The so-called "Hipster Grifter" is coming back to Utah.

During an appearance in a Philadelphia court on Friday, Kari Ferrell waived her extradition to Utah where she faces a list of charges ranging from theft and forgery and $60,000 worth of warrants. She has 30 days to be extradited by Salt Lake police, who said they will send an officer to get her.

Ferrell, 22, gained Internet notoriety after a story in the New York Observer detailed a series of alleged scams among Brooklyn's hipster scene. Ferrell was on the Salt Lake City Police Department's Most Wanted list for a series of alleged cons here.
