Picking yourself up in America has never been about hiding your past. Think no one remembers the past of G Gordon Liddy? Ollie North? Jack Abramoff? Robert Downie Jr.?

Bankruptcy laws don't hide your bankruptcy. In fact it becomes public information indefinitely. They just let you reset financially.

This woman has every opportunity in the world to pick herself up and make a new career, or even keep going in the career she's in now. All she has to do is reset herself to reality. If she's been lying about her connections, she needs to stop lying and work her way up through the industry the right way--with work and dedication. Someone will give her a chance but she needs to learn from this shaming.
