Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp. Just before Netflix premiered its sensational docuseries “Bad Vegan,” Sarma Melngailis spoke exclusively with ALBC about all the shit she endured with culty conman Mr. So-called Fox. Go back and check out that episode for the grisly details and now foreboding hope that Netflix would shed light – not shade – on the confounding circumstances that led to the demise of Sarma's brand One Lucky Duck and her beloved restaurant Pure Food and Wine. If you didn't already know it, Pure Food and Wine was hip, sexy, nutritious, and delicious. It was raw vegan food with style in Gramercy Park. Manhattan where, on any given night, you could run into Janet Jackson, Bill Clinton, Stevie Wonder, or Alec Baldwin. It was the shit. Until it wasn't. Netflix was ready. Through all the pomp and circumstance, we at ALBC can't help but look into the dark side of cult survivor narratives turned entertainment. Now that the trauma-coaster of “Bad Vegan” has slowed, we thought it important to let Sarma set the record straight. Check it out. NOTES:Sarma Melngailis is brilliant. She grew up in Newton, MA, graduated with two economics degrees including one from the Wharton School. She rocked the financial world at Bear Stearns and Bain Capital. And she dabbled in high-yield investment funds before realizing finance in late-stage capitalism fuckin sucks so she left to get a degree in feeding people from the French Culinary Institute. Thus began her life in the world of food. Upon discovering raw vegan food, she decided – with a partner – to open Pure Food and Wine; chronicled her transition from eating whatever/everything to eating only raw vegan food in Raw Food Real World; and then wrote Living Raw Food. Now, she lives in Harlem with her rescue dog, Leon. We love ‘em both dearly. You can find Sarma on Twitter, Instagram, and her own official website.

Sara and Danny are back with a rundown of some current scams that we all need to be on alert for. First up, people posing as Bank Of America fraud department employees are tricking customers into transferring them money via Zelle. Next is a Florida woman who conned an 87-year-old Holocaust survivor out of $2.8 million. Then, a fake romance crypto scam that began over Hinge and ending with something horrifically called "pig butchering." Finally, what happens when you hire someone to solve your scam... only for the investigator to be a scammer themself? And to wrap up the show, an update on Sarma Melngailis aka The Bad Vegan.

A frank discussion on the subject of the Netflix docu-series Bad Vegan. One-on-one coercive control is what this story was about! Sarma co-founded Pure Food and Wine restaurant in NYC and founded the raw vegan brand, One Lucky Duck. The series failed utterly by not explaining how predators operate, or how hypnosis can be used to elicit obedience and induce amnesia. In this case, large sums were drained from Sarma's business, and both she and her predator were jailed at Rikers Island, prosecuted as if both had criminal intent. This episode is for anyone wishing to understand how an educated, intelligent woman's business and life were obliterated via years-long grooming and mind control. All the evidence was there but prosecutors IMPO did not wish to investigate what really happened. Learn more about Steven Hassan and Freedom of Mind Resource Center.

This week's episode explores the lies of the now infamous Love Scammer, Simon Leviev, also know as the Tinder Swindler. We look at the effects of his lies through the eyes of the 3 women he swindled as depicted in the hit Netflix documentary. We ask questions about the elevation of scammers in the current era, including in the strange saga of The Bad Vegan, restauranteur Sarma Melngailis, and discuss 'Love' and how the pursuit of it or the drive to keep it can cause many of us to stop asking questions and to believe the plainly unbelievable.

Are you still trying to make sense of the Netflix docuseries Bad Vegan? You are not alone! So many of you asked Laura to deconstruct and analyse the case. In this episode, Laura goes behind the scenes of the four-part docuseries with Joey Rapice. Joey was the beverage director at Pure Food and Wine for 10 years and helped set up the restaurant. Joey provides an independent lens to view Anthony Strangis and Sarma Melngailis through. It's time to separate the fact from the fiction. You won't want to miss this. #TrueCrime #Podcast #CrimeAnalyst #BadVegan #SarmaMelngailis #AnthonyStrangis #ShaneFox #CoerciveControl Joey's Hot Sauce https://www.joeyshotsauce.com/ Clip https://youtu.be/4nTf7iViYUI Sources https://www.indiewire.com/2022/03/bad-vegan-netflix-sarma-melngailis-will-richards-1234708588/ https://nypost.com/2016/05/22/the-crazy-crash-of-nycs-hottest-vegan/ https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2016/11/how-sarma-melngailis-became-a-runaway-fugitive https://www.eonline.com/news/1323233/bad-vegan-director-knows-sarma-melngailis-will-be-your-next-true-crime-obsession Follow Me: Tik Tok @crimeanalystpod Twitter @thecrimeanalyst IG @crimeanalyst Leave a Review If you want to support my work and Crime Analyst, please take two minutes to leave a 5-star review https://www.crime-analyst.com/reviews/new/

So many stories about vegans behaving badly are emerging. There have been several very high profile vegans that have been caught stealing, manipulating their followers and flat out lying to investors and people all over the world while promoting a so-called "healthy lifestyle". People like Belle Gibson, The Vegan Teacher on TikTok and Sarma Melngailis have been caught up in scandals, have made a lot of bad decisions, and have turned their backs on the people who supported them, exposing deep hypocrisy, theft and deception. I used to be a "vegan", worked as an Executive Raw Food Chef back in the early 2000's and even wrote a book about raw food. I eventually realized veganism wasn't the nutritionally ideal diet for me. But this episode isn't about me. It's a kind of sad story of vegan influencers that makes me questions the moral high ground that many vegans stand on. Because, if not eating meat helps you live (supposedly) healthier and more "pure" life, why are vegans behaving so badly? T'is a pickle. Thanks for listening and sharing this episode with someone you love.

Have you heard about how to boil a frog? They say if you throw a frog into a pot of boiling water - it will jump out. But if you throw a frog in a pot of cool water… and you slowly start turning up the heat. Slowly but surely. So slow that it's just incremental changes in heat. It's said the frog will sit there, completely unaware of its impending doom, and it will be cooked to death. The frog has been “willingly” cooked alive. Do you think humans are any smarter than frogs? Maybe not. Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

How do we respond to virtually insane behavior by vital, creative women who devote their lives to petty shysters and hoodlums who rip them off and destroy their livelihoods, families, lives? We can issue warnings about checking out online hook-ups. But the signs are always there, background checks or no (hints: when they say they are secret agents, ask endlessly for money, cut off your family connections, etc.) Yet brilliant women still go down the tubes. Take the case of “The Bad Vegan,” Sarma Melngailis, who conquered New York and the world with a new veganism, and ended up on the lam in anonymous motels, in prison, $millions in debt, and even ripped off her mother for $hundreds of thousands. All for an obese con man who “brainwashed” her into loving him. Keyword: Values Added bonus: How to raise a child who will not likewise succumb.

This week the gals talk about the "Vegan Bernie Maddoff", Sarma Melngailis. Jeepers Creepers!Bad Vegan is topping the charts on Netflix right now and it made us question "why haven't we covered any con artists?!". Sarma Melngailis was once known as "The Vegan Queen" but fell into disgrace when she was caught ordering Dominoes while holed up in a Tennessee hotel. But it wasn't Sarma who made the order, it was conman Anthony Strangis. Sarma's taken most of the flack for the downfall of her immensely popular raw, vegan NYC restaurant Pure Food and Wine, but Strangis is the one who we should be pointing the finger at. Join us as we dive into the wild story of how this gambling-addict conman ruined (at least temporarily) the life of this famous chef.-For more info about today's story, check out our sources at tsfuthepodcast.com/blog.-To play the new and improved version of "Fucked Up Bingo" with us (for a chance to win a FREE month of Patreon) head over to tsfuthepodcast.com/bingo!-Or if you'd just like to support your gals and the show, you can head over to patreon.com/TSFU and join for as little as $5 a month!

A Little Bit Culty –If the producers of Tiger King decide to make their next true crime show about you, you've got a helluva story. Sarma Melngailis is the woman at the heart of “Bad Vegan” the buzzworthy Netflix docu-series that chronicles her meteoric rise to fame, and her disturbing crash and burn from celebrity chef to fugitive. It's the stuff of clickbait gold, but beyond the headlines, there's usually more to it. And Sarma's story is, you guessed it: More than a little bit culty. We don't want to spoil anything, but there's a Keith Raniere-esque player involved in this epic fail. Sarma fell under the sway of a gambler with a criminal past who slid into her Twitter DMs with shady moves straight out of the NXIVM playbook, and then she married him. Cue the alleged gaslighting, sleep deprivation, and sexual humiliation. Pro-tip: If you've come to believe that your pit bull is on the cusp of being made immortal: you've probably been mindfucked. Sarma's got a lot to say now that those Netflix cameras aren't rolling, and she's only speaking to us.Official website: sarmaraw.comTwitter: @sarma Instagram: @sarmamelngailis Support the ALBC Pod: This podcast thing is a labor of love, but we also like money just fine.

On #TrueCrimeTuesday this week, we highlight the Netflix documentary called ‘The Bad Vegan' which follows the strange story of a woman named Sarma Melngailis
At the age of 28, Russell took a life-changing trip to Koh Samui, Thailand. After years of working in the fast food industry, he had developed skin problems and was searching for a solution. In his research, Russell read about the powers of fasting and the spas in Thailand that offered these healing retreats. It was during this time that Russell discovered raw foods. Russell’s passion was ignited by vibrant meals he was able to create with raw food. Not only were these dishes creative and flavorful, the health benefits were amazing. This excitement led Russell to start a blog about his raw food journey. Others became interested in Russell’s natural talent and began to take notice of this up-and-coming raw chef. Teaching local classes, he began drawing students from all over Europe and the US. His drive was to make raw food accessible every day. Whether it was raw sandwiches or show-stopping dinner parties, your meals could be amazingly healthy. Today, Russell has had the pleasure of teaching raw food to thousands of people worldwide through his podcasts, eBooks, live classes and online courses. Russell now runs Eat Like An Adult (eatlikeanadult.com) and Being Whole (beingwholenow.com), of which The Raw Chef (https://therawchef.com/) is part of. Russell grew up eating home-cooked meals such as Spaghetti Bolognese, Sunday roasts and curries His dad (a part-time firefighter and painter and decorator) took over the family meals as his mum was working (as a driving instructor) Allowed to eat what he wanted, including sugary treats His mum intuitively knew that she didn’t want an over-reliance on meat As a child, he didn’t have much interest in cooking Russell worked at Burger King and ate fast food daily whilst at that job, he suffered with acne at that time At arts school, his interest in creating things waned He went into middle management at Tesco’s, not knowing how he got there in his mid-20s and realised it wasn’t where he wanted to be Russell then became a driving instructor as his Stepdad owned a driving school and his mum was a driving instructor He realised that he wanted a flexible job and to be self-employed Fasting and juicing had a big impact on his skin health He realised he had an outlet for creativity around food Russell started creating recipes, shooting photography and becoming a food blogger Several participants on a documentary about juice fasting in Thailand mentioned clearer skin, and Russell travelled to the same retreat centre. Putting personal experience above scientific proof The lack of information about acne and nutrition, despite the strong connection between them The stigma about being a man who ate healthily Karen Knowler ( https://twitter.com/KarenKnowler ) ran The Fresh Network, Raw Food by Matthew Kenney and Sarma Melngailis was one of the first books on this topic The blog evolved into online and in-person courses It’s not necessary to be 100% raw Amy Levin- raw chocolate and desserts https://www.amylevin.co.uk/ Pleasure and joy from the presentation and taste of food Removing limitations around food choices Eat Like an Adult - https://www.eatlikeanadult.com/ came about from feeling restricted as just ‘The Raw Chef’ Minimalist Baker https://minimalistbaker.com/ Eat Like an Adult is for ‘busy people who want to eat right’ , nourishing wholefood recipes that don’t take a lot of time to prepare Michael Pollan phrase ‘eat food, not too much, mostly plants’ Colour and the enjoyment of food Blue Zones https://www.bluezones.com/ The shared experience of eating together is nourishing in itself Morphogenic field “You’re only one meal away from being a healthy eater” Avoid giving yourself a hard time or judging yourself The effects of deprivation and indulgence “Personal responsibility is where the power is” Intestinal flora can predispose you to sugar cravings and obesity Many people now have the link that a treat doesn’t have Resources: Eat Like and Adult: IG https://www.instagram.com/eatlikeanadult/?hl=en FB https://www.facebook.com/eatlikeanadult www.eatlikeanadult.com The Raw Chef: https://www.instagram.com/therawchef/ https://therawchef.com/
Saturday Night Live writer and hilarious comedian, Anna Drezen, takes a break from 30 Rock to stop by the studio and talk to us about the amazing con-artist, Clark Rockefeller. aka Christopher Chichester. aka Christian Gerhartsreiter. aka Chip Smith. This guy has had so many names. And tinted glasses, and the audacity to give David Berkowitz’s social security number on a job application! (He’s the Son of Sam.) The balls! Anna, go put this in one of your skits for SNL. Anyway, we’ve got 17 aliases, 3 hilarious comedians, and 3 dogs in the More Banana podcast studio today. (Our producer, Cait, calls it Kill Room Studios. Should we be concerned? If we go missing, check the Kill Room!) One of the common themes we see with all of these scammers is that they have a crazy amount of gusto and confidence and people just bow down to that without verifying stuff. Indeed, a scammer is also referred to as a con artist, or con-man, which is short for “confidence man.” The deeper we get into these scams, the more we realize this to be true! It’s crazy that every subject of our podcast, every person we focus on, is super, super super confident. That’s what it takes to be a good trickster, we guess! Clark Rockefeller was so confident that he deserved to live in that lady’s house in California that he killed her kids and buried them in the backyard! Call it delusional, call it crazy, but he was, over everything else, absolutely certain that no one else would call him out on his bullshit. And that’s exactly how he got hired on Wall Street, too. He just walked down to the Financial District with a sharp jawline and a fake name and the Son of Sam’s social security number and knew that no one would question him! It’s wild. As a woman, it’s much tougher to have that kind of confidence. We’re taught to second guess ourselves,and that something isn’t happening, even when it is. That’s what gaslighting is. When you call someone out on something and they’re like, “I’m not crazy, you’re crazy and here’s why!” Oh! We forgot to tell you this. We tweeted it from our account (@scamwowpodcast), but maybe you missed it because it seems like people don’t use Twitter anymore. Anyway, the New York Post reported over the weekend that Louis C.K. gave Sarma Melngailis an STD! Can you believe?! There were some emails leaked between the two of them and, MAN, were they gaslighty! Louis C.K. was like, “I never told you I was clean. No one is truly clean in this day and age.” Which is SOME BULLSHIT because, um, YES, you absolutely CAN be clean. All you have to is get a test and it will tell you and then get your ailments treated. Oh, in case you don’t recall, Sarma is the former vegan chef and owner of One Lucky Duck and Pure Food and Wine who was sort of brainwashed (we think) into giving all her money to a random guy and her businesses eventually folded and she ended up in a hotel room eating pizza. It was wild. We have an episode on it. Anyway, things are a trash fire. Hope you enjoy the podcast! Our Patreon, social media channels, and more!

Joe Escalante is back with another day of answering listeners legal questions, discusses a Lifetime Christmas movie lawsuit, and Louis C.K may have given Sarma Melngailis an STD.
