Hipster grifter defense fund?

Utah's infamous "hipster grifter" has been busted in Philadelphia. Twenty-two-year-old Kari Ferrell will soon be extradited to Salt Lake City where she is on the most-wanted list for $60,000 in theft and fraud warrants.

Ferrell preyed on the young and hip in Salt Lake City, New York and Philadelphia who were charmed by her frank sexuality, bon mots and claims of music-scene contacts. When that failed, she told them she was dying of cancer.

She became a cult anti-hero nationwide, spawning legends, satirical fiction and even a hipster-grifter foldable icon, above.
