Lawsuit against Greg Starr for alleged fraud

Overview

Marianne Flippo, the widow of Roblox programmer Chad Flippo, has filed a lawsuit in Manhattan Supreme Court alleging she was defrauded of nearly $6 million by Greg Starr, a man she met through the escort agency Cowboys 4 Angels.

Initial court documents claim Flippo was under ‘Svengali-like control’ and was pressured to sign agreements while under the influence of medication and alcohol. The allegations state Starr manipulated her into believing she needed to pay $10 million to release him from his agency contract. The dispute also involves a $14 million Manhattan mansion purchased by Flippo under the impression it would be a shared residence.

Subsequent reports indicate that Starr has since fled the United States for Dubai. Bank records presented in court show that over $1 million was transferred from a joint account to an account in Dubai.
