EXCLUSIVE An entrepreneur known as the 'dropshipping queen', who claimed to have built a seven-figure empire in e-commerce, has seen her business collapse after allegedly 'ghosting' clients and deleting all traces of her social media. Emma Cunningham, from Melbourne, promised to teach customers how to follow in her footsteps by generating 'passive income' through selling products without ever seeing the inventory - a method known as dropshipping. She previously revealed to the Daily Mail that she was drawn to e-commerce at age 24 after becoming tired of 'climbing the corporate ladder' and working at Centrelink. But in August, the Mail's Carina Stathis spoke to several unsatisfied clients who had paid up to $10,000 for one of Cunningham's three-month courses - or 'challenges', as she calls them - but didn't make the money promised. They also didn't receive any refunds. Read the full Mail+ story and Cunningham's full statement in the link below 👇

During the raucous dance party at the normally strict Loreto Kirribilli private college, toilets were broken, a locker was used to block access to the bathroom, and senior staff were filmed and ridiculed as they tried in vain to restore order.
