Con-man and former doer of Anne Hathaway, Raffaello Follieri pleaded guilty today to charges of wire fraud, money laundering and conspiracy. He’s staring at five years in prison and possible deportation. E! Online reports:
“I did not have investor authorization to use the money that way,” the 30-year-old Follieri stated after pleading guilty to all 14 counts stemming from his June 24 bust. “I knew what I did was wrong.”
Follieri has been negotiating with prosecutors to reach a deal on a litany of charges. Authorities said the Italian import lied about Vatican ties in order to buy church properties well below their going rate only to flip them at a fast profit as well as diverting up to $6 million from investors to finance his–and an unknowing Hathaway’s–high-rollin’ lifestyle.
All told, he pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy, eight counts of wire fraud and five counts of money laundering. As part of his plea, he also agreed to pay back $2 million.
Anne Hathaway still asserts she had no idea about Raffaello’s shady dealings. Apparently, he tricked her to believing everyone that works in real estate owns ceremonial priest garbs and straps uncirculated bills to their inner thighs. Okay, sure. In the meantime, I wonder what else he conned her into. Wait, are you thinking what I’m thinking? Twister! Anal?! Jesus, man, I totally wasn’t thinking that – until now. Can I change my answer?

Anne, I hope you have folks close to you during these troubled times. Worry not, for you are a jewel that will find another finger to be worn on. Try not to fret too long on Raffaello, he’s not worth the thought.

#1-5 Thanks for that Shawna.
Gals – look out for guys like this. You’re in jeans. He’s dressed for a visit with the Pope.
….something’s a little fishy here…
But Anne looks like the type of gal who was so busy with her piano lessons – she didn’t notice the guy was a bit shifty.

Anne, I feel so sorry for you. Now you’ll have to hold your nose and suck – and swallow – another rich guy, while hiding your girlfriend in the closet. You poor thing.
FRIST!!! | September 10, 2008 at 6:51 pm
You never plead guilty, dumbass…insanity maybe..

Maybe you’ve already covered this, but, just in case… Are we totally sure that Follieri is not Zach Braff? Have they ever been seen in the same place?

OMG does Anne have a mouth prime for dick sucking or what? I’d hit it until my pecker pleaded for mercy.

Fucking joker bitch got off scott free and turned state’s evidence on this guy.
She broke up with him hours before the Feds closed in.
After she got to enjoy the loot of course.
Whore!

RockLobster | September 10, 2008 at 11:02 pm
Does that not look like Zach Braff to anyone else?

HE KNEW HE WAS WRONG………………………………….who cares(he thought)?
There was a little “problem” though!!

Raffaello, you were amazing last night. I love the way you ran your fingers through my quivering body and how the water was so deliciously warm against our skin. Your dark hair and dark eyes are all I can think about till the moment you left this morning. I simply cannot wait to have you in our little paradise once again.

Please do not post about these two people anymore. They are not interesting. Even if one or both of them is in a bikini, I urge you to resist posting.

#11 – Was that like on your Word of the Day calendar or something?
#15 – It was more like a week. But hey! You stick by YOUR man when he’s looking at federal crimes worth 200 years and show us how it’s done.

Why is she with Zach Braff?
Dancer | September 11, 2008 at 12:44 pm
Wait… he cheated GOD??? That is so awesome.
I love this man. He’s single now right?
Bob Kelso | September 11, 2008 at 1:24 pm
Every time I see this douche bag, I think it’s Zack Braff!
Rick | September 11, 2008 at 5:15 pm
Ok, Matt. Tell me exactly what you knew about Obama before the campaign. Tell me just a little bit about what his background was before he was a Senator. Tell me exactly what a Senator does aside from voting… He has never led anything… but Palin has.
Please stick to acting. Please don’t make it so when I watch your Bourne movies I have to think about you being completely-politically retarded. Just because you can get in front of a mic, it doesn’t make you an expert on ANYTHING. PLEASE STFU.
I love a mad Republican | September 11, 2008 at 9:27 pm
Thank you Matt.

Ever since the first photo I’ve seen of this guy, he looks like dirty douchewater in an Italian package. He still does.
mac-attack | September 15, 2008 at 9:50 am

She has to know something else, 4 years living with him was too much to know all the scam – she should be indicted too – I have no sympathy for this woman, she lived loose and large until no more – heartless!!!
