This is just the marriage/grifter plot of Scorsese's Casino, right? Tell me this isn't some adaptive creative writing piece that has just repacked the movie into a Reddit thread.

The story was shared to Reddit's r/ProRevenge subreddit by Reddit user u/OfPearlsandSwine, who shared their story to the popular sub in a thread titled "Topsy Turvy." The thread, which earned nearly 3k upvotes, makes for an entertaining read but drew a lot of criticism from suspicious commenters.

"I've never heard about a debt being shared in a divorce before; that's a real neat bit of revenge there," said user ProjectNature-Kurisu, who pointed out a key (potential) flaw in a key part of the story.
