Anna Delvey's salons, cornhole scandal & MoviePass securities fraud 👀🍿🧃
Imagine opting in to be murdered by Oculus
Hi Wrecklings! I’m watching God Forbid, the scandalous documentary about how Jerry Falwell Jr., his wife, and their swinging with a pool boy led to the demise of their evangelical dynasty. Anyway, no matter how your week is going, you’re not having as bad of a week as this VC:
The Twitter dumpster fire rages on
“Tyson Foods CFO arrested after drunkenly entering random woman's home and sleeping in her bed, police say“- This is the second c-suite from an meat or alternative meat company to get into trouble for unusual shenanigans.
“Anna Delvey Is Launching a Dinner Series out of Her East Village Apartment While Under House Arrest”- It’s insane that the loopholes on house arrest are allowing her to do this—considering the root of her cons was simply socializing.
“$2 million ranges, deleted job posts: NYC’s salary transparency law is off to a rocky start”- Even if this felt like an awesome win, with all the loopholes this probably isn’t going to make a difference in the long run because of the corporate parkour to use *~*loopholes*~*.
“Kraft Mayo And Juicy Couture Team Up For Clothing Collection”- Not scandalous but I love a good velour set— if just the thought of mayo didn’t make me gag, I’d order these. Can we see a Cheetos x Juicy collab?
“Former MoviePass Executives Knew Their Unlimited Plan Was Losing Money But Lied To Defraud Investors, Prosecutors Said”- Curious to see how MoviePass 2.0 goes— with tiers starting at $10, I’m skeptical they’re repeating history.
“The D1ck And B@11s Drawn In The Sky By An Air Force Plane Was An Accident, A Spokesperson Said”- Mmmhmm, sure Jan.
“Fyre Festival #2? Blended Festival CEO disappears after cancelling dates, 'racking up $6million in unpaid debt' and sending email saying he'd suffered heart attack”- Curious to see the consequences of this one, $6M in debt doesn’t just get swept under the rug.
“Oculus Founder Builds VR Headset That Kills User If They Die in Game”- Are the tech bros okay? This feels like the Black Mirror version of Nathan For You’s Claw of Shame stunt.
“World’s first cocaine bar changes location every month so it stays secret”- I wish restaurants/bars leaned into the legit speakeasy thing because then it gamifies the whole discovery experience.
“Judge denies disgraced former Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes’ motion for new trial”- You gotta love Elizabeth’s attempt to make this whole thing go away without any consequence—it’ll be convenient if she happens to be pregnant again during her sentencing. Easier to be sympathetic to a pregnant woman, just saying.
“‘I walked away from my marriage with NOTHING': Real-life Wolf of Wall Street Jordan Belfort's ex reveals she was left with nothing but CURTAINS after split from crook - because the government took everything else that he'd bought with 'blood money'“- Alternative headline being ‘I did the right thing and also didn’t really have much of a choice otherwise’ but sure, that’s big of her…
“Amid Cheating Controversy, the Chess.com Global Championship Is on Lockdown”- It’s official, chess has had a sexy spy glow-up.
“Chicken Stuffed With Gold Bars Found in a Corrupt Official’s Freezer”- It’s sometimes fun to think about where I’d hide insane amounts of riches, if that were a problem I had. The freezer and the mattress seem so cliche.
“American Cornhole League shaken by 'Baggate' cheating allegations”- Is nothing sacred??

“Convicted Fyre Festival founder Billy McFarland apologizes after prison release, starts new business”- I may just be jaded but it sounds like Billy hasn’t grasped specifically *what* he did wrong… and what he should have learned from the whole experience. This dude should never run a company, ever again.
“The poker scandal is still under investigation. Is anyone likely to come out on top?”- “It’s bad for everyone involved, unless you’re someone who likes to grab popcorn and watch a train wreck.” 🙋🏼♀️👀🍿🧃
