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.
Then I spoke to one of the victims, this young guy, he was a photographer, and I got on the phone with him and he unspooled this story for me.
We spoke for like two hours and he just told me this absolutely unbelievable story about how he had gone to Indonesia,
thinking he was working for Amy Pascal.
