Spent the past nine months investigating a Mormon grifter who claimed to be a Super Bowl winning CIA spy. Fox News anchor @JackieibanezFNC married him. Billionaire Chris Burch invested in him. @LoganPaul partnered with him. Now the FBI is on the case. https://t.co/wUJo3OdhKf

@anthon7yandrews @AMBZAMPOLLI Thanks for picking up my story!

[Adam Robb @lifevicarious]

I interviewed Trump White House Special Envoy Paolo Zampolli for my Curbed investigation into his Union Square diplomatic residence-cum-hostel, while I was eating drinking and dancing my way across Las Vegas for Caper. https://t.co/oY75Ivlsps

[Adam Robb @lifevicarious]

@ELaserDavies @Cat_Zakrzewski And if you haven't read my initial investigation into Zampolli, I explored his personal ties to FashionTV, which has long been linked to foreign sex trafficking.

My latest for @NYMag @Curbed, in which White House Special Envoy Paolo Zampolli told me he's now under investigation by the FBI.

[New York Magazine @NYMag]

Paolo Zampolli, special envoy for global partnerships in the Trump administration, seems to have an unlicensed hostel running out of his Gramercy Park townhouse. But it caters to a very particular audience: Brazilian tourists. https://t.co/l7Ln6OCqqe

While digging through Zampolli's shells and finances, I also learned the backstory of the Wall Street bull replica Zampolli brought to Davos, which @ELaserDavies and @Cat_Zakrzewski wrote about earlier this year.

For @Playboy, I wrote about my favorite photographer, Pixy Liao, and her muse-prop-partner Moro; her latest show, at Florit Florit in Mallorca, channeled the spirit of notorious mobster and wife guy Joey "The Clown" Lombardo, in a Chicago @Airbnb. https://t.co/rKQpR111Kr

For @gourmet_tweets I went long on the life of @chef_morimoto, from the atom bomb to an armed robbery and Iron Chef, Hiroshima to Philadelphia to Montclair, NJ. https://t.co/vYJXHTVHxA

@LouisPisano Just saw you wrote about this last year, I dug a little deeper, and Vanity Fair Denmark doesn't exist, period. Somebody built out a whole website for a fully counterfeit magazine. I asked Conde Nast; no license. https://t.co/aksMZ4fHaX

[Adam Robb @lifevicarious]

I wrote about @iaeaorg deputy director and Iran nuclear inspector, Massimo Aparo. His wife works for a company linked to sex trafficking and corrupt government officials. Her boss's father was a corrupt IAEA diplomat killed for selling nuclear secrets. https://t.co/jXwn4meIFZ

@glamourmag @heidiklum @HofitGolan @JeanShafiroff @VanityFair @ramonasinger @Jillzarin @allihuynh But this wasn't just the women playing with Photoshop. Some of them used a UK PR and modeling agency, The Model Realm, to book their fake covers. The agency no longer exists online, nor does the fake Vanity Fair Denmark website, but the women still maintain their fake press.

[Adam Robb @lifevicarious]

I wrote about how socialites and influencers like @JeanShafiroff @HofitGolan @allihuynh are producing and passing off fake cover stories in @MaximMag @glamourmag @VanityFair, some of which, like "Vanity Fair Denmark" operate fullblown counterfeit websites https://t.co/aksMZ4fHaX

[Adam Robb @lifevicarious]

@glamourmag @heidiklum @HofitGolan @JeanShafiroff @VanityFair @ramonasinger @Jillzarin The venture capitalist @allihuynh claimed to appear on the cover of the non-existent Maxim Asia; she even posted the diet she followed to get in shape for the fake magazine's cover.

[Adam Robb @lifevicarious]

B.R. Guest's Stephen Hanson had a "psycho" girl problem. He bought her a ring, a horse, houses, and she wouldn't leave him alone. What if his wife found out? He asked his friend for help, and Jeffrey Epstein suggested deporting the "bitch" to China. https://t.co/zKXxQvpQ6M

[David Dayen @ddayen]

We have some blockbuster reporting here from @lifevicarious about the State Dept envoy who claims to have introduced Melania to Donald.
Paolo Zampolli owned a fashion agency & is immersed in a world with ties to Epstein & allegations of sex trafficking.

Seven years ago, @theprophetpizza altered the course of my life when she assigned me a story about FashionTV. She left Garage before she could edit my love letter essay to my favorite white noise. I was upset at the time, but it worked out for the best.

Facesitting. Latkes. Art crimes. Omakase. In a word, Miami. A night and day with Andre Sakhai for Caper.

[Caper @_capermedia]

Art dealer Andre Sakhai — an early investor in Chobani and Supreme — and his Spicy Hospitality Group have opened four Miami concepts in quick succession. Across locations, the walls are lined with works by KAWS, Basquiat, and more coveted artworks.

The Pintos designed Jeffrey Epstein’s New York, Paris, and Caribbean homes. But they seem to have turned a blind eye to everything else he did. https://t.co/QJzWnxQzcc

My latest Epstein investigation, this time for @Curbed @NYMag, on his relationship with interior designers Alberto and Linda Pinto: https://t.co/609mvT30lp
