In early 2003, Greco was allegedly stabbed by a cheating boyfriend when the Cheaters crew boarded the man's boat; however, on November 3, 2009, the news magazine program Inside Edition interviewed the female companion, who said it was all staged.

John Ellison of the Rowlett Police Department stated on the same program that "There were no arrests at all during that time period for that type of crime.

"[4] In 2005, Greco, Cheaters director at the time Hunter Carson, and two security guards, were indicted for assault by a grand jury[5] but acquitted[6] in connection with the 'confrontations' on the program.

Greco was mentioned by Seth MacFarlane at the 64th Primetime Emmy Awards in a brief monologue for Outstanding Reality-Competition Program as "The guy who was on Cheaters, and got stabbed on camera".

[clarification needed] After his run on Cheaters, Greco appeared in the 2013 film Charlie: A Toy Story, portraying Mr. Amrak.
