This freshman at NYU was purportedly obtaining a degree in grand theft. A complaint claims that a first-year political science major stole valuables worth around $51,000 from her roommate, including high-end brands like Gucci, Chanel, and Bvlgari, and sold them online for a fast profit.
NYU Freshman Sues Roommate:
Claiming that her roommate had stolen about $50,000 worth of her “jewelry and high-end designer clothing,” including pieces from Chanel, Celine, Gucci, and Christian Louboutin, a New York University (NYU) student filed a lawsuit against the other.
According to the New York Supreme Court case acquired by Channel, Aurora Agapov, 19, alleges that her roommate, Kaitlyn Fung, “concocted a scheme” in early 2024 to sell her expensive items on the internet marketplace, The RealReal. According to the court petition filed on May 31, Fung started stealing and selling Agapov’s belongings during the 2023–24 academic year when the two lived together in an NYU dorm.
According to the lawsuit, Agapov discovered some of her belongings were gone on May 1. Then, according to the court complaint, Agapov found a receipt in a purse addressed to Fung from The RealReal, which had a long list of her belongings.
Agapov, a London-born art major, told the New York Post, “My heart dropped.” Channel has inquired further with Agapov’s attorney.
The complaint claims that Fung opened a RealReal account in early 2024 and consigned Agapov’s things to the online marketplace until the end of April. The court complaint says that when Agapov approached Fung on May 1, Fung acknowledged taking the plentiful goods and selling them on The RealReal. According to New York court records, Fung does not currently have a counsel.
What was Allegedly taken by Kaitlyn Fung?
The lawsuit claims that Fung visited Agapov’s The RealReal account at her request and displayed the things that were now for sale, including:
- The 18K ruby ring by Solange Azagury is valued at $23,765.
- Celine Nanno Tote ($3,300 in value)
- Chanel handbag (around $4,000 in value)
According to the lawsuit, the RealReal app also included things previously sold from Fung’s account, such as a Bvlgari necklace for $2,485 and a Chanel Strauss bracelet for $175. According to Agapov’s lawsuit, both items were sold for “substantially less than their true market value,” with the necklace appraised at $13,000 and the bracelet valued at $2,000, respectively.
According to the court document, a few things, including a Gucci purse, a Celine purse, and Christian Louboutin shoes, were returned to Fung using The RealReal app. According to the New York Post, Agapov stated, “My mother gifted me those things.” “I take great pride in them.”
Officers Detained Kaitlyn Fung:
Agapov reported Fung the following day, on May 2, and the complaint states that Fung was taken into custody by New York City Police. The court document said that Agapov was informed by a New York staff member at The RealReal shop that Fung’s mother had given instructions to transfer the unsold products to her house in New Jersey when she visited there to inform them about the issue.
An email from RealReal’s representative to Channel on Monday stated that the online marketplace is “working with local authorities on this matter and has released all requested information.”
The representative stated, “All consignors must sign our Consignment-Sales Agreement before consigning.” “The consignor attests that they are authorized to sell the things and that they are not stolen by signing this agreement. We move quickly to remove stuff from the site and begin an inquiry if we learn of any potential theft. We also assist law enforcement and other legal authorities and recommend that the purported victim file a police complaint.
According to the organization, The RealReal works directly with law authorities on any queries regarding stolen or illegally obtained items. According to the spokesman, the marketplace uploads valuable things to Leads Online; a database law enforcement agencies may access and utilize to trace stolen goods.
Aurora Agapov Demands:
According to the lawsuit, Agapov has not received any of her unsold merchandise as of May 31. Agapov wants Fung to pay him at least $51,000 in damages and refund the unsold merchandise. On June 6, Fung and her father received a subpoena, according to court documents.
