Houston attorney Michael G. Busby Jr. paid a Houston “fortune teller” $30 for a tarot card reading on Dec. 4 and $500 for a “ritual to reunite husband and wife.” He also alleges in a lawsuit filed on Dec. 16 that he gave her $2,700 in cash in a box on Dec. 6 so she could “cleanse” it and return it to him four hours later, but she has failed to return the money.

In fact, Busby, whose firm does bankruptcy and family law, alleges in the petition that Melena Thorn, by and through her in-laws Sonny and Christine Nicholas, has “stated no monies were ever placed in said box.”
