#police #prank #mrballen Dalia Dippolito
I feel bad for his first wife. She stood by him through the hardest years of his life only to be tossed aside like garbage.
It happens to majority of us. I've seen it way to many times to even count. They leave us who literally are loyal, honest... I mean just ride or die for whatever whenever. For a giddy headed face painting, jack in the box who can't even cook clean or wash clothes. But the worse feeling is when we" made(make) them better just to run to the plastic surgery junkie.
Its why to be honest to commit to a dog or cat. They will always be with you and quite frankly are more loyal then any human.
And karma almost took his ass. I bet he regrets ever exchanging his first wife for this sociopath
Its like wolf of wall street
Mr ballen has the history of their meeting wrong.
He called a call girl up and she came to his office, dahlia was paid to sleep with him and Mike fell in love with her and left his wife for her.
I've said it before and ill say it again. That ex boyfriend who told the police her plan is a hero. Not only did he save a life, but he put that witch in jail. Absolute legend
Guy was probably thinking, "Damn, that could have been me!"
He needs to buy that guy some beers!
I Agree. Instead of "SEE something, say something" It should be " KNOW something say something". the see something gets innocent people murdered, but know something gets to the real truth.
Gaming toast. He's dead.
@@doublebrewski1855 dude was probs celebrating after they split. Shes manipulative and gas lights everyone. She a whole ass snake.
I had a second hand embarrassment from Dalia's acting 😂 knowing that the police officers already know
Same, I straight up had to pause and take off my headphones for a moment. 😂😂
Indeed. The split second full throttle crying was cringy as hell. But she more than deserved the embarrassment.
Lmao I have no idea how they kept I straight face. I could neva!!!
SAME!!! 😂
Want some ice 4 that burn Bro?
😂😂😂 same here
I love that the tv show cops was in town and the investigating police called them to film this 😂😂😂
Same 😅 Her cringy and straight up bullshit ass acting/that whole scene will forever be immortalized on the internet as the absolute gem that it is thanks to them 😅🤘
honestly the ex boyfriend is an absolute legend for doing the right thing and telling the police what her plans were !!! also the video of her “acting” shocked about the “murder” is so beyond funny lmfao and i could tell the officers loved playing along
They interviewed the police and they were pretty mad that she had the gall to act hurt or sad after what she did.
czcams.com/video/Rf4SaRU2j7g/video.html Finally it’s here,.
She started bawling before the officer even finished saying he was dead! Not to give tips on how to get away with crime, but at least feign some disbelieve or something
Sadly that ex-boyfriend is now dead...
She's on the same level as Amber Heard lmao
The biggest mistake Michael made in his life even worse than his criminal record was cheating on and divorcing his first wife. She stuck by his side during the dark days when he was in jail. She's definitely a keeper and I hope she found a better man.
Yea I hope she went on to find someone amazing and love her forever,it’s crazy that women held him down and he just left her so quickly these are the reasons I have trust issues
Women like her are rare, 99.9% of women are just use less shlt anymore
@@jordansecress5313 why you have trust issues?
No mistake at all he wasn’t harmed
I was thinking the same thing....
Man my blood ran cold at how scary the cop was when he slowly turned, and looked at her before he told her, she was going to jail. And seriously?? Only 16 years of jail time?? She deserves much longer!
Unfortunately I think the sentences are shorter if it’s only solicitation or attempted murder
The undercover cop who was the fake hitman, passed away in his apt. four years after this all happened.
He was forty years old.
He was found by his brother.
@@ebayerr RIP
She’s obviously a danger to society willing to plan a murder then keep lying and acting even when they tell her they have her all on tape.
@@ebayerrrip
I love the stories where the whole thing was a setup and no one got hurt, it happens so rarely but makes me happy
She did all that, tried to get the man murdered and she still expected him to come over and talk with her while in cuffs. The audacity…
The attempted murder was bad, but the AUDACITY.
If I were Michael and I saw her doing fr I’d just spit on her face, she betrayed him and she don’t deserve any love or anything
You should look up and listen to the phone call from jail she made to him and trying to manipulate him and trying to turn things on him and he just blew her off as he should
16 years for trying to end a man's life....she is the kind you put in a cell for eternity. That is evil, she is not the kind to change. She is going to screw someone when she gets out...
My thoughts exactly! True manipulator! I’m glad the judge didn’t go easy on her. He could’ve loss his life! 🤦🏾♀️
Can we applaud Mike for changing his life around.
Ay. True story
I was amazed. 😢
He did the right thing. I've been down a similar road and I'm sober now. It's not easy, but it's a good thing.
👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
@@aleykeg979 I.
Really? Applaud the guy who cheated on his wife and then marry the sl#t he cheated with? No thanks! I think there are much more deserving people out there that need applaud than this guy.
Police Dept: "Hey. Cops show. Wanna get in on some of this shit? It's gonna be great."
The best part of this story was realizing I already knew it but your storytelling is so good I couldn't tell
Serious respect to the ex boyfriend for calling the police and respect to the police for actually acting on the tip and not just ignoring it like so many do
Yeah. Although not sure what she was thinking, exes probably aren't your best option if you want to do something illegal... (Especially if it's suuper illegal like murdering somebody.)
Bro code matters
@@thesystem6246It has never been a law that they aren't allowed to lie
I don't get why people believed that
@@chrisgames5201i know in American the Police ist allowed to lie and say they have evidence If they have Not during an interigation. In Germany for example they are Not allowed to do this. And i dont know If this is in every state of America the Same basicly IT depends in where you are.
@@thesystem6246Lying isn't one of the 10 commandments
"Honey, does this dress make me look fat?"
Of all the mistakes Michael made in his life, leaving his loyal first wife who stood by him while he was in prison, for a conniving, evil, murderous psycho has to be the biggest one. Perhaps that truly his penance for his past crimes.
He sounds dumb(I'm not making excuses for the psychopath dahlia either). Why divorce and then get remarried almost instantly? It's illogical.
Also he already has a kid out there somewhere he doesn't want to see
Yeah, that’s crazy.
No, misfortune. He was a different, better person, no penance necessary
@@Cbd_7ohmit’s just human nature, he probably thought a partner would keep him outta trouble. Probably looks good on record as well
I saw this on dateline and never have I been so happy at an ending before. And even though he made mistakes, it is truly incredible how Michael was able to turn is life around. The difficulty of doing that cannot be overstated. Congrats to him
Sometimes jailtime can be life changing. He was duped big time. The irony!
That officer is a legend for not laughing at her horrible acting, I would’ve cracked big time 😂
I think this is one of your best stories. No one was hurt, physically anyway, and the perpetrator got what she deserved. Yay, for the ex-boyfriend and the Boynton Beach police…great job!
Yes I thought so too. I wasn't left traumatised!!
Definitely one of my favorites!
We-e-elll unless any of Mike's boiler room victims came to harm as a result of his scam, I guess...
Financial scams sometimes do bring about the death of a person.
Although, compared to the other true crime material, this does feel less horrific, and I temporarily forgot about the hidden or indirect cost of financial scams, so yeh. I really can't disagree with your comment
@@somebody700 Agreed, everyone seems to be overlooking this. Cheating is more disgusting than him stealing money from people.
@@ruralbrewery6585 banks have 200k secured money so I’m sure they got it back at least now who knows how long that took or what they lost during that wait but yeah
I’m not normally a fan of the strange, dark, and mysterious, but when it’s told in story format, I can’t resist!
Me too
😂😂😂 that was good
Ahhhhh yes! The story format...
As opposed to other ways stories are told, I presume.
I'm not either but I'm not interested in story format. I just want to see a like button suffer.
Wow this is absolutely crazy!!! I can't believe she had us all suspecting the ex. So sorry I hope she is ok.
I watched the original video of this story years ago and it give a lot of details but the way you described this story is just PURE GENIUS! This version is PERFECT! Suspenseful! Factual! Just AWESOME!
The narcissism of this woman was so great that she thought if she could see him that she could talk her way out of what she did.
@@KingEdwardMD No, nothing is worse than a narcissist, Narcs quite often are the ones who create borderlines through child abuse, Narcs cannot be told a thing, which is the reason you hear her repeatedly say over and over, I didn't do anything, to admit they did something wrong would hurt their ego and create a narcissistic injury.
@@TheMaestroOfMortification.I dunno, my ex was borderline, and in Adderall bad, and she was the worst, hands down. She was a cheater, a hitter, and truly believed that I owed her since her baby daddies weren't around, I got the rage she had for them. In the end, it only hurt and cost me dearly.
"I know i hired a hitman to kill you and tried to get you arrested for a very long time but we can talk this out"
@@pqddachu I have dated women like this in the past. Amazing what they think they can get by with.
She actually called him while she was in jail awaiting trial and tried to convince him she was innocent. She's a classic textbook sociopath 👌
She's such a psycho, after her arrest she kept harassing him. She refused to sign papers for his property and kept saying she was innocent. I believe Dalia will always be a danger..
And they reduced her years in jail too. That sucks.
You’re so right. Sad
She really is a psycho- I’m sure she still thinks “I’m innocent 😇.
They’ve got this all wrong.
@@dangercat9188 that made me sad
She is a true sociopath, psycho, multi-personality disorder patient or some other combination of mental disorders......glad I never met her
I hope her victim has changed his name.
Ill say this:
Your presentation is done well enough that, it wasn’t until there was only a few minutes left in the video that I realized i had heard this case before.
You have a unique way of presenting cases that hide things like foreshadowing, shifting plots, or hidden agendas
I've heard this story a few times, but always from Dalia's POV. I really enjoyed hearing it from Michael's.
I saw an interview with the cop that told her that her husband had been killed, and he said when she tried to lean into him for comfort, he was so disgusted he wouldn’t hug or console her and he held her away from him. 🤣🤦🏻♀️ she was definitely a piece of work! In court she said it was all a set up for a reality show and her husband was in on it too. Needless to say the jury didn’t believe that either.
I actually noticed that in the video just now. She kept leaning forward, and the cop was clearly uncomfortable. And it was so weird because she kept trying LOL
It would've taken everything in me not to slap her, lol. Guess that's why I'm not a cop.
How did he keep from laughing!? Lol. 😅
It was a reality show. She really messed up and in reality too. Now she's in part 2 of the show, which is called prison, a hell I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. She could have been on an alternate reality show called Happily Married, but greed made her end up in a terrible reality show. She destroyed her own happiness. That's the sad reality.
No amount of money can buy back the miserable year's she will waste in prison. Sadly, her parents will suffer too. They did nothing wrong and now will weep because they have a child in prison. The whole thing is awful.
Piece of work? She's a piece of garbage.
Damn the way she's demanding him at the end to "come here" then gets even angrier "come here please!" Just shows how much she's gotten her way all her life by throwing tantrums. She has never been held accountable for anything her entire life. You can tell by her voice that she wanted to scream and throw a huge fit because she wasn't getting her way and he wasn't gonna go to her.
Yeah, she sounded like she was commanding a dog.
category 10 entitled woman moment
Modern woman behavior. The result of feminism, truly
@@KupoPallo Sexist guy moment
@@PraiseTheFSMonster How's that sexist? he specified that she was an entitled woman, aka not all women are entitled. It'd be sexist if he just said "woman moment"
I love how the cops were like "you know what we should do? Walk him right past the interrogation room😂"
I love how the cop sounds shocked when Michael shows up at the door saying he’s alive 24:18
Awww, you missed the best part of this story: after Dalia's been booked and processed in jail, she gets her one phone call, and she phones Michael to yell at him and demand that he come down and fix everything. SHE ACTUALLY PHONED THE MAN SHE TRIED TO HAVE KILLED TO DEMAND HE GET HER OUT OF JAIL. Fortunately, he didn't, and when he refused she got even angrier, and he just let her wallow in her impotent rage. It's an amazing call to listen to.
That call is one of the most incredible things I’ve ever hear! Now I have to go find it & listen to it again! 😂

It’s crazy how some people can get caught red handed with unassailable evidence right in front of them, and still claim innocence.
These people are called psychopaths. This one here is a covert psycho as you can see on the recording of her faking emotions and her denying she was at fault. You can see these traits in just about every serial killer. Scary stuff 😬
Just like Amber Heard
Just like 45 😂 Fake news! 😂
theyre lying to themselves at that point
Victimization is trendy. No accountability anymore. Reminds me of a group of people
Mr.Ballen thanks for getting to the point, given only pertinent and relevant information, in a sensible amount of time. I have stopped watching a few content creators because they are too long, too opinionated and some even get off topic. Man, you are excellent at this. I can watch an episode at every break I get. Thanks Bruh.
I remember this episode of cops! I also remember seeing this on Signs of A Psychopath!
I remember this case, it’s crazy how she tried to deflect everything on other people, especially after she was arrested and sentenced.
It’s crazy… cheaters/liars do the same thing. You’d think they’d just be like “ok you caught me” but they deflect and lie to the very end.
@DeszKDanny Licky
even worse is how she acted like she could've talked her way out of it like he was just going to forget she tried to fucking kill him
And the way she freaked out and was trying to get him to talk to her in the interrogation room was downright ridiculous. The man just found out you had a plot to kill him, "baby please talk to me" ain't gonna do shit at this point smh
I blame him. He divorced the woman who was by his side.
He left a woman who stuck by him in prison for a young, attractive MURDERER! Nice going, Mike.
It's his karma though
@@ranran8934 Precisely my thoughts. I'm glad he turned his life around, but I think it's a stretch to say this guy is a beacon of morality. You reap what you sow.
Was looking for this comment.. silly billy could have been k!l!ed 😌
She’s not attractive 🤣
@@ranran8934 I'm sorry but leaving cheating/leaving your ex partner, for someone else does NOT validate being almost murdered by someone awful. You're the type that probably thinks a cheater deserves to die, because well, "tHaTs hIs KaRmA". Na.. That's a shitty mindset to have. Innocent people, despite the poor choices they made before, don't deserve this type of "karma".
Even stories I've heard multiple times, you still bring them to life in a way that makes it fresh, new, and personal. You really bring me into their lives in a magical way and make us experience what they're experiencing. It's amazing. Thank you. ❤
I remember seeing this case on Dateline, where Michael Dippolito himself told the story. Funny how he omitted the part about working for the mafia; he was open and honest about everything else though. That being said, Mr Ballen told the story much better and with more details. I didn't even care hat I already knew the ending. 🙌
The woman is on a new level of crazy..she actually called him to get her out of jail and hire her an attorney. She is one of the scariest people I've ever heard of.
I’d say less scary and egomaniacal. The fact she stole so much money from a man engrossed in her and still says it’s not enough is the next level of hubris.
@ the writer It totally sounds like you’re biased toward men. It’s pretty obvious. Yes, what he did for her was crazy and not smart. But It sounds like you’re making the whole story about what happened, focus on how engrossed he is in her. The bottom line is what she did to him was absolutely insane.
I know! Totally delusional and pychopathic!
@@jpcote7003 shit I already think 200k is a large lump that you can do so much with she should’ve just parted ways and called it a day that’s a fat score at the end of the day but no I bet she thought she was gonna get his life insurance and I bet he put her on it as well smh… because obviously she won’t be able to withdraw all of his life savings if he were to actually gotten killed there’s no way the bank will redflag her account quick as shit and then it’ll be a dead play. So I’m assuming she was gonna get life insurance money in result of his death why else would she wanna off him think about it 🧐 💭 🤔…
*stupidest
Definitely not scary
I remember this case, the absolute audacity of this woman! There's more recordings of her talking to Mike and she is fully saying "Noo I didn't say that" when he says "you said you were 5000% sure!" . She just doubles down and denies it, completely gaslighting him and telling him he heard wrong when it's clear as fcking day.
Always applauded her ex for doing the right thing
I kept wanting the police to show her the body cam footage.
Yes I just commented about that I bet we watched the same documentary she’s crazy af to literally tell someone who seen proof that no it wasn’t her they are lying
Yeah, I remember this from Cops, and Signs of A Psychopath!
There’s the “Shaggy” defense 😂
This incident fills me with so much disgust. Oh my god! What an evil!!!
I always enjoy your videos. You are a talented storyteller and very knowledgeable . Thank you 🌈🙏💝

😂😂
That's a good one. Well done.
I'm in!!!!!!! Awesome idea.
Is it just me?? I never get what he's saying about the like button.
16 years ??? She’s a danger to society she deserves a whole life sentence!
More like the death penalty.
Well, they never give women the same sentences that men get. What’s funny is that the “biased” jury actually did the right thing the first time, and gave her a proper sentence, only to have it reduced because they were biased in favor of women, like most juries, and they didn’t hold her as accountable as they would have held a man.
Intention is not as serious. It's just the way things go here. You have to die to get some semblance of justice and even then it's a crapshoot.
@@seansmith2797 this feels more like attempted a step past intention. She paid someone to do the deed. If it wasn't for the ex boyfriend the man would be dead. A bad man who turned his life around. Who prison acturally worked which is rare.
Only reason they cut it was due to her being a woman. Do you think they would have if it had been a guy who did this. Nope.
But here is the better question. How in the hell do women keep finding hitmen? I hear so many stories of women who do this not nearly as many for guys. Do they like advertize in cycling class or something? I am not looking for one. Just was always curious as to how women always seam to find them or undercover cops who are posing as them.
What is even worse she went to an ex to ask if he knew a hitman. Why did she think he would know one? Does this mean she tends to only date scumbags?
You underestimate how much prison can break you. One year would destroy your sanity so imagine 16
I LOVE when the intro bloopers are included! It just makes me so giddy!
I've seen this one on the news once, it's so much better when you tell it!
The way she met him randomly in Starbucks, I'm actually wondering if she already knew of him, that he was doing well financially, and staged that whole "accidental" meeting. I feel sorry for his first wife for being cheated on and with a younger woman.
I think that was incorrect about the Starbucks meeting. She was a call girl and he called her for sex, and then he fell in love with her afterwards, and dropped the other one.
@@missyidontgiveacrap9939 - That sounds more plausible since he was already crooked to begin with.

@@cleanserene6330Yeah, I was just about to say the same thing. 😂
It's truly sick how well she acted out her devastation when they told her that her husband was "dead". 🤦
Yes it was believable, wow. Some people have a gift to manipulate.
When I saw that clip of her ugly crying, I just burst out laughing because it’s so funny how people think their fooling everyone around but in reality they are getting played big time
Reminds me of Amber 💩
If u look real closely, u can see she started act crying before the cop told her
Not dead.... Jus "de.."
I love when you laugh at silliness. Makes me smile
I remember watching this on true crime daily and let me tell you your story telling makes it so much better!!!!
This is a pretty popular case on some criminal psychology channels on YT, but the way Mr.Ballen tells the story adds new details to the situation, Thank you Mr.Ballen!!
Yes!!! I knew this one to but it’s really like hearing for the first time the way he tells it with all the added details.
JCS - Criminal Psychology. Best video on that channel, but Mr. Ballen still tells this story better and exciting. Masterclass of storytelling, putting the details and twists and turns at all the right places.
I don’t like that he adds details of telling people what someone is thinking when it’s completely untrue and made up. It’s obvious that his wife was not sitting there wondering who could’ve made the calls and where the drugs could’ve come from. There’s other stories where someone dies and he sits there and tells the story about how someone is thinking this or thinking that and then they die. There’s no way of possibly knowing what they were thinking. I understand it’s just to add drama to the story but it’s 100% factually incorrect.
He didn't add one factual derail. In fact he missed many as per usual. This was a terrible rendition of this case made for click bait.
@@basedpatriot4982 Okay.
The ex-boyfriend and the cops are definitely heroes in this strange situation. The ex-boyfriend is for immediately contacting police and the the cops are for using critical thinking and believing in Michael when they totally didn't have to.
I'm sure those officers were getting sick and tired of repeatedly having to search every square inch of Michael's property. When they finally found the candy they could of easily thrown the book at him since he was on probation and the officers had to of known if they just arrested him it would finally put an end to all the searches. But...
Nope, instead ruining Michael's life those cops used officer discretion and gave him the benefit of the doubt.
I salute y'all. We need more police and ex's like them.
Gotta wonder what that ex went through with her
Very refreshing that cops got it right this time
@@mugenyami9776 After her conviction she won an appeal and was released on house arrest. She was eventually found guilty again. However while o house arrest she got pregnant and had a baby that she knew damn well she wouldn't be there to raise it. Maybe she figured when she got out it would be to late. My money's on she had a baby in order gain sympathy.
I'm amazed, You can see the true evil the moment she starts to cry and shake when the tell her her husband is dead.... You have to be very evil to give that kind of performance.
Your right, good job cops for not being blindsided....
@@debster85dc and then she said "let me see him" what a evil devil she is.
A special kind of evil. Every time I hear the story, it gives me chills. 500% sure smh. Never in my life have I had that level of hate towards another human being.
Another great show, I do remember this incident by hearing it on the news and also from work. But did not know about the ending and wow!! 😯 took me by surprise for sure 👍🏻
Things I like about Mr. Ballen:
1. He doesn't make me feel like saying, "C'mon get to the point." The unfolding story IS the point.
2. His ad reads come at a high point in the story like a proper commercial break.
3. He took "hit/smash the like button" to a whole new level. 😁
czcams.com/video/Rf4SaRU2j7g/video.html Finally it’s here,.
Yes, yes, and yes
Number 1 is a great point. Sometimes when people describe things in too much detail, it's hard to stay focused and it becomes irritating. But the way he tells these stories really make you feel and see what it would be like if you were there.
His poor like button.
He's the only one I never fast forward through his sponsor ads.
You forgot to add one of the best parts -- she called him from jail pleading for his help. She is one of the most sociopathic people I've ever read about but that call from jail was hilarious. She was getting upset with him because her plot to have him killed failed and now he wasn't helping her get out of jail. The phone call audio from when she was in jail is classic. Even though she was caught on video soliciting to have her husband killed, she kept denying that she ever did that despite the clear video evidence. The amount of mental gymnastics one would have to do to actually believe that is incomprehensible -- she really was crazy.
Exactly! This is how disconnected people with antisocial personality disorder are. They know what they did. They just think it's so unfair they pay the consequences for what they have done. I was unfortunately in a relationship with one and I'm lucky I'm alive. To this day he acts like the victim. He will deny till he dies as this psycho chick will.
Yeah...I've heard this story many times. I enjoyed the way he covered Mike's past to draw us in to the story and make it believable that someone else could have been framing him...but I wish he would have included that phone call..
The call was gaslighting at it’s finest esp when Dahlia was telling Mike “I SAW what you saw, & heard what YOU heard.… but I didn’t do it” 😂
He also forgot the part where she was manipulating him to put the condo in her name. It did go through right?
Shes a legit psycopath.
This is by far the best story I've heard on your podcast. Too much twist thanks to your best storytelling skills
This is one of my very favorite storys.
Thx
So glad her husband is alive. The hurt of his heart knowing she wanted him dead has got to be awful! I wish she’d gotten 30 years!
I wonder if he ever thinks about the woman he left for this girl.
I'm glad he's alive b/c the paranoia about relationships he may have now is a worse sentence...karma is a b*$h!😂
I wish she'd gotten LIFE in prison or the DEATH PENALTY!!

lol. No. He stole/scammed over $150,000 from people. Then he cheated on his wife after he "reformed." He is slime and I wish Dalia had been successful. He is just as bad as Dalia.
@@encycl07pedia- wow you really dont believe in change do you.
@@pixelatedcrusader8107 What has changed in him? Did he become a father to his child? Did he pay the child support he owed? Did he go to trial for all the other crimes he skipped bail on? He has no morals. He's a horrible excuse for a person. Just because someone tried to delete him doesn't make him a good person.
I don't believe in forgiving people who use and abuse others. You don't have a history of dozens of years of crime and degeneracy that gets forgiven without serious reparations. He still has debt to his victims that he has not paid. You can't act like he was 10 years old when he committed these serious crimes and got off really easy (2 years in prison considering his record is a joke). He ruined people's lives. He left a girl pregnant and broke with his child. You think that's nothing?
change, do you?*
@@encycl07pedia- Moral grandstanding in the comments section of a CZcams video doesn't mean you're a good person either.
@@JohnGardnerAlhadis I never said it did. A response like that leads me to assume you identify with Mike and are probably a terrible person as well.
When half an hour feels like 5 gripping minutes you know you’ve hit gold. The way you tell these stories make them incredibly surreal and relatable and just breathe so much life into it that whether we already know the case or not, it’s still must watch/listen. Please never stop giving us the strange dark and mysterious delivered in story format!
I was watching this video on yoga pants. Curious if you think it’s funny czcams.com/video/EhWl2Uul0DU/video.html
Mr Ballen is a great storyteller but not as good as Dalia's top acting performance.
@@kyleanuar9090 It disgusting to that there are people who will trade anothers life for money. I already knew this story but mr b tells it well with additional info.
💯 Facts
Very rare do I leave one of MrBallens videos with a big ole grin on my face. Justice was served and no one was harmed in doing so. Not only was no one harmed, but the perpetrator was caught so red handed, filmed, and made a huge laughing example of. This might have been one of the happiest endings to a video and the entire last 1/3 of the video I was actually getting excited to watch everything fall perfectly into place. Great video
This is the first time ive heard this from mikes perspective, thank you i learned so much more about this case
Wow man, im glad for the guy Mike that actually tried to turn his life around and didn't get killed. I'm also a convicted felon (Marijuana trafficking, 1999). That turned my life around when i was sitting in jail realizing that this was not the life i wanted to lead. The difference is i got myself into school and got a degree. Met a woman I've been married to for 19 years now. 2 kids, gainfully employed. law abiding individual. I got a second chance. So did this guy Mike. The fact he came so close to losing that because of some psycho made me realize how i could have too when i was my most vulnerable. Good on him, hope he's doing ok.
I just want to say, good for you for turning your life around! Its not easy, I know first hand. I have a similar story to you where I was put in jail (roughly ten years ago now) and having that experience made me realise that it was not the life I wanted for myself. I had a rough childhood where I was homeless and living on the streets and in refuges since I was 14 years old so I ended up getting mixed up with some bad people who were doing bad things. I had been arrested a couple of times before I was finally put in jail but going to jail was a real wake up call. I am glad that I was ultimately incarcerated because if I hadn't been, I really doubt whether I would have ever turned my life around! Sometimes rehabilitation in the form of a jail sentence really works and that was the case for me. I know it can be hard to turn your life around and I have seen many people attempt to do so unsuccessfully so again , good for you for being able to change your life for the better!
He came close to losing that bc he cheated on his wife and left her for a psycho who tired to kill him. Yeah it's called karma 😂
Damn your wife's cheating on you tho
thanks for sharing that, i am so happy that you had the determination to do that, amazing! as soon as i heard mike wanted to change i was rooting for him. everyone has potential and value. god bless, sir!
@@yogi9982 bruh cheating is bad yes, But he didnt deserve to get killed, so Just stop it man. Thankfully he is ok
They flipped the script beautifully, most satisfying ending from a crime story ever.
There needs to be a study done on Mr. Ballen’s story telling abilities. This happened in my city and it was the biggest story for a long time. That dramatic fake breakdown is ingrained in my mind. And yet, I got about 17 minutes in before I realized what case this was. Mind blown. I’ve heard a lot of these stories told on some of the best true crime podcast out there (Morbid, Rotten Mango) but I still listen every time because the way he tells stories is so perfect for my ADHD brain. And the pics help so much! I love this show and I love the morbid girls so much for putting me onto it.
The fact that she thought her ex would know how to get her a hit man is wild especially since he went the complete opposite direction and went to the police for help. She has to be completely nuts.
I don't think it's that wild. She's, well, pretty crazy. Got hitched with a guy who's a former criminal -- so not shocking she'd have an ex-bf who she kept in distant touch with, who knew some really wacky people. Like telling him many times making up bad stuff as much as possible about her new husband... and them talking and she getting the feeling he wanted her again (not a shocker; she is hot) and him wanting to... and telling him after a while "I know you knew this one guy who was involved with guys where there were hitmen... well, look, could you get one of them for me?"
Not crazy thinking on her part. I mean, I can't think of a way easier way. I think they took them out of the Yellow Pages. :)
@@toddjohnson7572 I think it's more that she clearly didn't know the guy very well if he was the type of guy who'd instantly go to the police.
You had to look at her MO. She had an affair with a "bad boy" then married him. I can't help but think that she's drawn to that type. Possibly she loves the danger, as I did as a young girl. Certainly she loves the money that comes with a criminal lifestyle. Certainly she got bored with a criminal turned legit business man. Perhaps she thought the ex was a "bad boy" and figured he could set it up. She's certainly beautiful. Probably gets her way a lot, who knows.
That’s a greedy bitch. I usually wouldn’t use that word with women but in this case she wins the prize.
She thought she was so beautiful that she'd get her way. 🤷♀️ But she thought wrong
"I heard what you heard, and saw what you saw.. but it's simply not true!" 😂🙄 so glad they got her good
I think it's hilarious that they had a whole set up to make her believe that her husband was killed lol and the way she cries is so funny and the actual video. And when she calls him from jail after she tried to have him killed she even literally said "I saw the same tapes that you did. I saw what you saw and heard what you heard and it's not true" now THATS actual gas lighting 😆
Costs a lot of money to stage something like that too right?? So awesome that they put on a whole show for us to see, rather than just busting her on the spot right?
I am certain she found it all so entertaining too. Her parents must have been in stitches.
she was clearly trying a last ditch , hail Mary at manipulating him, something im sure she's done many times and all her life to others, guarantee she's spent her whole life getting by on her looks and manipulation skills and she's become someone who thinks she can do anything she wants in order to get what she wants, even murder.
she's a very shallow, cold hearted piece of work, maybe her time in prison will teach her some humility and she might try and be a better person but i doubt, she'll almost certainly get out and try to land some rich guy who's not too bright and live that kind of life forever, trading up when and where she can.
@@sweeneytodd011 Yup, trash like her are experts at glowing themselves up for just long enough to attract a rich chump, then getting their grubby mitts on his wallet and either killing him or draining him and filing divorce once he's destroyed.
@@sweeneytodd011 how can say all that bullsht with no proofs. You're doubts are definitely not realistic. Even the Michael who was much worse criminal from dealing drugs, joining killer mafia, scamming people, abandoning innocent dependent people and children for selfish reasons, if he was set right in 7 months, then she would require way less time than him.
Dude you are a masterful storyteller. I've heard thus story many times but the way you told it, I had no clue it was this hit man case. Good work!
This was the best story yet!!
This is one of my FAVORITE crime stories. The fact that I didn't recognize this was THAT story until close to the end, and was still thoroughly entertained is a testament to how great your storytelling skills are, man. This version kept the suspense high and i feel like the "inside perspective" given here is a better way of hearing it.
theres a fantastic video about this case on the JCS channel called "The Curious Case of Dalia Dippolito" that you should check out if you like this story!
Same.
EXACTLY
@@MrElliotGear I second this recommendation.
Dammit. Same. Didn't realize what it was until he said she pulled up and stopped on her street and was approached by a cop. Then suddenly, I remembered those names WERE familiar and yep, it was that case.
The fact that he left his wife for her is crazy. The con man got conned 🥴
INSANE to me… less people are talking about it but let it been a woman who left her husband for a man that killed her the whole comment section would’ve rubbed it in saying that’s her KARMA…
@@TheSpiritRoom23 true that. I was expecting people to comment on this one more than anything else
@@TheSpiritRoom23literally multiple comments saying he shouldn’t have left her and that it’s karma what are you even talking about
@@JacobBunnell-om9dzThe majority of comments about it are praising him, though
❤ I really adore watching Mr Ballen's videos and I really love his laugh ❤
You are so funny! Love the way you tell the story.
MrBallen is the best storyteller on CZcams
Thank you!!
INDEED!!
Facts
Absolute facts
@@MrBallen sup dude
The audacity to say “thank god” when the officer told her he was still alive. Just unbelievable that people can be so sadistic.
Yeah, she'll definitely never have a career in acting, either.
She probably said “Thank God” thinking I can’t go to jail for murder🤷♀️
@@sarahwhiting3448 No, she was still trying to claim innocence. That is probably what went through her mind in that moment, though.
Great story!!
Loved this story!
I’ve seen this story before, but never to this level of detail and nuance. He does justice to EVERY story. Not just the big ones, everything. He takes you through all of the twists and turns as if you’re living it. Love you John, keep it up!
Dalia's ex boyfriend is the ultimate key here
When i saw this was the case, i was like meh.. ive seen it. But then i was like, im sure he will go all in on detail. Wasnt wrong!
He says thanks
Only thing I didn't know or remember from the first time I heard this case was the bit about the "boiler room" schemes
You obviously know very little about this notorious case then, because in reality Mr Ballen got key facts WRONG, and entirely OMITTED many others!
It was the laziest, most inaccurate re-telling of this famous story ever. Watch any other CZcams report on it, and you'll get way more info - without Ballen's dumb mistakes! He actually claimed Dalia was a 'real estate agent' when they first met - I've never heart prostitution called that before! 🤣🤣🤣
They met because Michael Dippolito hired her as an escort - he was banging the skank behind his wife's back in his office. Old rubber lips saw he had money, so got her hooks into him. And he was dumb enough to dump his loyal wife for her, all 'cos of the sex (he paid for - and boy did he pay for it!)
And Mr Ballen said they "fell in love!" LMAO! 🤣🤣🤣
Watching such a high quality storyteller like MrBallen go from 45k to almost 6 million in 2 years is quite satisfying and well deserved.
Appreciate that!
Soo true. I started following I think 2-3 months in. Been like addicted since XD
Yeah , he helped me get through the pandemic years.
Yea I was a early watcher also I remember him not having hardly any on tictoc
are you an AI? wtf kinda NPC comment is that
Oh lord. I’ve heard this story. Very good Mr B.
This story is mindblowing. I heard elsewhere that in jail when she was allowed a phone call, she called the husband she wanted to be killed and asked him for help with getting a lawyer. He obviously didn't help her.
The ex boyfriend is a hero!
I had already heard of this story of course, but there's just something about hearing it in the story format of MrBallen that always makes things very much worth hearing again.
Me too but I don’t remember where I heard it from but coming from Mr Ballen I don’t mind hearing it again 😅😅😅
Same! But when he told it, I listened on the edge of my seat like I'd never heard it before 😂
I just L. O. V. E. Mr. B!!!!!!!!!! 🤟👌
That Chapter told this story the other day.. “Mike” ♥️♥️
Exactly what I was thinking.
Exactly what I was going to comment haha. I had recognised the case just by looking at the thumbnail but since it's Mr ballen I've got to hear it again from him!
The disgust on the detectives face when he broke the news of Mike’s “death” was palpable. he recovered quickly and made it work. Hats off to the Boynton Beach PD!
It looked like he didn’t really want her to touch him. Really kind of funny as she’s fake breaking down.
I really, really liked that too. After all the trickery, smoke and mirrors; it ends with, "You're going to jail today."
@@AmazingRofa Reported. Gfy bot
They did good in this case, but a lot of them are racist tyrants.
I was thinking, "this guy is legit ticked off... but she thinks its dispare"
The fact that she was pretending to be on his side, and even in love with him, and then calling the police and giving them his name, even planting the drugs in his car before pretending to cry to the policemen to let Michael go home. The world is a scary place.
Newbie to your channel! I’ve been reading horror stories online and your storytelling is so much scarier because of the scary noises you use 😂
This story is the ultimate example of gaslighting. She went on to tell the husband that all the footage was faked, it was actors set up to look like her; and then tried to tell the jury that the police department was trying to film a reality tv show and then set her up when they couldn't sell it. There's something like 20 hours of footage proving her guilt and as far as I know, to this day, she still denies trying to kill her husband. Yeah,.... She needs to stay in jail.
It's really not, it's just typical criminal behavior. It's also typical lawyer behavior and politician behavior. And if she's trying to get out of jail, she doesn't have many options other than a flimsy lie.
I agree....She's dangerous and conniving.. She shouldn't be released into the community ever..
Oh man, you are a badass storyteller. I didn’t realize I’d already heard this story until you revealed the surprise. Super well done, sir, as always.
Yes! what a great way to watch this knowing the back story! I loved the details of getting to know Mike and his struggle and triumph over his past. Fantastic story telling as usual 👏👏👏
me. i had read your comment at the start and when he said she went to the gym i put two and two together. it’s amazing how he’s so good at it.
Same here I didn’t realize it until they brought the guy in the interrogation room and played the film from it. I’m SUPER impressed
As I was listening to a podcast last night I became consciously aware of how well-written his narratives are. They're a full sensory experience of sight, sound, touch and smell, and the flow makes the time fly by. He has 3 immediate family members who are in literary professions, one of whom won a Pulitzer Prize. No surprise there.
@dash
O
Ive seen this story a thousand time, but never get fed up seeing that horrible acting the show captured knowing she is busted and they all know and she hasn't the faintest idea good on you mike!
THE FECKIN' PLOT TWISTS! I had no idea AND I LIVE THERE!!!!!!
I cannot believe that his story telling is so freaking good, especially with the backstory, that I didn't even realize until almost the end that this was a story I've seen on at least two other true crime shows. I literally was hanging on every word and never once thought, " huh, THIS sounds familiar ". HE'S THAT GOOD!!!!!
Right?! Me too!!! I saw the couple and was like, wow they are SO familiar! Why do I feel like I know them?? Then, later on, boom! Spectacular story telling, as always.
czcams.com/video/Rf4SaRU2j7g/video.html Finally it’s here,
SAME ive had that moment on quite a few stories, even the amazon killer one. Never a dull and boring story with mr ballen fr !
same! I thought, where have I seen the husbands face before.so familiar... yes. saw the story before. Always better hearing it from Mr Ballen
lol I knew what it was as soon as I saw the thumbnail
You know, the whole time I was expecting it to be something awful like ex-con gets his life together and the cops prank arrest him and causes him to freak out. I'm so happy with the direction it took
I thought the same. I'm glad it didnt turn out that way.
I almost didn't watch it because that's where my mind went as well. Very glad it went the other direction
@@colby950 I actually avoided the video for like a week before I watched it to get it out of my recommended videos and was pleasantly surprised
I thought it was the abandoned son
I think it'd be illegal to do that.
This is by far the funniest story from Mrballen, that’s actually so funny what cops did, top tier pranking
I love that he gives us time frame references (ex: just one month later, 17 days before) because my brain can not do that math and it really adds to the drama of the story! Stellar story teller. I’ve probably watched all of his videos at least ten times.
czcams.com/video/Rf4SaRU2j7g/video.html Finally it’s here,.
Yes! I also appreciate that he always puts measurements in both metric and imperial. But especially when it comes to temperatures. I really have no clue what Fahrenheit temperatures are in Celsius! Fahrenheit is really difficult to learn/envision when you're used to the simple; freezing starts at 0 and boiling starts at 100.
@@esther-corinna to change Fahrenheit to Celsius you need a calculator. Type in what number Fahrenheit it is and minus 32 then divide by 1.8. To change Celsius to Fahrenheit you multiply the Celsius by 1.8 and add 32.
10x?! Lol man I thought I was obsessed lmao.. That's a lot of CZcams lol
I love it too. I can picture the timeline in my head when he does it sometimes I'm absolutely amazed at how short the chain of events were.
We really need more "411 missing" stories!! Please Mr.Ballen!!!
Those were the best stories ever, I spent a couple of days only watching those videos, truly addictive!
Thumbs up please!!! so he sees it!
YES YES YES. THOSE STORIES ARE THE ONES THAT HOOKED ME. I HAVEN'T HEARD ONE LIKE THAT FOR SO LONG.
@dash AIDS has been around for the past 40 years
Yeah i loved his stories about people gone missing in the woods or monster sightings and stuff, now its good but just normal crime
I like the people places can’t go but went anyways
Me too! I love Mr B's storytelling but I long for the days when the stories were actually 'strange, dark and mysterious'. 🌹
I've seen all the footage there is to find about this case. Her meeting up with the undercover policeman, the interrogation, the moment she arrived at the station and saw her husband there.. Everything. It's so fascinating and so evil. Props to the police for setting this whole thing up. 👏
I've already heard this story before, the names & faces seemed familiar.
..HOWEVER, MrBallen's ability to present a story from a unique perspective like he did for this story, makes it a new experience even for people like myself. It's no wonder he's so successful!👍😁👍
I was laughing so hard from about the 22 minute mark, when she started crying, knowing that she was lying and faking that. Great story telling Mr. Ballen.
Denial, she knew she was caught, but thought since he was alive she would get off. 😃
That was an academy award winning performance on both sides.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who was laughing. I also started cracking up when the officer told her she was going to jail.
czcams.com/video/Rf4SaRU2j7g/video.html Finally it’s here
Right she should get a Oscar for that and have will Smith slap her
This is the best version of this story I’ve ever heard.

I agree. I learned more from this video than the true crime videos I’ve watched on it.
@@bingonamo7520 He actively worked against to roll back on his life choices during the mafia and literally gave back all the money he stole? And cheating doesn't warrant attempts on his life? Sure he was scum before but he quite literally acted to give back what he stole from the people
