In the mid-1990s, Damji made a name for herself first as a Manhattan art dealer and then as a Rikers Island inmate, accused of a convoluted cavalcade of crimes.

[edit] References?

Since this article deals with fairly sensitive matters, I think that all the claims should be very carefully sourced. In particular, the bit about her gaining attention by revealing the details of "affairs" with some prominent persons is not something that I could verify upon at least a cursory web search and so should be sourced clearly if to be included here.--Jimbo Wales 12:10, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
