If you’re caught up on The Tinder Swindler and Inventing Anna, we’ve got another scam to whet your appetite. The trailer for Bad Vegan: Fame. Fraud. Fugitives. is here, and it looks like quite the feast. The docuseries follows one of New York’s strangest scandals, involving millions of dollars, immortal dogs and a story of love turned criminal.
Sarma Melngailis was once regarded as the vegan queen. As the celebrity restaurateur behind New York’s Pure Food & Wine, her glittering vegan hotspot attracted diners like Owen Wilson and Woody Harrelson. In 2011, Melngailis meets a man named Shane Fox on Twitter — but things go from oomf to oof really quickly. Melngailis drains her restaurant’s funds and begins funneling money to Fox after he cons her into believing he can make her dreams come true. Among these aspirations are expanding her food empire and making her beloved pit bull immortal. After stealing nearly $2 million and making a run for it, the now-married couple meets their undoing after ordering a Domino’s pizza.

From the executive producer of Tiger King and director of Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened, the four-part series takes viewers on a journey more bizarre than fiction. Before Bad Vegan premieres on March 16, watch the trailer for a slice of what to expect from this twisted tale.
