The Roblox widow says a former companion took $6 million from her after her husband’s death.

 She also described a violent episode in her family’s past: Her father-in-law killed his wife, and she says he later threatened to kill her. The account appears in a transcript filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, according to the material provided.

Roblox Widow Allegations against a former companion

Marianne Flippo, 49, accuses Greggory Starr, 38, of draining her bank accounts after the death of her husband, who was the inventor of Roblox. 

Starr is described in the account as a former companion and male escort. The material does not specify how the alleged transfers occurred, when they took place or whether Starr has responded to the accusation. The $6 million figure is Flippo’s claim, not an established loss.

Flippo bought a landmarked Beaux-Arts house in Manhattan’s Kips Bay neighborhood for $15.9 million on April 30, according to the account. She purchased the house for her and Starr to live in, just months before she accused him of the theft.

Flippo’s husband, Chad died by suicide in 2024. He was a wealthy Roblox developer. 

What is Roblox?

Flippo’s husband died by suicide in 2024. He was  a wealthy Roblox programmer. 

Roblox is an online gaming platform. It is also a game creation system. There are millions of 3D games and experiences  users can create and play. According to  Reddit Roblox is not a single game, but a large virtual universe filled with diverse content. [1, 2]

Roblox Widow Has a Violent Family History

Flippo discussed her father-in-law during a July 7 confrontation involving Starr and her attorney, Larry Hutcher, according to the account of an audio transcript filed in court. The year of that meeting is not provided.

“My deceased husband, his father, who’s a pastor of a church … he was a murderer,” Flippo told Hutcher, according to the transcript quoted in the supplied material.

Her father-in-law, James Michael Flippo, killed his wife, Cheryl, at a remote West Virginia state-park cabin in 1996, the account says. It describes the killing as a bludgeoning but does not provide court records, a conviction date or details of the criminal case. Marianne Flippo also said he had threatened to kill her.

“I slept in the same house with him,” she said, according to the quoted transcript. “He’d already murdered his wife. I had to sleep under the same roof with him and he had already threatened to murder me … I’m not afraid.”
