Razors Edge ★ Posted March 3, 2022 Share #1 Posted March 3, 2022 ...on Netflix? It was a fun series with literally the most annoying "accent" (affect??) since Fran Dresher. In any case, the Tinder Swindler movie was trending well, and not nearly as interesting as the Anna docudrama, but interesting in some respects. I bet @Randomguy was crossing paths with Anna at various restaurants, shows, and events up in NYC a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Muh father" always got me laughing. I've never heard the real gal speak, though. Is it true to form? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtyhip Posted March 3, 2022 Share #9 Posted March 3, 2022 I wated the whole thing and liked it. It made me wonder how people who you think are rich, might not be so. Her accent was funny and seemed fake too. A little dose of Schnedenfrude I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12string Posted March 3, 2022 Share #11 Posted March 3, 2022 I was in the room while it was on last night.

Rattlecan ★ Posted March 3, 2022 Share #12 Posted March 3, 2022 Yeah, we watched it. We already had an appreciation of Julia Garner's acting talents from her work on Ozark. The Russian German accent mix was a far cry from her hillbilly accent on Ozark, but if you listen to the real Anna, and you don't have to look too hard to find interviews on YouTube, I think she sort of got it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m on the final episode. So apparently she is found guilty.

The Netflix story goes that he spent investor money for his start-up dream app on doing stuff with her, and she threw him under the bus in order to insinuate herself between his mentor Nora and him to become her new protege, and he claimed he was all about helping her to launch the ADF, but was using her to somehow get at her trust fund money, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that shame held a lot of them back from pressing charges for theft. Their reputation in the big money world was on the line. A lot of people didn’t do their due diligence, despite constantly making reference to the process. They so completely bought into her image they they ignore all basic warnings, and feared she’d cut them off if they questioned her at all. While it’s clearly fraud when she tells people she’ll wire them payment, some of the time people didn’t ask her for payment. I’m trying to remember, but I think the plane charter staff were too afraid to ask for a credit card? Others offered to pay while her money was tight, with the expectation she’d either pay them back or at least start spending on them again in the future, despite her making nothing but vague comments.
