The series of events that led up to the arrest of Anne Hathaway's con-ex Raffaello Follieri by the FBI has the NY Daily News wondering—as voiced by an unidentified, freeform-hypothesizing "pal"—if perhaps the Get Smart star had colluded with the Feds in exchange for a "get out of jail while we book your crooked boyfriend for scamming God out of his savings"-card. They report:

A pal of jailed wheeler-dealer Raffaello Follieri suspects the starlet spoke with the FBI shortly before they arrested her ex for an alleged $6 million con job.

"It makes sense," the friend said. "She's referred to as his former girlfriend in the indictment even though her spokesman never confirmed they broke up."

"I think that in return for her cooperation, the feds held off on arresting Follieri until she was out of the country," the friend said.

It's a plausible theory, and one lent all the more credence when you consider that Follieri's single post-incarceration phone call went directly through to Hathaway's voice mail, where he was informed by a robotic Verizon operator, "The user you are trying to reach is currently unavailable. If you are Steve Carell, press one and she'll get back to you in a few, cutiepie. If you are her PR-poison ex-boyfriend, please hang up and do not try your call again."
