Inventing Anna Season 2??

Your honor, she’s slaying!

Having a high-profile *scamming* client is any lawyer's dream. But taking your “birth month” off from work is just fabulous… well, maybe not from your client’s perspective.

But before we investigate, have you recently become obsessed with scammer stories that have been capturing the zeitgeist recently? Well, then this is the perfect newsletter for you!

Welcome to SCAMDALOUS:

Scamdalous is a new series where anyone is fair game to our host and TikTok icon Serena Shahidi (aka @glamdemon2004) — from fraudsters, to swindlers, to scammers, to girlbosses, and everyone in between. SCAMDALOUS can typically be found over on Snapchat Discover and TikTok, but now we're bringing the series over to Beehiiv to give you even more SCAMDALOUS — and more Serena — content in your inbox.

Meet Anna Delvey’s Disbarred Lawyer: Audrey A. Thomas

It’s one thing to represent notorious socialite scammer Anna Delvey, but to get caught red-handed for scamming other clients? This is not the law school curriculum Elle Woods taught me!

Anna Delvey’s former lawyer, Audrey A. Thomas, has been disbarred for her decade-old scam. She allegedly misappropriated $600,000 of her elderly client funds during an apartment sale. Audrey used the cash to promote herself as an author and radio show host. Because everyone knows just being a lawyer doesn’t cut it. Lawyer-author-radio show host has a better ring to it!

When confronted about the missing money, Audrey pinky-swore to return it all through a payment plan, but those payments stopped in 2018. She was brought before a disciplinary hearing and is now facing prison time.

I just know Netflix is salivating at the idea of a new show about a scammer’s former lawyer caught running her scam. It’s priceless and ironic. We love to see it!

Watch the full SCAMDALOUS episode to see the verdict on Audrey's scam and a walk through Anna and Audrey’s chaotic history together as well.

An interesting quote from Audrey 🗣

"Just remember I may not be admitted to practice law anymore but there's nothing to stop me from appearing pro se," she said in a text message "Tell Anna I said he who laughs last laughs the best. I AM still Audrey A Thomas AKA Sandy!!!!!!!!"
