Dumb Criminals: Man Cons Wife Into $750K That He Spends On Mistress
He puts the bum in Beach Bum Tanning.
A wealthy Manhattan woman says a tanning salon employee she married duped her out of $700,000, telling her he needed the money to pay off gambling debts.
In reality, Steven Lalicata's "gambling debt" was a girlfriend in New Jersey who liked to be showered with jewelry and presents, according to court papers.
Now burned bride Candice Feinberg Lalicata, 39, is suing her sneaky spouse, his girlfriend and the friends who allegedly helped con her for $10 million.
The schemers led Lalicata "to believe that her husband, Steven Lalicata, whom she had recently married, owed large gambling debts to members of organized crime. Through a series of coordinated communications, they led her to believe physical well-being would be in jeopardy if she did not make huge amounts of cash available to him on short notice," her Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit says.
