Kacy Duke and Anna Sorokin’s friendship

Kacy was heartbroken when Anna duped her as well. She had been a dear friend to Anna, bailing her out during her time of need. After finding Kacy on her Instagram, Anna attended her workshop and bought a $4500 training package. They became fast friends and went on vacations together. Anna’s credit cards would magically stop working during those trips.
