Yup, that's as much as I confirmed myself, if you take a look at my other comment in the thread. It seems like the fraudster used the name and address of his gf as the shipping info.

Ohhh, that Anna Delvey! I remember her from this long form article, well worth anyone's time: https://www.thecut.com/2018/05/how-anna-delvey-tricked-new-y...
