A male escort accused of defrauding a New York City widow, whose late husband was an inventor of Roblox, has allegedly fled to Dubai and transferred over $1 million of her fortune to an offshore account in the Middle East, according to her attorney Larry Hutcher. The alleged scammer's lawyer, Todd Spodek, denies any wrongdoing and claims his client is merely on vacation in Dubai. At a court hearing in Manhattan, Flippo’s lawyer requested that Starr's assets be frozen as part of efforts to recover the stolen funds. Despite these allegations, Starr maintains he was in a serious relationship with Flippo and intends to marry her.
