His Persona
Like all could-be swindlers, dude is savvy, smooth, and tends to enjoy the finer things in life. According to Air Mail, his voice is "a baritone, mid-Atlantic drawl with an old-money gravitas." He was always outfitted in Zegna, taking private jets to go shopping in Milan. He covered the bill for long power lunches at swanky eateries across Mayfair and one friend described him as having "good perfumes." That is, of course, until now. In November, a British court froze his assets at the request of a German financial company in the process of suing him for withholding $14 million worth of artwork that's, um, not his.
