The Case Against Raffaello Follieri
The Smoking Gun has the entire criminal complaint against Anne Hathaway's ex-boyfriend Raffaello Follieri, the hustling con artist charged with fraud and money laundering earlier today. Much of the information came out in previous stories and investigations, but it's still pretty stunning to see the extent of the guy's fraud laid out all at once. Payoffs, luxury, deception, and a crooked reporter—all in there. And you can understand why Hathaway stayed with him so long; if your boyfriend had an unlimited pot of (other people's) money to fly you around the world with, you'd like him too:
After Follieri defrauded investors out of millions, what did he do with the money?
Private doctors! $30,000 housecalls! Vacations are nice, too.
How did he pull it off? Payoffs, and a little help from a crooked reporter.
