On September 4, our fearless leader here at Trend Hunter, Jeremy Gutsche, wrote an article about Anne Hathaway’s con-man ex-beau, Raffaello Follieri. We’ve learned today that Hathaway’s ex "sooo good looking" beau, pleaded guilty to charges of fraud.
According to the New York Post, "Raffaello Follieri agreed not to appeal any sentence of up to five years and three months in prison for his plea to wire fraud, money laundering and conspiracy. Sentencing was set for Oct. 3."
Even though Hathaway used to serve on the Follieri Foundation’s board, she is not being investigated and is not being connected to Follieri’s follies—thank goodness. On a personal note, I hope Follieri gets sentenced long enough so he’ll think long and hard before ever trying swindle anyone ever again.
