Reports indicate that Canada’s dazzling millionaire heiress to the Thomson Reuters empire, has reportedly lost her best friend and money in a crypto crash worth $80 Million.
Taylor Thomson, has flushed $80 million down the crypto drain, allegedly based on a psychic’s hot tip and her BFF financial guru Ashley Richardson.
Thomson first met Richardson at a party in Malibu in 2009.
Fast forward a decade, the gal pals’ vacations and heart-to-hearts make them best friends.
This also makes Richardson, with zero financial credentials manage Taylor’s crypto portfolio.
Taylor Thomson also invested in the XPRT) token based on psychic direction.
Because nothing screams “sound investment” like cosmic vibes and a crystal ball.
Over 450,000 trades later, the portfolio becomes a complete loss draining Thomson of over $80 Million.
What does Taylor Thomson do next?
Thomson, now suing for at least $25 million, claims Richardson betrayed her, mismanaging funds.
Forensic detectives at Guidepost Solutions uncovered $450,000 unauthorized, high-risk trades, with Thomson’s hardware wallets stashed in Richardson’s drawers like old takeout menus.
Meanwhile, Richardson is crying foul insisting she followed Thomson’s orders to the letter and never pocketed a dime.
Except for an alleged $783,702 “finder’s fee” in XPRT tokens, which she conveniently forgot to mention.
Now bankrupt and playing her own lawyer in court, Richardson’s countersuing for defamation, because nothing says “I’m innocent” like a DIY legal defense.
The moral of this soap opera? Trusting your bestie and a psychic with $80 million in crypto is about as smart as storing your life savings in a sock drawer.
Without contracts or oversight, this friendship turned financial fiasco is a masterclass in how to turn wealth into a legal cage match.
