For nearly thirty years, Anthony Gignac, born Jose Enrique Moreno on the streets of Colombia, posed as Saudi royalty to con hotels, department stores, a university, and eventually a group of ultra wealthy international investors out of millions of dollars. From a sixth grade Mercedes scam to a two hundred million dollar American Express card to an eight million dollar investment fraud scheme, Anthony's story is one of the boldest and strangest cons in recent memory, and it came at a real human cost. On today's WTF Wednesday, Gina and Amber trace the entire arc of the Prince of Fraud, from an orphaned five year old to a federal inmate with a release date in 2032.
A big shout-out to Haley Gray for her research on this episode!
