It's cool that all that's going on while Ezra Marcus is just doing pull-ups in the corner, but that's cool that...

That's cool that you guys are able to kind of get work done while there's other people doing their thing.

But yeah, that...

Welcome to another episode of Nympha Alumni.

I'm Sam, and today I'm hosting a solo, joined by our first ever male repeat guest, journalist Ezra Marcus.

For those of you unfamiliar, you may have read Ezra's work in publications like The New York Times, Airmail, and The Cut, among others.

Ezra has developed a particular kind of, I guess, nouveau vice reportage.

The story was so crazy no one would believe it when anyone talked about it, and if they did, they seemed insane and like a conspiracy theorist.

They decided that since the law wasn't going to do anything about it, the next best thing to do was to tell another alumni about it named Ezra Marcus, who at the time was a freelance reporter.

When he heard about the situation, he thought it had potential to be a good story.

Yeah, no shit.

I want someone to do, like, a true investigation on her, but-

Ezra Marcus.

I know.

[laughs]

I'm super excited to see-

Yeah

... yeah, excited to see what Sam Hyneman does at New York Mag and Ezra Marcus also there and writing style articles.

I think there's, like, one.

Yeah.

So there was a there was a piece in, I want to say, New York mag by Ezra Marcus, and it was kind of reporting on this kind of arrest.

It was in like TMZ of where a bunch of like bros in somewhere in lower Manhattan apparently had a a house that was just like.

built on crypto money, and they had kept a Italian boy, not boy, but he's probably like early 20s.

According to AllThat'sInteresting.com, one of Claudia's friends, Raven, came across the website and was horrified.

She shared it with a Sarah Lawrence alum and journalist, Ezra Marcus, who immediately realized something was terribly wrong.

Marcus partnered with New York Magazine reporter James D. Walsh, and over the next 10 months, they interviewed dozens of former students, friends, and family members, piecing together the disturbing story of Larry Ray's years of manipulation and abuse.

In April of 2019, New York Magazine published The Stolen Kids of Sarah Lawrence.
