More Follieri Scumminess
TMZ has unearthed yet another example of extreme scumminess from Raffaelo Follieri: The website for the criminal douchebag's Follieri Foundation claims to run a program giving out free drug cards to the poor. But, when TMZ sniffed around, they could discover no instances of drugstores actually giving out medication to someone holding one of said cards; plus, they learned that the company that co-sponsored the program had mysteriously ceased to exist.
On the question of whether Follieri's ex-girlfriend Anne Hathaway might somehow become implicated in or at the very least sullied by Follieri's crimes...Well, the Crabster found a picture of her in a "Follieri Foundation" shirt talking to some little kid with Raffaelo sitting there looking all pleased with himself. I suppose it's possible that Raffelo duped Anne as much as the investors he allegedly bilked, and the poor people he never helped with his criminal-front charity. But I don't know. Anne's an intelligent, educated young woman. I still find it hard to believe that she was in the dark about what was happening. It wouldn't shock me to learn she was deeply involved in these scams.
Good thing she's already a lesbian...it will help her adjust quickly to prison life.
