Lady steals $1m from her boss, now wants strangers to help her pay back to avoid jail – Is she okay?

A hedge fund manager's assistant has now turned to social media in order to raise the hundreds of thousands of dollars she has to pay him in restitution after pleading guilty of grand larceny.

Renata Shamrokova, the 28-year-old personal assistant to Nicky Hilton’s former husband, admitted in court that she stole nearly $1million from him.

Now she is trying to raise the first portion of the mandated $821,000 in restitution that she has to give back to Meister in order to avoid spending a year or two in jail.

In court she confessed to taking out two American Express cards in Meister's name and spending $900,000 traveling to Aruba, Canada, France and Italy.

She also bought thousands of pieces of jewelery which she then sold online for cash and paid off the credit cards by writing checks from her lover's JPMorgan account without his knowledge.

The Ukranian-born swindler spent the money while working as his assistant between March 2011 and January 2012 - and while no court records have identified her employer - it is a well-known fact that it was Meister.

In addition, she tried to spend some of the stolen money on starting up a jewelery curating business called Karat & Ice which she called a 'trusted carrier of authentic quality designer merchandise.'

So, let me get this right. You stole money from your boss, spent it on yourself having fun and travelling the world and now you want the world to pay the money back for you so you can avoid jail? Are you for real?

Lady, jail is where you need to go, to learn the lessons of life. Paying for you will be an abuse and a de-service to humanity. 

Go straight to jail, don't pass Go.
