What was the gist of Nabisco that day? I don't remember any of it. Husband had to stay in LA until Fall of last year. Don't know why there was that gap between her moving out and him joining her, but there's many plausible reasons for that. He insisted they were never divorced or seperated, but he knew for years before ILX she had been telling people online she was divorced.

The key is the whole 80% truth-20% lie. If everything you tell is a lie, it all crumbles quicker and with less pressure. Bedrock of truth to give the "active ingredient" lies more vigor.

For people who don't remember what happened back then, pretty much all the important stuff (not counting Chaki's earlier "fake" cries) is in this thread:

I've been going through that thread myself starting from here Not location specific, No rules: Welcome to ILX heaven
I noticed that the less we spoke the less plausible she was; she didn't remember what she'd told me because the gaps were longer and longer and she'd reference something casually (as if she'd mentioned it to me) which to me was totally out of the blue.

It's a good read. I was in NZ when it happened so it wasn't until the "hotdog down my hallway" lady thing that I went back and immersed myself in that thread.

still feel like there's a movie and/or reality show in all this
Seriously. She scammed so much money, it seems much more sinister than the Catfish story.
I was away from ilx because of medical issues when Luna day happened, it was fascinating to go back and read later. Luna had always seemed off to me -- not because I thought she was scamming people out of money or anything, but there was just something very saccharine and twee about her that rang false. And the pictures seemed fake. I thought she was just a shut-in who wanted attention, not a genuine con artist.

lmao @ chaki
i hope all of those luna defenders find out the truth. not because i want them to feel bad but because they deserve to.

not deserve to feel bad, to fin out the truth.

this has all been v. enlightening, i always assumed luna was a dude pretending to be a woman or something; i guess that could still be the case.
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 18 October 2012 17:07 (eleven years ago) link
I don't really see how what chaki did was 'heroic' - why didn't he just come out with it instead of confusing and upsetting people?
(This is from the perspective of someone who never had any interaction with luna ever, so I certainly wasn't a defender of her back in the day. Whoever said chaki had a reputation for being an asshat to women and people thought he was continuing that persona was otm, though.)

She posted on loads of wdyll threads, always with photos of the same model type. Somewhere there's a real woman walking around with zero idea that someone on the internet pretended to be her for like four years.

So did she get $ out of anyone else? Can this be answered anonymously? I think painting her as some mastermind con artist is giving her too much credit. My take is she was starved for attention, and it wasn't til quit her job and moved out of state that she turned to "taking charity". Like I don't even know if that was the prime motivation behind the lies. Attention was, and then oh fuck I have no money hmmm maybe I can get some through this avenue...
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Thursday, 18 October 2012 17:09 (eleven years ago) link
i think the fact that you were still talking to her until like yesterday is pretty good evidence
― Author ~ Coach ~ Goddess (s1ocki), Thursday, 18 October 2012 17:10 (eleven years ago) link
dude she's the only person I play in WWF that routinely trounced me. but course now I just assumed she cheated!

are you sure that ANY of this is true? are you not skeptical of every single detail involving her?

Slocky please don't pretend that you have a better handle on things than people closer to the situation. I wasn't "talking to her until like yesterday". Like M White, less and less frequent "hey how you doing??" texts/emails over the years. And xmas cookies! She never asked me for any cash or gifts in almost 10 yrs. If she was a world-class con artist, 1 score over 15 yrs isn't a very good resume.
