Anne Hathaway’s Ex-Boyfriend Arrested for All Sorts of Fun Things

OMG we’ve actually found something interesting about Anne Hathaway! Unfortunately, she already dumped him …

Anne’s ex-boyfriend, Raffaello Follieri, has been arrested on wire fraud conspiracy and money laundering charges.

He’s due in Manhattan federal court on Tuesday. Yes, federal. This is some hardcore shit, people.

He is accused of falsely telling an investor that he had been appointed as the chief financial officer of the Vatican.

Authorities say he claimed that, as a result of that connection, he and others could obtain properties of the Catholic church in the United States at a substantial discount to fair market value.

Um … in general, if someone tells you he’s the chief financial officer of the Vatican, and you believe him, you kind of deserve to have your money swindled, don’t you? Survival of the fittest, people.

  • Wow, she timed that break up thing really well. Didn’t she?
    I hope she never loaned him any money. I know she annoys you Beet, but I actually kind of like the fact that she’s boring. She might even be sane and isn’t that refreshing?

  • “He is accused of falsely telling an investor that he had been appointed as the chief financial officer of the Vatican.”

    All I can do is read that sentence over and over again and watch flies enter and leave the gaping cavern that is my mouth. What a shitbag toolbox. Oh. My. GOD!

    If you’re gonna try to swindle anyone, though, you might as well try and rip off the Pope. Way to pick ’em, dude with Ninja Turtle name!
