NY AM – A personal assistant pleaded not guilty Thursday to bilking $900,000 from her famous boss – Aon heir Todd Meister – and may claim the alleged unauthorized purchases were the spoils from their romantic relationship, according to published reports.
Defense lawyer Mark Agnifilo told reporters outside Manhattan Criminal Court that there was a “romantic component” to the relationship between Renata Shamrakova, 27, and Meister, 41, a hedge fund manager who was briefly married to Nicky Hilton in 2004.
