| Nicole Murphy, Ex wife of Eddie Murphy |
The ex-wife of comedian Eddie Murphy lost a $7 million chunk of her divorce settlement after some not-so-funny business with a brazen con man, federal prosecutors said.
Authorities didn’t name Nicole Murphy in court paperwork unsealed Tuesday, but a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles last year outs her as the victim of Troy David Stratos' alleged fraud.
Stratos was arrested in Southern California early Tuesday and charged with 11 counts of wire and mail fraud, two counts of money laundering and one count of obstruction of justice.
