Ann Hathaway's ex gets arrested for fraud...didn't see that one comming.

Good thing she dropped his felonious ass last week cause her ex Raffaello got picked up by the cops and it comes in three tasty flavors! You get:

1. FEDERAL WIRE FRAUD!
2. CONSPIRACY!
3. MONEY LAUNDERING!

Jesus Ann, you really know how to pick em. But wait there's more!!! TMZ reports:

Raffaello Follieri is due in Manhattan federal court on Tuesday, accused of lying to an investor, claiming he had been appointed the chief financial officer of the Vatican. Cops say because people believed his faux Vatican connection, he was able to buy properties owned by the Catholic church in the U.S. at a way cheaper rate.

Chief financial officer of the fucking Vatican??? And people bought that??? I gotta give my man Raff credit on one thing, I never heard that one before! I think his defense in court should prove very interesting. The man's got an imagination that would have given Issac Asimov a fucking brain hemorrhage!

*UPDATE: The Feds just set his bail at whopping $21 million dollars. Although I'm sure he stole enough cash to cover that one.
