolls, visiting forbidden zones and closed cities. This community of determined travelers—collectors of countries. In 2015, a new star emerged among them—an extraordinarily young, 22-year-old William Buckland, heir to a vast fortune from a powerful family. At his age, William was already finishing his list of visited countries and organizing group trips to hard-to-reach places. He made a lot of friends and fans and actively participated in community life. It took his members more than two years to realize that William was a fraud with a completely fabricated identity, who easily deceived other participants out of hundreds of thousands of euros.
