‘Hollywood Con Queen’ fails to quash US extradition


An Indonesian national dubbed the “Hollywood Con Queen” by the media for allegedly impersonating top female movie industry executives in a seven-­year fraud lost his bid on Tuesday to block his extradition from Britain to stand trial in the United States.

Hargobind Tahilramani is wanted in California on charges of wire fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud and aggravated identity theft for allegedly defrauding around 300 people out of a total of approximately US$1mil (RM4.2mil) between 2013 and 2020.
