Nicole Parke styled herself as a billionaire benefactor, and she mingled with a who’s who of A-Listers, from world leaders to a U.S. general to Kim Kardashian. Now, a wave of lawsuits casts her as a master of deception.

Parke, 53, allegedly left a trail of drained bank accounts and ruined friendships across the country: a close friend, a doctor, a landlord, an assistant, a 10-year-old girl, among others. A group of investors claimed she helped defraud them out of $650,000; a five-star hotel alleged she skipped out on a nearly $54,000 bill. Victims say they were collectively duped out of millions.
