Anne Hathaway's Ex Gets Four and a Half Years Behind Bars
Thursday October 23, 2008
 Bob Riha Jr/WireImage.com Anne Hathaway's ex-boyfriend was sentenced to four and a half years behind bars Thursday for wire fraud, money laundering and conspiracy. Raffaello Follieri, 30, only wanted to serve three years, according to papers submitted by his lawyer in a Manhattan federal court earlier this month. He was first arrested in June after he was accused of defrauding investors with a scheme to flip properties owned by the Roman Catholic Church. His lawyer said the Italian businessman had good intentions when he created a business to buy the properties. But Follieri soon "became intoxicated with it all" after living amongst some of the world's wealthiest people, his lawyer said. Lacking the resources to live their opulent lifestyle, he then began misusing other people's money, said his lawyer. "As soon as I found out about the arrest, I had to get on a plane to Mexico to do a press tour for Get Smart," Hathaway says in October's W. "And then I spent a week in shock at a friend's house." (Vanity Fair has reported that Hathaway broke off their four-year relationship just hours before his arrest. "You were the love of my life," she told him by phone on June 23.) Do these stars look better after breakup? "It's a situation where the rug was pulled out from under me all of a sudden," Hathaway told W.

Sparkster- Typical female response. The man duped the sh*t out of this woman and your first conclusion is that SHE did something wrong. Why is it her fault that she chose to believe that there is good in humans? You’re gross

She had NO IDEA? I mean come on. No clue? You have a four year relationship with this person and had no inkling of a suspicion that he might be up to something? Please. Naïve. Naïve and stupid.
