Roblox inventor’s widow claims she was scammed out of millions by escort

  • Marianne Flippo, the widow of an early Roblox employee, filed a lawsuit in Manhattan Supreme Court accusing male escort Greggory Blaine Starr of defrauding her out of nearly $6 million.
  • Flippo hired Starr through the escort service Cowboys4Angels following her husband's suicide in August 2024, which left her with a substantial inheritance.
  • The lawsuit alleges Starr exploited Flippo while she was grieving, suffering from a rare genetic disorder, and under the influence of strong prescription painkillers.
  • Starr allegedly convinced Flippo to pay a false $10 million contract exit fee, leading her to deposit $5.95 million into a joint account after banks blocked direct wire transfers over fraud concerns.
  • Flippo's attorneys uncovered the alleged scheme, and she is now seeking a temporary restraining order alongside the full return of her funds.
