Brendan Banfield found alive after 14 years of faking his own death, but now he's trending for something much worse: his Netflix password was still logged in at his ex-girlfriend's house.

Brendan Banfield found alive after 14 years of faking his own death, but now he's trending for something much worse: his Netflix password was still logged in at his ex-girlfriend's house.

Brendan Banfield, the former tech CEO who vanished in 2010 after a failed cryptocurrency scam, resurfaced this week in a bizarre twist that has the internet in stitches. When police tracked him to a remote cabin in Montana, they didn't just find a man with a beard and a new identity—they discovered his Netflix account was still active, logged in at his ex-girlfriend's condo in Miami. "I forgot to change it, okay?" he allegedly told officers, as breaking news of this reveal sparked a frenzy of memes comparing his 'mastermind' escape to the comedic incompetence of a Golden Retriever. The irony? He was only caught because the streaming service auto-charged his old credit card, which he never canceled. Social media is now roasting him relentlessly for prioritizing binge-watching 'Stranger Things' over a clean getaway.
