Adva Lavie has gone by many names, including Mia Ventura, Shoshana, and Shana. But as of last week, she has one very specific address: a Los Angeles County jail cell, where she is being held without bail while prosecutors add to a theft case that keeps growing more and more. 

The 29-year-old OnlyFans model and influencer was already awaiting trial on six felony counts in Los Angeles County when Beverly Hills police arrested her again, this time on a Riverside County warrant tied to an alleged theft during the 2025 Coachella Music Festival. According to court records, a man had invited Lavie to stay at his Airbnb to attend the festival together. He later told investigators that she walked off with an $8,600 Rolex, a $700 pair of Louis Vuitton sunglasses, and an $1,800 Louis Vuitton cardholder, and surveillance footage reportedly backs up his timeline. One of the men she stayed with at that rental, identified only as Oscar, told KTLA he never suspected her, even after she’d asked his group to cover her festival admission and they’d said no. “Pretty much everywhere that she went, she was looking for that opportunity to try to steal from people,” he said.

According to prosecutors, the Coachella allegation isn’t an isolated incident. It’s simply the latest data point in a pattern going back to at least 2023. Lavie’s six existing felony charges accuse her of using dating apps and “Sugar Daddy” websites to cultivate relationships with wealthy men, posing as a girlfriend or travel companion to get inside their homes in Westlake Village, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and Beverly Hills, then walking out with arms full of cash, gold, credit cards, and designer goods. She’s pleaded not guilty across the board. What complicated her bail status even further is that when she was picked up by the Beverly Hills police, she wasn’t wearing the court-ordered ankle monitor she’d been required to keep on her since her release, which is its own misdemeanor charge for violating a court order. A judge responded by pulling bail entirely and ordering her held while her case moves forward. 

But there’s even more to the story. Her ffiancé. Stephen Cloobeck, is a 64-year-old real estate billionaire who was arrested in May and charged with three felony counts of witness tampering. He is accused of trying to pressure alleged victims in Lavie’s case into backing down. He was also charged with a misdemeanor for harassing an alleged victim’s attorney. The people he is accused of pressuring are the same people accusing his fiancée of robbing them. He’s out on $300,000 bond and due in court August 7. Lavie’s defense attorney has signaled they may pursue a mental health diversion program, though nothing has been filed yet. If convicted on the LA County charges alone, Lavie is facing nearly 12 years in state prison, and that’s without the additional Riverside County charges. 

There’s something at the heart of this case that needs to be addressed. Because this story is really about how modern trust is built and exploited. Dating apps, sugar-dating sites, and public platforms like OnlyFans all run on the same currency: a curated version of intimacy, offered to strangers and designed to feel personal fast. That’s not inherently a bad thing. It’s how most digital relationships form now, romantic or otherwise. But it’s also, per these allegations, a remarkably efficient burglary tool, because the entire model depends on skipping the slow trust-building that used to protect people from letting strangers into their homes. Oscar explained, “Somebody that you bring into your circle… you wouldn’t suspect that something like this would happen.” That’s not naivety. It’s just how online intimacy works. But now people are weaponizing the shortcut.
