Anne Hathaway’s Boyfriend Uses Catholic Church in Scam
Tags: Anne Hathaway, raffaello follieri, scam
It looks like Anne Hathaway pulled out of the relationship just in time, because things just went from bad to oh-shit-I’m-screwed for her ex-boyfriend Raffaello Follieri. The 29-year old Italian businessman is staring down 20 years in prison for posing as an agent of the Vatican in order to scam investors out millions of dollars. The 18-page indictment charges
Follieri boasted of meeting Pope Benedict and of being tapped as the Vatican’s number one man on U.S. real estate deals. He used investors’ money to hire a pair of monsignors… to [dress as] senior clergyman “to create the false impression that Follieri had close ties to the Vatican.”
Prosecutors say Follieri used the loot to live the high life with Hathaway. His luxury expenses included a $37,000-a-month apartment, tailor-made Italian suits and a $30,000 house call from his physician, who had to be flown in to London.
That’s why you never do business with Italians. It’s always “Some day — and that day may never come — I’ll call upon you to do a service for me” this and “You nothing but a-skin and bones-a! How come-a you no eat-a the canoli? Mama mia!” that. Unless you’re in the market for a couple of reams of chest hair or pizza and a hair cut, you’re better off just avoiding them altogether. Fortunately, you can usually smell them coming a mile away, so keeping your distance isn’t too hard.

Sorry Duuude, but as much as I respect the WWTDD guy, his joke is not as nearly as funny as this one.

Please, Duuude — my post was WAAAAY more predjudiced than his. He didn’t even get in a good Godfather or barbersop joke. It’s like he wasn’t even trying. He gets points for the Speedo and gold chains, though.
P.S. And so did the Superficial guy!

I guess something about lame ethnic stereotypes makes all jokes sound the same.
