## Resource

A luxury fashion brand boasting “responsibly made” designs is under fire after prosecutors accuse its owner, Andrea Marshall, of running a sweatshop in New York’s Garment District, stealing over $50,000 in wages and subjecting workers to brutal conditions—including 17-hour days, unpaid labor, and threats of retaliation. Despite celebrity endorsements and high-end pricing, Marshall faces charges of grand larceny and wage theft, with potential prison time of up to 15 years. Her defense claims she’ll be exonerated once fully investigated, while victims say they were trapped, manipulated, and left without pay—even after winning small claims judgments. Authorities are urging others to come forward as the case unfolds. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
