The Inaugural Wreck List ๐๐ฟ๐ง
I canโt say what it is exactly, but there is something particularly delicious about a good con-story or the insane audacity of founders building multi-million dollar house of cards.
Hereโs whatโs happening in the world of grifters and shady shit this week:
โA cringe rapper slash Forbes contributor allegedly found with billions in stolen Bitcoinโ- This husband and wife duo arenโt exactly the pair youโd expect to launder $1Bโ but it was in Bitcoin, which feels more on brand. Heather goes by her rapper name Razzlekhan and spits untouchable beats with lyrics like, "I'm a motherf*cking bad bitch... go on, make me a sandmich.. you annoying... like vag itch, so lame.. it's f*cking tragic. Bad bitch, bad bitch, motherf*cking bad bitch (x4)" Edit: looks like weโre getting a Netflix gem out of this one!
(TW- ED) โInfluencer Brittany Dawn Sued by State of Texas for Allegedly Misleading Clients with Eating Disordersโ - Another married duo, thatโs somehow even worse than the first!
โNothing Sacred: These Apps Reserve The Right To Sell Your Prayersโ- Rock bottom continues to be a moving target when talking about companies and user privacy. Thank God for investigative journalism.
โCurrent And Former โDr. Philโ Employees Say The Set Is A Toxic Workplace. The Show Says Everythingโs Fineโ- Thereโs definitely a trend with companies promoting mental health somehow being the worst offenders. On the same day this piece was published, Buzzfeed also wrote about how a startup providing mental health services to Facebook and Google is in hot water over concerns for privacy and treatment.
In case youโve missed it:
Everyone is freaking out about the insane Tinder Swindler documentary on Netflix. Since being outed, said Tinder Swindler has also been banned from dating apps. The women featured on the documentary also have an official GoFundMe, we love a good payback (ha).
Welcome back, Anna- Timed with Netflix releasing Inventing Anna, The Cut also updated their exposรฉ on Anna Delvey/Sorokinโ a must-read if you havenโt already.
