That’s one question raised by the case of 49-year-old Andrew Albert, who’s just been indicted by the Manhattan district attorney for grand larceny. Albert allegedly swindled investors out of nearly $600,000 by pretending to start a luxury shopping website, on1ave.com. The only place the money appears to have gone is toward a large loft in Tribeca and expenses that included $26,000 in groceries, $6,700 on a dog, and $9,000 on hair and makeup. Another question: Is Andrew Albert actually a recently graduated sorority sister, and are those “investors” his/her parents?
