Anne Hathaway’s Ex Faces Jail Time
Anne Hathaway’s Ex Faces Jail Time
As a follow-up to the story on Anne Hathaway dumping her boyfriend Raffaello Follieri, it seems he could be in some pretty hot water.
According to reports, Follieri has been arrested for fraud, money laundering, and conspiracy to commit wire fraud. And if he’s convicted, Raffaello could be going to the joint for a very long time.
He’s been accused of lying to investors, claiming to be the CFO of the Vatican, and a flurry of other shady business tactics, all culminating in what appears to be the Italian businessman’s demise.
Thankfully, Miss Hathaway has managed to stay out of it all, although the complaint mentions that Follieri used the swindled funds to pay for a trip to the Dominican Republic with his ‘then girlfriend,’ as well as a $37,000-a-month apartment for himself and his ‘then girlfriend.’
In total, Raffaello faces six counts of wire fraud (20 yrs each), five counts of money laundering (20 yrs each) and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud (5 yrs), adding up to life in jail if he’s convicted.
Tim Russert dead at 58
Tim Russert, the chief political reporter for NBC and host of the long-running Meet The Press, died of a heart attack this afternoon. Russert was recording voiceovers for Meet The Press and collapsed.
This is obviously sad and odd because he was young, but it’s also crazy because we’re in the middle of an election year, and Russert was one of the faces of NBC and MSNBC when it comes to politics. He was an unabashed political junkie and was front and center in this year’s election, being involved in all of the primary coverage and even participated in debates along with colleague Brian Williams.
Russert worked in for Democratic Senator Daniel Moynihan’s campaign in the mid 70s and in the early 80s worked on Mario Cuomo’s campaign for Governor of New York. He joined NBC in 1984 and became moderator of Meet The Press in 1991. He also wrote two books.
