These famous Hollywood producers, all women.

And these are not names that, you know, your average Joe would have heard of, but, but in certain circles, they were huge, you know, hugely influential, very powerful people.

So for instance, folks like Kathleen Kennedy, who produced, you know, E.T., for instance.

Amy Pascal was another.

She produced some really big movies.

There were a number of these very high powered

women who were being impersonated.

Well, not only were they being impersonated, but whoever was impersonating them was contacting up and coming professionals in the entertainment industry and selling them on the idea of some sort of work project for which it was required that they then travel to Indonesia.

And so these, you know, these up and coming artists, a lot of photographers, you know, actors, screenwriters, people who were sort of in the business of entertainment were being contacted supposedly by these, by these famous women and, and, and being told that they needed to go to Indonesia on these fake work projects.

So right away, you know, it, it,

it immediately took on these very strange overtones because I thought, well, this is just completely bizarre.

Who would do this?

Why Indonesia?

What's the point?

Where's the money?

How does it all fit together?

What's going on?

It didn't really make much sense.

And of course, as a journalist, when it doesn't make much sense, you get more interested.

So I was pretty curious at this point.
