Bad Vegan: Fame, Fraud, Fugitive
Episode 3: No Angels in Hell
This episode of ‘Bad Vegan’ opens up with Nazim Seliakhov, exposing the extravagant life style of Anthony. He recounted the suites, cars, luxury life style and how Anthony spent 6 months in Foxwoods Casino, spending 6 – 8 hours on the slot machines.
In this episode, Stacy Stangis, an ex-wife to Anthony recounts her own story of Anthony and how he promised her and her daughter money which never materialized.
Sarma visits Rome for a mysterious test Anthony created in her mind, she feels entrapped, helpless but was assured because somehow because Anthony was in constant communication and kept telling her things would be fine.
Sarma lost focus about her office as her employees began receiving more instructions from Anthony.
Yes, there are no Angels in Hells because somehow, everyone contributed to the mess. If much efforts were taken by the workers especially involving the police or family members when they noticed some suspicious act, the damage Anthony did to her and her business would have been less.
With time, Sarma couldn’t pay her employees anymore and her business closed for 3 months. Her staff sent so many messages but she couldn’t respond and lost communication with them.
She gets money from investors and reopened her business again and her employee returned to build her company.
We would have expected Sarma to have learnt her lessons by but she didn’t. The same problem, the same person draining her money, began draining it over again even after she reopened after failing the first time.
It seems there is a kind of psychological manipulation Anthony used on her because from their conversation, she felt reluctant to release money yet, she still ends up sending the money she initially refused.
Anthony knew that if she regularly visited the office, he wouldn’t have had enough chance to scam her. So, he took her off from her office as they began trip from different places in Europe.
He kept using the word, ‘We’ as if he truly cared about her. He used word like, ‘ the future of the company, my wife, I love her so much’
It got to the climax that Sarma could pay her staff anymore and owed them arrears of their salary. So her workers protested which gave the media content to feed on
