In August 2016, Olga Tsvyk, a beauty stylist in Queens, New York, became gravely ill and lost consciousness after her client, Viktoria Nasyrova, came to her home and gave her a piece of poisoned cheesecake. The two women happened to look very similar to each other. Viktoria Nasyrova then stole Olga Tsvyk's passport and work permit in a bizarre identity-theft plot. Olga Tsvyk survives the poisoning attempt. In the end, Viktoria Nasyrova was arrested and convicted of attempting to kill her "look-alike" friend. She was sentenced to 21 years in prison.
