Sarma and her then husband Anthony Strangis (also known as “Shane Fox”) were arrested in Sevierville, Tennessee, on May 12, 2016, after he ordered a pizza from Domino’s Pizza.

Sarma Melngailis, and her fraudster husband, Anthony Strangis, together would scam their investors and employees of their money, nearly $2m.
Subsequently, they would go for a run but be caught because of one foolish decision.
Strangis, who also goes by Shane Fox, would order a Domino’s pizza to their Tennessee motel using his real name. The pizza did arrive but along came the cops.
The story gets more absurd as the docuseries maps the timeline of their relationship.
Duping Sarma and her employees wasn’t his first. The man has previously faked as a police officer and was imprisoned for a year on Riker’s Island.

For swindling $1m from Sarma’s restaurant, the judge sentenced him to 5 years of probation. In 2017, the “complete maniac” was accused of grand larceny, theft, and criminal tax fraud.
Is Sarma Still With Anthony?
Sarma Melngailis filed for divorce from Anthony Strangis (or Shane Fox, or Michael Caledonia) in May 2018, making it evident that they are in no way, shape, or form together anymore.
With that said, although she hasn’t openly talked about it apart from implying she’s not in love with him, ‘Bad Vegan’ suggests that they are, at least, still in touch while being amicable.
After all, in the recording of their 2019 phone call — nearly two years following Sarma’s release from jail — not only did Anthony admit to missing her, but he was also proud of still having the ability to make her laugh.
