THE SHADY LADY:
A ROBUST BLEND OF PRIVILEGE, INFLUENCE, AND WHITE COLLAR CRIME
by Kara Poe Atnip and Lisa Dellagiarino
Preston Taylor, executive director of a Portland, Oregon-based environmental nonprofit, has two loves: yachts and women. His wife (Elizabeth) is running for governor. Her campaign is using up most of their disposable income, so when Preston falls in love with The Shady Lady – a yacht far outside his price range – he uses the nonprofit’s money to buy it, unbeknownst to his staff (Nicole, Madison, Leah, Melinda, Deborah, and Big Preston – his son). But now, Ronan Farrow is coming by the office at noon for an interview. Preston and his staff must scramble to cover up the evidence of his embezzlement before Farrow exposes them – and they all end up in federal prison.
