Voice-over for the reality-TV show, American Greed:
"[Raffaello] Follieri (Italian former boyfriend of Ann Hathaway) was
practically out of money and the _jig_ was almost up."
Then, somehow, by merely *promising* to give the Clinton Foundation
$50,000,000, he got an investment firm to give *him* $100,000,000, with
which he partied his ass off.
"For Mr. Follieri, it looks like the _jig_ is finally up."
But he confidenced a hedge fund into paying off his millions of dollars in
debts.
And he was still in his twenties. He was only 32, when he got out of a Club
Fed in '14.
