POLICY WIRE — New York, United States — A widow is accusing a male escort of defrauding her of $6 million after she inherited a substantial fortune from her late husband, a former employee of Roblox who died by suicide in 2024.

The lawsuit, filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, claims that Greggory Starr, a West Point graduate and former companion, manipulated Marianne Flippo during a vulnerable time in her life. She alleges that Starr exploited her grief and medical conditions to extract large sums of money, including a $10 million payment that was ultimately blocked by a bank due to concerns about fraud.

Marianne, who has been living with vascular Ehler-Danlos syndrome for most of her life, reportedly met Starr through an escort service called Cowboys4Angels. According to court filings, she initially believed he was a genuine companion, but later realized he had been scheming to gain control over her finances. She now seeks the return of $5.95 million and an order preventing Starr from spending more of her money.
