On February 5, 2010, self-made millionaire and socialite Gigi Jordan poisoned to death her 8-year-old autistic son, Jude, in a luxury hotel suite in Manhattan.

She was convicted of manslaughter—but that it didn’t stop her from suing her ex-husband and more than a dozen “co-conspirator” accountants, attorneys, employees and others, alleging that they defrauded her of $225 million.
