The Smoking Gun website reports that Vogue Editor Anna Wintour owes the NY State's Compensation Board close to $140,000 for not providing insurance coverage, as required by law, to a personal employee (of hers, not Conde Nast) who suffered an injury in December of 1997.

Our preliminary research reveals this was the same infamous month that animal rights activists of PETA painted blood all over the sidewalk and door to her Manhattan home. We all know bloodstains are a bitch to remove and how more than a back or two has been thrown out in the cleaning process. Mop up your own conclusions.
