    Im somewhat surprised it took this long for season 5 to drop on Netflix, seeing as how it originally came out about 2 years ago.

    It looks like Season 6 is dropping on April 18th., but they are apparently going to milk out the new episodes on AMC+.

    Getting pretty sick of the multitude of streaming services, but I guess I saw it coming.

    A Futile and Stupid Gesture about National Lampoon was worth watching.

    Very late last year, I had a vision. It was a rare full state of clarity that told me Netflix was going to tank HARD the first half of this year. It was due to a culmination of different factors just constantly racking my brain. I was CERTAIN. I told everyone IRL around me.

    I told myself - buy PUTS galore and the rewards will come. DO IT

    Like everything else in my life, I procrastinated. I forgot about it.

    Meanwhile, today after market close, they reported 1st quarter earnings and so far tanked 90 points from 348 down to about 258. I have a somewhat decent feeling it will go even lower in the next few months, but im not 100% on that.

    100 mill down the drain lol.... imagine being Chris Wallace who left Fox News just a month ago to be the star of CNN+. absolutely shocking no one is interested in paying to watching a bunch of bull shit.

    I recently canceled netflix after i had realized we were paying for two accounts for the last year...

My spoiler is more a brief synopsis that comes out pretty quickly and not much of a spoiler.

     
    Cliffs are some super hot celeb Vegan restaurant owner in NYC gets brainwashed by some fat dude from the internet and essentially brainwashed. Dude might have posted here being from Massachusetts and dusting off all her money at Foxwoods while convincing her he was a secret agent. Truly bizarre. It’s like if Jasep had landed a chick that a bunch of celebrities had been rebuffed by who looked like a model and convinced her he was part of the Illuminati and a secret government asset.

    Highly rec'd this.

    The dude is easy to figure out - this blonde though? A real head-scratcher. My conclusion is she in mentally ill.

    I think PFA forum members would find it interesting because of the gambling aspect. The whole thing was a grift to fund this guy's gambling addiction.

    Interestingly, there might even be a poker tie-in. Check out the original Vanity Fair article that inspired the documentary: https://www.vanityfair.com/style/201...naway-fugitive

    It's a good read and the writer was featured in the series. In the article, it explains how Sarma Melngailis originally met Tony through Twitter. It indicates that one of his Twitter usernames was @DiscipleOfTodd (probably a huge fan of Druff!). When you search that username on Twitter it's for an account that no longer exists but you can see tweets where the username was mentioned. One person he was interacting with about 10 years ago is Daniel Negreanu (@realkidpoker). If you look up the tweets where they are both mentioned you see that they were having some kind of argument about Bobby's Room and they get into a heads up for rolls pissing contest. Unfortunately, you can't see any of the tweets by @DiscipleOfTodd that Negreanu is replying to because the account is deleted.

    Anyways, it's very likely this guy was a poker degen in Vegas about a decade ago and maybe played high stakes. I wonder if anyone in the Vegas poker community remembers him.

    Glad you found it entertaining. It was a baffling story. I’m always suspicious of documentaries where one side agrees to participate and the other doesn’t, but there really isn’t any question the guy was a con. Her motivation and wtf was wrong with her is where all the mystery lies and you still wonder wtf at the end.

    Fuck, as a mental health professional, what was your gut feel? Some type of approaching 40 depression that makes a person more susceptible to falling for something so patently abusurd and just chasing losses? It’s just hard to wrap your brain around how some IVY league girl with seemingly a great life fell for this shit. I mean there are a lot of dumb Ivy leave grads, but usually have trust funds also. She seemed to come from upper middle class family, but not retard gets into Ivy League $.

    Make her 200lbs and have her own a small town restaurant in the Midwest, and it isn’t that interesting. People fall for shit every day. It was only that she was beautiful, educated, and seemed to be a hot commodity in Manhattan that makes it such a strange tale. You’d expect a woman like her to be marrying some celeb or Wall Street hedge fund guy, not falling for some obvious fat con whose dupe Druff will probably uncover in a few days.


    It’s funny that tweet is from 2011, which is when he met her, and according to your article, living in a van with his dad possibly. He certainly wasn’t playing DN for rolls that year, but might have frequented that world a bit later.

    I sat back and thought about how bad a gambling addict this dude had to be. He’s a fat schlub who lands this woman several thousand levels above him. Like hitting the lotto. Go from living van life to her world.

    That he didn’t take her $ at some point and try to parlay it into some actual real world business or investment, or even funneling it mostly back to her and he could have kept the con going on forever. Instead he seemed to have been blowing it rapidly. Just amazing. He had that Mike Borovetz(sp?) vibe to him. The kid who was rolling people in airports for years to play Pai Gow or whatever it was that he was addicted to. That level sick.



    Fuck, when you think of the timing and his involvement in the poker world, had he took simply $20k of her money and put it into bitcoin he’d still married to her and she’d still be a true believer and think he’s a super secret agent genius and she finally passed the test until her dog died. I’m almost surprised he didn’t have her transfer $ into btc as part of his mysterious backstory.

    I saw an article a few days after my initial post about Louie CK gave her an STD back in the day. Almost made me wonder if she’s been fucking everyone from the guy in Penn Admissions to her overly patient investor who was in the documentary, and she simply fell in love with another con. That almost makes more sense than her being that naive and brainwashed.
    great analysis. this story is so bizarre bc of her hotness, success, etc juxtaposition with his world class loser existence. what in the hell was she thinking?

    holy fuck though the movie trope where the rules are explained in detail only for the main character to of course break all of the rules is fucking annoying

    I'm almost done watching Chimp Empire. It's outstanding if you like these types of things.

    I'm watching e2 of Pain Killer right now. Finding it highly entertaining. The same person who recommended this to me also said Babylon with Margo Robbie was excellent.

    Cold Pursuit is Liam Niesen's worst movie.
