Two “callous” congirls duped at least 16 lonely old men out of more than $7 million in a long-running romance scam, Manhattan federal prosecutors said. 

Rosanna Lisa Stanley and Gina Guy reeled in the “elderly” marks with tall tales about kidney and liver transplants and paid the grifters big bucks for bogus business investments, prosecutors alleged. 

The romance scam ran from at least 2009 until this year when they were arrested last month, authorities said.

The heartbreakers hooked their victims through “in-person meetings, phone calls, text messages, and an online dating platform,” according to court documents.

“[I]nvoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God,” the Constitution of the Confederate States of America composed by southern slaveholders in 1861 sought to “establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” The authors of Project 2025, the latest playbook for restructuring the federal government in order to accomplish the policy goals of Christian Nationalists, similarly declare their manifesto will “decide America’s future” by securing their “God-given individual rights to live freely” and exercise dominion over others.
