A wealthy Manhattan woman is suing her tanning salon employee husband for duping her out of $700,000 and spend on his mistress, according to the New York Daily News.
Candice Feinberg Lalicata, 39, is suing her husband Steven Lalicata for allegedly conning her. According to court papers, Lalicata said that her husband asked her money to pay off his gambling debts only to find out that Steven was spending the supposed gambling payments to his mistress Diana Fernandez.
Diana Fernandez, a resident of New Jersey, liked to be showered with jewelry and gifts, the court papers said.
Reports said that Steven Lalicata and Diana Fernandez allegedly schemed to con the wealthy Lalicata for $10 million.
The schemers made Lalicata "believe that her husband, Steven Lalicata, whom she had recently married, owed large gambling debts to members of organized crime. Through a series of coordinated communications, they led her to believe physical well-being would be in jeopardy if she did not make huge amounts of cash available to him on short notice," according to her Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit.
The Manhattan court papers continued that the scheme was but "a ruse" and that the male Lalicata was stealing his wife's money in order to live a double life.
The lawsuit continued saying that the male Lalicata was using the supposed gambling payment money to further her sexual relationship with Diana Fernandez by lavishing her with gifts and going on trips with her friends and cousin.
"I am concerned that these people may prey on other victims," Candice Feinberg Lalicata told the New York Daily News. "I believe that they brought me and my young son into their confidences solely, from the get go, to steal as much as they could from me."
Candice Feiberg Lalicata is a divorced of a five-year-old boy. She first met Steven Lalicata in April of 2010, when he was working for Beach Bum Tanning Salon on the Upper West Side.
