Alla Wartenberg, whose "Apprentice" bio describes her as a self-made multi-millionaire who owns a chain of upscale salons and day spas in Las Vegas, allegedly once worked at a Vegas strip club and may have been involved with a man who conspired to rob and murder several individuals, according to theSmokingGun.com.
According to the web site's report, during her days working at The Palomino, an all-nude Vegas club, "Wartenberg developed a 'pretty platonic relationship' with a regular named Robert Acremant, a California businessman who would pay her between $500-1500 (and sometimes more) for an evening's worth of dances."
However, it was this courtship of Alla that would allegedly drive a desperate Acremant, who needed money to spend on Alla, to plot the 1995 robbery of two Oregon women — an attempted heist that ended with Acremant killing the duo, the web site reports.
Acremant also murdered Scott George, a California friend, in a second botched 1995 robbery bid, according to the site.
Convicted in the slayings, Acremant has been sentenced to death in both California and Oregon, where he is currently imprisoned. According to investigators, Acremant considered Alla his girlfriend, while she saw him as nothing more than a cash machine, a pleasant mark with whom she shared her phone number, but no intimacies, the web site report continued.
Makes you wonder, if she makes this kind of money, why she wants to be the Apprentice?
