Police arrested Anne Hathaway’s sleazy boyfriend, Raffaello Folleri, yesterday for passing a bad check. As of last night, the real estate developer was still in NYPD custody for bouncing a $250,000 check.
“He went willing to a precinct, he was not brought by police, and he was not handcuffed,” a source told Usmagazine.com. “This is a misunderstanding that his lawyers are already sorting out.”
A Washington, D.C. court recently ordered Follieri to pay a public-relations firm $250,000 for work done on his behalf, TMZ reports.
Folleri has a bad track record with money: he was sued by supermarket magnate Ron Burkle in 2007 for $55 million after he allegedly used Burkle’s money on various shit for Anne.
According to the lawsuit, filed in Delaware Chancery Court, Follieri spent at least some of the gigantic money pile on private jet travel for himself and Hathaway, dog care for their Labrador Esmerelda, monster shopping at Prada and Fendi, and an executive chef, among other extravagances. The money was supposed to be poured into development of land purchased from the Catholic Church, which is Follieri’s business specialty.
Folleri eventually settled with Burkle, and agreed to pay him back in property, because he didn’t have funds available to pay him in cash.

I guess it’s *kinda* sweet that he robbed others to treat her, rather than robbing her to treat himself. Still, pretty lame. Take the Fendi and run, girl!

So wait, this guy doesn’t even have the cash to pay off his debts because he’s busy buying up all the property he can? And then spending the cash on his girlfriend? Classy dude!

Yeah, it’s funny, I was at the grocery store and I tried to write a check for 250 grand over the amount of my purchase and they wouldn’t let me. This dude must have the super platinum check cashing card to let get away with that shit.

Horseshit, you can’t write a bad check for 250G’s, they check that account out before the check’s even finished written. If someone was dumb enough to take a check that large w/o checking funds I say they deserved it their loss.
But Annes worth it IMO and many others.
