[quote=Anonymous]I am a little late, but I binged this today and was like, what??!!

I feel sorry for Sarma, and I thought she came across as so very likeable and forthright. I don't think she is ducking responsibility, she seems pretty realistic about her responsibility in it, but who know what is real.

Anyway, I think she has BPD (borderline personality disorder). Women with BPD are known to fall for scams easily (fortune is right around the corner!) because of their need to win or be rescued. She deeply regretted missing her chance at win/rescue/validation with Baldwin, and it set her down so bad she was deep in Alec's twitter when she picked up Anthony, then bared all her deepest insecurities to a total stranger.

Anthony the conman picked this up and leaned in heavily on the whole rescuer role. He was so smalltime before he picked up this NYC lady! But he had all the skills down pat already.

I liked the part at the end where the VF writer hypothesized that it was Sarma's grift, to marry him for money and save her restaurant, that morphed into Anthony's grift.

Anthony's grift is heavy on the sunk cost fallacy, in which you already invested so much you can't turn back, and "just a bit more and you get it" carrots. Sarma writes that she always thought she would be a queen!

Then Sarma goes and has a hot sex affair with her lawyer. Anthony is a worse person by 1000x, but here is an example of the combustion of two people, mentally ill in different ways, the harm they do to others, with money for fuel.[/quote]
