Follieri, who yesterday was arrested on charges of wire fraud conspiracy and money laundering, is accused by federal prosecutors of bilking investors out of as much as $6 million, which the dirtbag then used to finance his lavish lifestyle.
"He is a con man, and he was able to defraud a lot of people out of a lot of money over a long period of time," said Prosecutor Reed Michael Brodsky. One specific allegation has Follieri claiming Vatican connections as a way of gaining advantage in purchasing church-owned property.
Prosecutors asked the judge to deny Follieri bail on the grounds that he was a flight risk, but bail was ultimately set at $21 million, and Follieri was ordered to home detention. It was also revealed that Follieri tested positive for opiates after his arrest.
The sniveling Follieri reportedly suffered an "attack" shortly after his court appearance and had to be taken to the hospital. It's unlikely that the attack was conscience-related.
Anne Hathaway may have bailed on this scumbag at the last second, but you mean to tell me she partook of his lavish, thieving lifestyle with him and had no clue the whole time what a crook he was? Yeah...pull the other one.
