She has used her mix of charm and aggression to repeatedly brush off the allegations that, under the name Amie Thompson, she pleaded guilty to embezzling $65,000 from a Texas photographer in 1996.

 

After several interviews with the Weekly, during which Thompson repeatedly denied it, the Weekly determined that Thompson's denials are untrue. Dawna is correct.

 

At the Travis County, Texas, probation office, spokesman Donald Clark confirmed that a blond, green-eyed white woman with the same name, birthdate and Social Security number as Thompson pleaded guilty to the crime, and was on probation until April 2008. Neil Kucera, her attorney, shown a photo of Thompson, verified positively that she was his client in the mid-'90s embezzling case.

 

Thompson violated her probation in 2004 and a warrant was issued for her arrest. But Kucera says prosecutors "got tired of messing with her, and discharged her in a dissatisfactory manner. In other words, they were saying, 'We're so tired of messing with you, we don't even want to bother putting you in prison.' "

 

Yet here she is, this dashing self-described survivor of the dot-com bubble — she claims she sold her company to Sony for millions — holed up in a Venice Beach one-bedroom with a couple yappy dogs and the 24/7 cackle of an LAPD scanner.
