Bad Vegan on Netflix: What Happened to a Couple of Fraudsters?

After Tinder Scammer, Bad Vegan: Scam Menu is the new release of a documentary on Netflix. Sarma Melgailis, a vegan curator who specializes in vegan cuisine, told the incredible story and frauds for which she was tried by Shane Fox / Anthony Strang, his ex-partner who exerted some influence, according to interested parties.

Through four episodes of this thought-provoking documentary series by Chris Smith, which we have already trusted with Jim and Andy, King of the Tigers: Kingdom of the Beasts and FYRE: The Best Festival Ever Been, Bad Vegan tells the story. Sarma Melngail’s crazy ascent to a high-end catering establishment and falling into the industry after meeting and marrying Shane Fox / Anthony Strangis, who lied about his identity and origins.

Despite the threats and influence of Shane Fox / Anthony Strangis, who took a lot of money from him, Sarma Melgailis follows him and after two horrible lovers squander his restaurant’s funds (about $ 2 million) he becomes a wanted fugitive. Their production will stop in 2016.

What happened to Sarma Melgailis and Shane Fox / Anthony Strangis?

Following the arrest, Sarma and her attorneys based their defense on Shane / Anthony’s alleged forcible control of a young woman. However, he pleaded guilty to stealing more than $ 200,000 from an investor the following year and evading taxes. He was sentenced to a full four months in prison.

He has been away from Anthony Strange since 2018 and continues to be active on social media and blogs. Living in the Harlem area of ​​New York City with her dog Leon, Sarma Melgailis says she still suffers from the closure of her restaurant and the termination of her franchise. He is at the center of the Netflix documentary and continues to claim to have acted fraudulently under the influence of Anthony.

For his part, Anthony Strangis was sentenced to five years in prison, but eventually spent only one year in a penitentiary. After his release from prison at the end of 2017, the scammer was very cautious. There is very little information about what happened to Anthony Strange after the scandal, but thanks to a bad vegan we know that he is still in contact with Sarma Melngail.

From the very first minutes of the documentary series, he was called by a former restorer and told Netflix about the project. And his answer reflects the identity of the swindler:

“Fuckin ‘Netflix documentary. Jesus Christ. Are you going to work with them? You know two things about me. One is that I love you. And that you love me, or you love me and I do not. “Two. If I’m not joking, no one will interfere. If I confuse these people again, I swear, I will light a fire. Hell.

Anthony Strangis did not want to appear or appear in any of the Netflix documentaries. After the bad vegan was published on the menu: fraud, he still has not spoken.
