OMG we've actually found something interesting about Anne Hathaway! Unfortunately, she already dumped him ...
Anne's ex-boyfriend, Raffaello Follieri, has been arrested on wire fraud conspiracy and money laundering charges.
He's due in Manhattan federal court on Tuesday. Yes, federal. This is some hardcore stuff, people.
He is accused of falsely telling an investor that he had been appointed as the chief financial officer of the Vatican.
Authorities say he claimed that, as a result of that connection, he and others could obtain properties of the Catholic church in the United States at a substantial discount to fair market value.
Um ... in general, if someone tells you he's the chief financial officer of the Vatican, and you believe him, you kind of deserve to have your money swindled, don't you? Survival of the fittest, people.
