He took the money and ran!
A male escort accused of scamming a lonely New York City widow has fled to Dubai — and secretly wired over $1 million of her fortune to an offshore Middle Eastern account, her attorney claimed Thursday.
Chiseled gigolo Greggory Starr transferred the cash from his account to one based in Dubai, bank records show — just days after grieving Marianne Flippo sued him, claiming he swindled her out of $6 million.
“He moved the money to Dubai, he fled to Dubai,” said the widow’s attorney, Larry Hutcher, after a court hearing in Manhattan Thursday. “He’s still in Dubai. He’s not coming back.”
Starr and his attorneys hit back, saying there was no fraud and no fleeing — just an escort on vacation.
“What’s anyone doing in Dubai? Traveling and enjoying the Middle East.” said his lawyer Todd Spodek.
The silver-haired hunk’s lawyers were in court to argue against a request by Flippo — whose late husband was an inventor of the popular game “Roblox” — that his assets should be frozen, as she seeks to get her allegedly siphoned funds back.
Starr — who wasn’t at the hearing — has claimed the pair were in a domestic partnership, with plans to wed, and that they were in love.
But Flippo scoffed at the notion.
“The person that I fell in love with, he does not exist,” she told The Post outside court. “That does not exist. It was all a lie, all a manufactured lie.”
