Hollywood loves a good con artist story, but a man who excelled at imitating powerful women may have hit a little too close to home. Newser reports the FBI has just announced the arrest of a suspect believed to be the 'Con Queen of Hollywood.' Hargobind Tahilramani would impersonate prominent women in the industry and pitch bogus projects to actors and Hollywood gig workers. In turn, they would shell out cash on the promise of being reimbursed. For instance, Gregory Mandarano was duped into traveling to Indonesia multiple times in 2015, believing he was working with a rep from the legit China Film Group. Instead, he lost about $70,000 paying for drivers, translators, and 'fixers,' which was never reimbursed. Among others, Tahilramani posed as Kathleen Kennedy of Lucasfilm, former Paramount boss Sherry Lansing, and Rupert Murdoch's ex-wife, Wendi Deng.
New research from Harvard and Calgary Universities have shed new light on who is more or less likely to observe COVID-19 social distancing guidelines. UPI reports more North American and European men, and young adults of both sexes, fail to adhere to COVID-19 social distancing guidelines than older adults. The data showed 59% of male respondents said they adhered to local social distancing guidelines, while 69% of female respondents reported doing so. However, 49% of adults aged 18 to 24 years complied with guidelines for social distancing, while up to 90% of adults aged 25 and older did so. Countries with 'strict' social distancing guidelines didn't appear to influence compliance. Nor did a participant's personal experience with the disease.
A North Carolina man may have plenty of time to watch HBO if he ends up being locked away for years. According to Business Insider, Tristan Bishop Pan was charged after reportedly trying to steal over $6 million in Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans. He did it by submitting applications for fake companies with names from the HBO smash hit series 'Game of Thrones.' The US government's PPP scheme is a way to help small businesses financially amid the pandemic. The loans must be used for payroll costs, rent, and utilities. The Department of Justice says Pan submitted applications for companies named White Walker, Khaleesi, and The Night's Watch. Tristan Bishop Pan's winter arrived when he was charged with wire fraud, bank fraud, and engaging in unlawful monetary transactions on September 29th, 2020.
