Miles Hart had a reputation as a guy who could get anything. Friends from the elite private school he used to attend say he once surprised them with an all-expenses-paid trip to Paris on a private jet with less than 24 hours notice.
So when he started selling Glastonbury tickets, hospitality passes and VIP Access All Areas passes - claiming he had privileged access because of land his family owned near the festival site, or by working with a company at the event - many of his former schoolmates jumped at the chance.
Within a couple of years, his sales had gone global, as he struck deals to sell about £1m of passes to punters who had missed out in the annual scramble for official tickets on the Glastonbury website.
But as the day of the 2024 festival approached, Miles's promises of tickets proved to be a mirage, created out of false invoices and fake email addresses. Miles, now 27, went into hiding.
How did Miles Hart get away with it? The BBC has spoken to some of his former friends to trace the rise of a scammer brazen enough to lie to his dead friend's family and to run up tens of thousands of pounds in unpaid debts to his godmother along the way. Behind him, he left a trail of destruction: debt, anger and threats.
