In July, Facebook user Chelsea Brown broke news of Donnelly’s scheme on a group called HK Expats, claiming that he did not only target women, but also men.





“This is Kieran Donnelly. He is a manipulative con man who has been targeting men and women in Hong Kong for several years. He tells very good sob stories and steals money and valuables from people all over the city.”





Brown may also have set up a Facebook support group for the matter, but a search as of this writing does not return a visible result.





“He can be very nice to your face but also turns aggressive and violent if things don’t go his way. This needs to end,” Brown added.
