00:00The chant for peace, which they had us teachers sing at the end of every yoga class,
00:12it's written in Sanskrit. So it goes, loka, samastha, suki no, bhavantu.
00:20I actually have it tattooed on me as well.
00:24And in essence, what it means is you bring peace and you give out peace.
00:30Very much fitting into the spiritual, loving yoga community.
00:36But I knew in my heart something was wrong.
00:40It's nice to feel like, wow, someone gets me.
00:43But it's all a lie.
00:47This fast friendship of an eye doctor and these two yoga gurus
00:52is one of the weirdest and most fascinating stories I've ever worked on.
00:56Things were just getting crazier and crazier.
01:00I just didn't know that it would come to somebody dying.
01:07I just didn't know that it would come to somebody dying.
01:09I just didn't know that it would come to somebody dying.
01:15I just didn't know that it would come.
01:17I just didn't know that it would come to somebody dying.
01:19All I know is that it's not going to happen.
01:21I first heard of this story late one evening.
01:40I received a press release from the U.S. Attorney's Office in Los Angeles
01:44announcing an arrest in a case that felt like the quintessential California story in a way.
01:50It had aspects of wellness culture, dabbling in experimental drug therapies,
01:57and it had a fabulous lifestyle as the backdrop to everything.
02:01How these people came together and how this unfolded just grabbed me right away, it was a big mystery.
02:13I met Anton for the very first time in downtown Fresno.
02:18When I was a brand new yoga teacher, I remember being so excited to meet Anton.
02:26He had long hair, beard, his clothes were linen, very yogic-esque.
02:34I go up to hug him and he stops me and he's like, wait, okay?
02:40And he goes, we don't hug like that.
02:44He says, we can only hug from the left side.
02:47Normally people hug from the right side, but our hearts touch at the left side.
02:53So when I hug you, our hearts are hugging too.
02:57Of course, this amazing person that I'm going to meet is going to, you know, want to hug that way.
03:02It was beautiful in that moment.
03:10Back in 2010, I was part of like a commune type community with Anna.
03:18Anna was fun and outgoing and social.
03:22She was always showing up at events and she was always participating.
03:26And at the time, a lot of people were really into the raw food movement.
03:31And so it became a little bit like a hippie cult, vegan superiority kind of community.
03:39And we wanted to change the world.
03:42Anna was this angelic mermaid yogi.
03:48When she moved, it was like she floated on water.
03:50Anton and Anna meet through a shared love of wellness.
03:57They actually are introduced at a vegan potluck dinner and fall in love.
04:01And end up back in Fresno where they together form this yoga collective.
04:06Welcome back to my conversation with Feather DeWise today.
04:10And our next guest, if you could, please put your hands together for Anna Moore from Fulton Yoga Collective.
04:17You did. You got it correct.
04:19How you doing? How you doing today?
04:20Doing very well. Thank you so much for asking.
04:22Now you are from, I'm assuming, the yoga studio?
04:28Yes, it is a yoga studio in downtown Fresno.
04:31The best memories I have of Anna and Anton was at the yoga studio in downtown Fresno.
04:39We had very, very famous yogis and gurus come and do workshops.
04:46And we did community events and things that really felt like we were opening up Fresno to something so amazing.
04:55I've since left organized religion, but it almost felt like talking to Anton was like getting on the phone
05:18with one of God's angels because he was a deeply spiritual person.
05:24The pivotal moment comes in June 2017 when Dr. Mark Solish walks into Kippy's vegan ice cream parlor in Venice Beach.
05:39And standing in line behind him were Anton and Anna.
05:43By all accounts, this is a chance encounter.
05:46The doctor is kind of a successful but plain spoken and simplistic guy.
05:52He was an ophthalmologist and these two people who were substantially younger than him
05:56and very different in the way that they lived their life.
05:58They were yoga gurus.
06:01They were Burning Man people.
06:03Dr. Solish is really taken by these people.
06:05He decides that he wants to talk to them more.
06:08They kind of connect over sort of a sense of spirituality.
06:12They decide to go walk on the beach when they spend quite a few hours down there talking about business,
06:20philosophy, spirituality, and what they want from life.
06:24These are people he's just met and he decides almost immediately to lend Anton and Anna his Tesla
06:30so they can take a road trip up to Northern California.
06:33Immediately after they finish their road trip, Anna and Anton send Mark a text.
06:38Mark responds to this.
06:47This is a very fast friendship.
06:49But within a week of meeting each other, Anton and Anna moved into his Malibu beach house.
06:55Normally people don't fall in love with each other this quickly or invite someone to come live in their house
07:01on the first day that you've met them.
07:03So this is pretty unusual.
07:06These three people met randomly in a Venice Beach ice cream parlor.
07:10But in the end, one is dead, another is in prison, and the third may have masterminded the whole thing.
07:20Mark Solish was really a rather accomplished ophthalmologist.
07:25He had gone to the University of Chicago where he studied and did his residency at John Hopkins.
07:30He had created patents for corneal implants.
07:34He had settled in California and had built a very successful practice in the Pacific Palisades
07:40and had bought this beautiful house on the beach in Malibu.
07:44The house is what most people would kill for.
07:48It's literally between the Pacific Coast Highway and the beach.
07:53On the surface, Dr. Solish is living the dream.
07:59But not everything is going great for him.
08:01He had ended a sort of lengthy relationship with a girlfriend.
08:06He had been married twice, both short-lived marriages that did not survive.
08:12He is estranged from his family who live in Florida, and he's very alone.
08:17He's seeking structure, and friendship, and companionship.
08:23And in-pop Anna and Anton, who offered to give that to him.
08:28Anton told me that it just seemed that it was like a really good, positive environment.
08:33And we're all just like focused on enjoying life.
08:36They have parties at the house.
08:38And Dr. Solish now suddenly feels he's part of something cool.
08:42I just heard in that community, people were always coming and going and doing stuff.
08:50And it was like a clubhouse party vibe.
08:52I wasn't surprised that they moved that quick because who wouldn't want to live in a beach house in Malibu?
08:56I think Dr. Mark was enjoying it.
08:59You know, just being an older person to feel younger.
09:02They're re-experiencing life again.
09:07Dr. Solish struggles with bipolar disorder,
09:10which is getting worse as he gets older.
09:12And so very quickly, Anna and Anton become indispensable to him,
09:17and have essentially become Mark's family.
09:20They take him to his doctor's appointments.
09:23They drive him everywhere.
09:24They structure his life.
09:26They structure his dietary habits.
09:30They bring in massage therapists who provide massages to Dr. Solish.
09:36I met Mark when I was working for a mobile massage company,
09:43and I just happened to get called out a couple of times to his place.
09:48I love being a massage therapist.
09:51Massage therapists solve problems that you don't even know you have.
09:56During the massage, Mark would always tell me his stories, and I just really enjoyed that.
10:01Anton did all the scheduling, and then I became one of the therapists who had a lot of shifts with Mark.
10:12Anna and Anton and Mark were all best friends.
10:17They all just got along really well.
10:21And Anton, right off the bat, comes off as the wonderful caretaker.
10:27Anton was always very encouraging, very nice person, just always very generous.
10:34Whatever you needed, he was always there to help.
10:36If somebody was called, he'd give you his jacket.
10:38And if you want to give it back, like, no, just keep it.
10:41When I first met Anton, right away, he just rolled up a joint, started passing it around,
10:46and we're all just like, sure, why not?
10:49Anton's a very charismatic person.
10:52So that's one of the things that everybody liked when he would show up.
10:55It just seemed like he just brought the party with him.
10:59Our personas meshed very well.
11:01We saw each other, like, basically, like, seven days a week.
11:04He enjoyed being around me because we had a lot of similar interests.
11:06Like, we both surf, you know, we're both very artistic.
11:10And then all of a sudden, through mutual friends, I did hear about Anna.
11:14After Anna meets Anton, he gets also deeply into the wellness space.
11:20He started going to his yoga classes, and he would always dress like a yoga guy.
11:24That became his life.
11:40Anna Moore is an interesting woman.
11:42She's got a great ability to connect with people and kind of make people kind of feel that she's there to help them.
11:50She's a pixie-like blonde who would try to make her way in Hollywood.
11:55You know who really inspired me to be an actor is Robert De Niro.
11:58I grew up watching some of his, like, classic films, like Deer Hunter.
12:03And he is so honest.
12:04And had not had great success with it.
12:07So how long have you been doing this?
12:08Not long.
12:11Do you like it?
12:12I really can't tell you.
12:15Is it a full-time thing or?
12:18Part-time.
12:19Anna was a social charmer.
12:22She wanted to be popular.
12:24She wanted to be the cool girl.
12:26Anna made herself known.
12:28She reinvents herself as a yoga instructor and a figure in the sort of wellness scene in Southern California.
12:36People have been telling me to eat meat and eat eggs and eat whey protein.
12:39And I really don't feel comfortable doing that.
12:41It just doesn't feel right to my heart.
12:43The house of Malibu is no longer just a home.
12:48It has become a wellness retreat.
12:52There's zen sundaes.
12:55Sound baths.
12:58Anna would host vegan cooking nights and they would have chefs come over.
13:06Somebody to come and make smoothies for all the guests while they were doing yoga.
13:13They had the meditations.
13:15They just did a lot of inner healing.
13:19Doing whatever they can to have Mark be one spirit, one mind.
13:26I became like a wellness center and I think Dr. Mark was enjoying it.
13:33Anna taught yoga and she would sing during yoga classes and she had this very beautiful voice.
13:39When you eat raw food, you're like climbing the walls and you know, it was like a monkey circus.
13:46It was crazy.
13:47People being loud and crazy and drums.
13:50Everyone was just free.
13:51It was pretty wild.
13:53Because of how I seen Anton party before I knew it, it was like a drug fast.
14:07It was crazy.
14:19Anton calls us family.
14:21So, the family would be the teachers.
14:24And he would say, we have this house in Malibu that we invite all of our teachers to come to.
14:30You can stay as long as you want.
14:33We will take care of you.
14:34We'll take you to the temples and take you to good food and have you meet all of these influential people.
14:42They would mention how we're very connected with big brands and we can get you to teaching 100 people classes in L.A. or New York.
14:54It was such a big deal.
14:55I had not talked to them for a long time.
14:58So I had called Anna and when she answered the phone, she was like, oh my gosh, I'm so glad to hear from you.
15:04I was just thinking about you.
15:06How's teaching?
15:07I'm hoping you're loving it.
15:08We love you so much.
15:10She kept saying that.
15:10When they would tell it to you, they wanted you to feel it.
15:13Like so internal, so deeply.
15:15It made me feel like, okay, like I'm doing something great for them and they must be so proud of me.
15:21It was everything that I wanted to offer and experience as a teacher.
15:30At this point, Dr. Stalrish has retired from his practice.
15:34He had burned his hands in an accident that had ended his ability to perform surgeries.
15:39Mark has grown terribly bored and becomes very paranoid and he orders Anton and Anna to leave the house for a while.
15:50In the house, cameras are installed for security.
15:53On July 4th, Mark's alone and there's an unfortunate incident where he gets into an altercation on the Santa Monica Pier and punches a jogger in the face.
16:13He's arrested.
16:15He gets arrested again for running out at a bar tab in Malibu.
16:20He then gets arrested for throwing stones at passing cars on the Pacific Coast Highway.
16:26He ends up in jail and he's held on a $40,000 bond.
16:32His family does not want to pay the bail.
16:34They think he's safer inside than out on the streets again.
16:38I asked Mark about it.
16:41Mark was like, I don't talk to them.
16:43There's no family.
16:44My family is Anna and Anton.
16:46He's stuck.
16:48He can't get out.
16:49So he decides to call Anton and ask him for help.
16:54Anton comes in and makes a suggestion.
16:56He says, I can get you this bail money, but you need to give me power of attorney so I can have access to your accounts.
17:02Power of attorney is usually a tool that's granted in a situation where someone is unable to make decisions for themselves or unable to take care of themselves.
17:10And it takes great pressure off him to make some decisions in his life and gives Anton full ability to make all these financial decisions for the doctor.
17:26Anna and Anton bring in a staff of people to help them.
17:30They hire up to 20 people, assistants, massage therapists, you know, anything you can think of there at the house to help deal with Dr. Solish and his needs.
17:40There was the chef.
17:42There was the mate.
17:44And then, like, the five or six massage therapists.
17:46And Anton's business partner.
17:51Despite everything that's going on at the house, Dr. Solish's mental health is really not getting any better.
17:58It's actually maybe getting worse.
18:01With the support of both Anna and Anton, he begins undergoing ketamine treatments for his depression and goes quite frequently.
18:10They ramp up the number of massages he's getting every day, which kind of keep him calm.
18:22But it's literally six to eight hours a day he's on the table.
18:26I never encountered that before.
18:28Everybody gets, like, an hour, hour and a half, sometimes every day, but never six hours in a day.
18:36That's unusual.
18:40Separately, Anton and Anna begin doing experiments with LSD and heavy use of marijuana.
18:47I knew a little bit about the LSD drugs, only because I came in one day and Mark was really relaxed.
18:56And I was like, what's going on?
18:59And then Anton told me, we're doing a new treatment on him.
19:03It's to help relieve Mark's pain.
19:07Mark feels like the LSD would help him.
19:10He read it somewhere.
19:12So whatever Mark wanted, Anton did his best to get it for him.
19:19Everyone in the house sort of notes that the doctor is undergoing all these treatments,
19:24that he's becoming less and less engaged with people around him.
19:30Mark begins to fall into a period of great decline.
19:35As this is all going on, Anna and Anton are posting lovely pictures on Instagram,
19:44you know, showing them living a great life.
19:46But they were also at the same time making great efforts to hide all the cracks underneath the surface.
19:53I would ask Anton, what's going on with Mark?
19:57He wasn't chatty today.
19:59He was tired.
20:00Even the other therapists noticed, is everything all right?
20:04And Anton's like, yes, because of his condition.
20:07Some days he's tired.
20:09Sometimes he would forget who I was.
20:12And I'm like, oh, Mark, it's me, Val.
20:15I'm the massage therapist.
20:17And he's like, oh, well, I don't know you.
20:21And then he would just walk away.
20:22Dr. Swalish starts to distrust Anton and Anna and has asked them to leave the house again.
20:38They move into a $1,200 a night hotel room in Santa Monica, where they are staying on Dr. Swalish's dime.
20:47The last day that I was there, I was like, I don't see Mark in the house.
20:52They're like, he sometimes goes halfway under the bed.
20:56So when I went and checked, Mark, are you okay?
21:00And he didn't really respond.
21:02And then I could see his chest breathing.
21:04I was like, okay, he's breathing.
21:06He's okay.
21:08Memorial Day weekend 2018.
21:12Mark has grown increasingly paranoid and starts entering into a deeply manic, pointless life.
21:20Without Anna and Anton there, Mark quickly spirals.
21:24He's becoming increasingly incoherent.
21:27He's walking around the house, ranting and raving.
21:33He begins having conversations with seagulls that pass by his house.
21:40He's very much alone and fully in a state of psychosis.
21:44Mark sits down on the couch and eventually slumps forward and falls forward onto the coffee table.
21:58The massage therapists come in and find him there.
22:02And they see that he's turning a bit gray in color.
22:06One of them calls Anton and says, I think we have a problem here.
22:11LA County Fire Operator 79.
22:13Hi, I believe that my friend has died in our house.
22:19I'm not there at the location.
22:21What city?
22:21Malibu, California.
22:23All right.
22:23And do you know the cross street there at the corner?
22:25That's where it's going in.
22:25And Big Rock, yes, sir.
22:27And you'll probably be there before me.
22:29The front door is unlocked.
22:30Okay.
22:31I got units on the way there now, okay?
22:33Hello?
22:349437, 9437.
22:35Back in Fresno, I wonder all the time where they were.
22:46And I was assuming the Malibu mansion.
22:50But I started noticing little things that were changing at the studio.
22:55They told us, you know, you can't come in and out of the front door anymore.
22:59And you'd have to call one of their assistants.
23:03And then they would tell you the code.
23:05Code after code after code just to get into the studio, which I thought was really weird.
23:09They had hired an in-house assistant to be at the studio.
23:15And I felt like I was constantly always being looked at and looked after, not in a good way.
23:23At this point in time, yoga is my entire life.
23:26It's saved my life.
23:27It's made me a better person.
23:29I could not fathom losing that.
23:32And I was always so scared to get an email of being like, you know what?
23:37Your class sucks.
23:38We'll just get rid of you.
23:40So I called Anton directly.
23:43And I said, I've been here for a long time.
23:46And I've helped build this place.
23:48And I'm feeling a little bit disrespected because no one told me what was going on.
23:52No one talked to me.
23:53Anton's response was, you're nothing.
23:56You're just a yoga teacher.
23:58I am infinitely smarter and better than you.
24:01And you are showing yourself as a terrible teacher and a terrible person.
24:08I just couldn't believe it.
24:10And it scarred me.
24:12Just like a tattoo across my heart.
24:14I'll never forget it.
24:15I'll never forget it.
24:16Eight years on.
24:18It still affects me.
24:19Mark is found dead by a massage therapist who happens to be in the house at that time.
24:31Anna and Anton are not there when Mark dies.
24:34They are ensconced in a hotel in Santa Monica about 12 miles away.
24:41When police arrive, they don't know if his death is accidental or if there is some foul play.
24:46When I found out he died, my heart just sank.
24:53No one told me that his condition might be fatal.
24:57I was a little shocked because, like, you don't just pass away from early stages of dementia.
25:04So I'm just like, okay, something's up.
25:06Soon after Dr. Sawash passed away, Anna and Anton moved back into the house.
25:11And at first, they held a memorial service there for him.
25:15The memorial was really sweet.
25:18Anton and a few of his friends spoke.
25:21And we had roses.
25:23And then we just tossed the roses out on the sand.
25:27I asked Anton if any of Mark's family was there.
25:31He said, no, they don't want anything to do with Mark.
25:34So I just said, oh, okay.
25:36I'm Andrew Roach, and I'm a federal prosecutor with the United States Attorney's Office.
25:47How I became involved in this case is that we actually received a referral about this case from the victim's family.
25:54Following the events after the victim's death, they uncovered a series of suspicious financial transactions.
26:02Soon after Mark's death, his family comes in, and they begin the task of unwinding his affairs.
26:10They don't think he has any money.
26:12They think he's actually close to bankruptcy.
26:14To their surprise, they discover that he has accounts worth $60 million.
26:19The victim had a will, and the beneficiary's will was his family members.
26:23And, in fact, Johns Hopkins University.
26:25Now that Mark's mother and sister are bringing his affairs through the probate court, suddenly appear two creditors' claims from Anna and Anton.
26:34They claim that they're his late-life caregivers and that they were entitled to a third of his fortune.
26:42Which would be $20 million and his beach house.
26:44Immediately upon seeing these claims, Mark's family cry foul and file a civil suit against Anna and Anton claiming abuse.
26:55So, Mark's family hires an army of lawyers to very quickly discover not only that money had been missing,
27:02but that Mark had been kept under this regime of drug use and massage therapy to the point where he really wasn't in control of his life.
27:13Anton never did anything money-wise without the approval of Mark.
27:20Anna and Anton, through their lawyers, make an argument that Mark really wasn't as mentally ill as his family was arguing.
27:28They say that it really was when he drank that he would start to lose control,
27:34but that he really was able to make his own choices and that everything that they did was, you know, at his behest.
27:39Meanwhile, Anna and Anton begin a careful effort to try and maneuver the money that they think they were entitled to into their own possession.
27:50Banks are freezing accounts.
27:52They start opening up new accounts and going from branch to branch to try and wire money out of the hands of the investigators.
28:00Well, on the surface, many of the people who worked in the house were there to help Mark,
28:13but Anna and Anton really were using them to help with their own businesses and further their own careers.
28:19Then, after he dies, they continue using the money that they've taken to keep their lifestyle going.
28:26They bought high-end clothing, ate at the finest restaurants.
28:31They're attending the most luxurious events.
28:34Meanwhile, Anna's posting pictures of herself on her social media accounts.
28:38The outcome of the civil case was both defendants, Anna and Anton, they settled.
28:47Anton realized quickly that the victim died.
28:52They had consumed a large amount of drugs, which raises a lot of questions that he never had any good answers to.
28:58So they voluntarily agreed to move out of the Doctrine's house in Malibu and ultimately to relinquish all their claims.
29:07Once the civil case was closed, our actual investigation really began.
29:12We were able to uncover things that attorneys in the private case were not.
29:20And many of those things were extremely troubling.
29:23Anton facilitated taking the victim and getting a ketamine injection.
29:32When you have a ketamine injection, it tells you not to make any business decisions for a full day afterwards
29:39because it could impair your judgment.
29:42And then, I believe that day, the victim signed a document to cash in a life insurance policy.
29:50Of course, Anton facilitated that whole thing, and that $400,000 or so was spent in a matter of months.
29:57In the aftermath of the civil scene, Anna and Anton relocate.
30:02They decide to move to Mexico, to Tulum.
30:05There's no doubt in my mind that Anna and Anton continue to live off the money that they had taken from the victim in this case.
30:13But in the end, they finally end their relationship.
30:16They'd been together for nearly a decade, but they decided to part ways.
30:20Anton returns to the U.S.
30:21He goes back to Fresno to run his window-washing business.
30:25But Anna remains in Mexico, where she continues to live it up
30:28and starts to rebrand herself as Bunny Marley, a Spanish-speaking assassin.
30:35She produces a rap video.
30:36Trap like a butterfly caught up in the lies
30:43I'll just run a month to size up from under your disguise
30:47And she's doing weird f***ing s***
30:50Like, she's posting these videos, doing these weird little skits
30:57Just acting like a teenager, almost
31:00Like, I thought she's on drugs
31:04During the course of the investigation, we also discovered one of the most troubling aspects of the victim's death
31:14All along, Anna and Anton had been watching through the security cameras from their hotel room in Santa Monica
31:22They had set up the cameras themselves months earlier
31:25In the preceding weeks, Anton had supplied the doctor with LSD on multiple occasions
31:31It's akin to sort of shaking up a powder keg and then placing it down
31:36And then obviously, you know, it could explode
31:39At this final moment for Dr. Sawish, they were able to watch everything from 12 miles away
31:45I was shocked
31:48I kind of got a little sick to my stomach
31:50Just the thought that somebody's capable of just watching another person just die
31:54They didn't do a thing
31:57And they waited to hear from one of the massage therapists in the house
32:01That he'd actually died before they decided to call 911 at all
32:04In all, $2.7 million was siphoned out of Mark's accounts
32:14Once they were indicted, and they were indicted on a variety of charges
32:18Including conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud
32:21Wire fraud, mail fraud, and then money laundering accounts
32:25Then arrest warrants were issued for their arrest
32:28Anton was arrested in Fresno, in his hometown
32:32Anna was picked up at the airport in Houston
32:35Where she was flying back from Mexico, where she now lived
32:38Wild story out of Malibu
32:43A hairstylist and a yoga instructor are being accused of drugging an ailing eye surgeon
32:50With the goal of taking his beachfront home and stealing millions
32:54This sounds like it's out of a movie, Treasle
32:56Who is this surgeon?
32:58Okay, first of all, I am so upset that I am just learning about this case
33:01It is one of the wildest we've ever covered
33:04I have an affinity for true crime
33:06And I saw a video
33:10And it had Anna's face on it
33:11And I was like, wait, what?
33:14I know her
33:15I was just blown away
33:17When they told me that he was arrested
33:19And that he's in jail
33:21My initial thought was, dang
33:23Could Anna have really gone through
33:26Such trouble to
33:28To be famous
33:30At any price
33:31I started to connect the dots a lot
33:34Particularly the Malibu mansion that they had mentioned
33:37That is our big perk
33:38Wasn't theirs
33:40All this money that they were willing to spend on us
33:43To show us what really living a yogi's life is in Malibu
33:49Was stolen money
33:51I didn't realize at the time how much control they had over me
33:56But towards the end it definitely started to feel like
34:00I was just a prop
34:01In whatever game they were playing
34:05So now Anna and Anton are facing criminal charges
34:10This is not just allegations from Dr. Sosh's family anymore
34:13This is from U.S. Attorney's Office in Los Angeles
34:16Who are accusing them of committing bank fraud and identity theft
34:21Anna was the first to cooperate with the feds
34:24Within months of their arrest
34:25She decided to plead guilty to the charges against her
34:30In return for providing testimony against Anton
34:33Anton on his Instagram page wrote
34:35I'm innocent
34:36Don't believe what the media is saying about me
34:39And I remember seeing the GoFundMe for his attorney fees
34:43I'm like, are you kidding me?
34:45I'm like, dude
34:46It's like, who's going to contribute to that?
34:48Wow
34:48You know, like he's still trying to pretend
34:51Like just living a lie
34:53Now faced with having Anna testify against him
34:58Anton, within a month, agreed to plead guilty as well
35:01Because he didn't really have much leg to stand on anymore
35:05And so he admitted to doing many of the things
35:09That we allege that he had done
35:11So he admitted that he had transferred that money
35:13Before the victim's death
35:14He admitted that he was lying
35:16When he came up with the idea that he was promised that
35:19One of the most troubling aspects of this entire fraud was
35:24Once Anton and Anna got involved in the victim's life
35:30They really sort of drove a wedge
35:32Between the victim and everyone else he knew his entire life
35:36So there were rumors that Dr. Solish was having a sexual relationship
35:45With both Anna and Anton
35:46They all seem like best buddies
35:50And I was like, is this a polyamorous thing?
35:54And then I was like, no, it's not
35:56Knowing Anton, it doesn't seem unlikely
35:59That it could have been maybe like a threesome
36:01Or maybe just, you know, between Anna and Dr. Bill
36:05A part of me thinks that there was
36:08There was some people that were saying that the three of them
36:14Actually had also an intimate relationship as well
36:16I can't speak to that
36:19Sometimes there's rumors
36:21Going around about all sorts of things
36:23And I look at the facts
36:25And the evidence
36:26And that's where it goes
36:29Ironically, as soon as we heard that she was arrested
36:35And like, we knew it's like, okay, she's going to get a shorter sentence
36:39For one, because everything is under his name
36:42And number two is that she's probably going to testify against him
36:47And put everything on him
36:49And like, I guess she should have got an Oscar for that
36:52So now it's almost two years after their arrest
37:09And Anton appears in court in Los Angeles to face sentencing
37:14He comes in, he's still got his long hair, his long beard
37:18But he's dressed in a prison jumpsuit
37:20I was there
37:22And Anton had a lot of supporters in the courtroom
37:27His family members
37:28A lot of old friends came from Fresno
37:30But on the other side of the room
37:31Were all the lawyers that Mark Saush's family had hired
37:35To work on this case
37:37And they were pretty angry about this
37:39A defendant has a constitutional right
37:43To do what's called an allocution
37:45Which is where they personally address the judge
37:48The judge who will then impose the sentence
37:51You know, it is sort of the last opportunity
37:53And maybe the only opportunity a criminal defendant has
37:56To look a judge in the eyes and say
37:58Here's my side of the story
37:59And he read a letter that said
38:03We were like brothers
38:05Feel so ashamed to be standing here
38:08And admitting that I wronged you, brother
38:10For even a second losing sight of the true nature of what we had
38:14I will always have peace knowing that I saw light and fire in your eyes
38:19I am sorry for my crimes
38:21My sincerest apologies to the Saush family
38:25I love you, Mark
38:26I will never forget you
38:28I wish we could have had more time together
38:30Despite his seeming earnestness
38:34The whole presentation just seemed entirely self-serving
38:38When I heard about his apology letter
38:42I was just like, are you kidding me?
38:45I thought it was the most ridiculous and genuine thing ever
38:48I mean, it was just like
38:50It was like a soap opera
38:51The judge was really not amused
38:55At what Anton had to say
38:58And delivered a sentence that was far harsher than what even prosecutors were asking for
39:02It was a sentence of 188 months
39:04Which is nearly 16 years in prison
39:06It found what Anton did extremely troubling
39:11That these crimes will be caught
39:13And they will be punished severely
39:15For her part, Anna was sentenced to seven and a half years in prison
39:19So Anna was given credit
39:21Because she cooperated with authorities
39:23And helped them, you know, seal the case
39:26She was also kind of believed to be a lesser actor
39:31In the financial fraud that Anton had led the way
39:40One question that comes to mind is really who is the mastermind here
39:44I mean, the court case played out that it was Anton
39:47That he was the one who helped orchestrate the financial fraud
39:52But there's some people who might argue that maybe it was Anna
39:56Who was pulling the strings behind the scenes all along
39:59And that she had Anton set it up in such a way
40:02That made him more culpable legally
40:06A huge part of me feels like
40:08That Anna was manipulating, coercing Anton into doing things
40:12And Anton, with his charisma, people just gravitated towards him
40:16And so she was, you know, like the puppet master
40:19She had this way of convincing people
40:22And coercing them to do whatever she wanted
40:27She had expected her boyfriends in the past to, like, pay for everything
40:30And pay her bills, pay her rent, pay this, pay that
40:33You know, it was very smart of her
40:34Because everything was put under Anton's name
40:37And that way, if anything went wrong, she could just wipe her hands clean
40:41There was a lot of, like, emotional manipulation
40:44She could discard someone so easily and quickly
40:49And then move on, like nothing
40:51Anna was the perfect chameleon
40:56She molded to whoever she needed to be
41:01With all the things that I've learned about Anna
41:04I think she does possess a lot of mental illness traits
41:08Like sociopathy and narcissism
41:11She really wanted to be famous
41:12And now she is known now for this
41:15Giving somebody drugs to incapacitate them
41:20You do that because you've thought of it
41:22Like it's premeditated 100%
41:24And that sort of behavior is comparable to behavior that I saw personally at the yoga studio
41:34It feels nice to be told you're amazing every day
41:36That you're my best friend
41:38That I really care about you
41:39And, you know, it feels good to receive these things
41:42But it's all a lie
41:44It's all a manipulative tactic
41:47When they met this man
41:50They 100% saw their opportunity
41:53To take advantage
41:55In every way possible
41:58Yes, it was a crime of entitlement
42:01I've got bad habits
42:18Yes, I do
42:19We're being told we need more money
42:24That's when everything hit the fan
42:27It's hard to believe this trusted leader could be stealing
42:32How did she cover it up?
42:33Only God knows
42:36The fact that she's a nun shouldn't excuse what she did
