Before she married an Ask.com cofounder, Cristina Warthen (née Schultz) advertised escort services online as “Brazil” and boasted of making enough to pay for her Stanford law degree. She has pleaded guilty to tax evasion.
Prosecutors brought charges against Warthen in October, after a long-running investigation whose highlight was a 2004 bust in her Oakland apartment. Police found $61,000 in cash there and in a storage locker; some of the bills were found in an old law-school book. Her husband, David Warthen, whom she married in May 2004, claimed that the money was a gift from him.
“I have paid off 100% of my loans, and I have tried to send a positive message to SF escorts re: assumptions about the nature and social status of women in the business,” she wrote on an Internet message board devoted to “high-dollar hotties,” investigators wrote in an affidavit filed in the case.
