What began as a decade-long friendship has spiraled into a bitter courtroom battle.
Taylor Thomson, 66, a billionaire heiress from one of Canada’s wealthiest families, is suing her former best friend, Ashley Richardson, 47, after a failed crypto gamble allegedly cost them $80 million.
According to The Wall Street Journal, the two women met at a Malibu party in 2009 and quickly became inseparable. For years, they shared a glamorous Los Angeles lifestyle filled with luxury and travel. But things fell apart in 2022 when their crypto investments — reportedly made on the advice of psychics — collapsed.
Thomson now claims Richardson not only pushed her into the risky trades but also made financial moves behind her back. What was once a close bond between best friends has now turned into a high-stakes legal feud.
