Second try.

Six years jail, probably no parole.

Money still unaccounted.

Lovely.

Actually it is most probably buried in Italy where the "film maker" lives. They found some of the money (buried) but only a small part. There must be lots because there were several very rich woman in the scheme.



Maybe some day the whole story will come out in a film. Stay tuned.

The guy is clearly a bad crook, but I have to ask myself what's his secret...I have a hard enough time just getting 1 woman to have sex with me. Yet the guy was able to get many many women to have sex with him, AND to pay him millions! What am I doing wrong?!?

Trevor:

You better get in line for that job opening...Right behind me!

i wouldn't be surprised if she paid the guy off to confess his guilt so that she wouldn't have to appear in court. and.....i bet he gets conjugal visits too. so he got the money, the sex, and 6 yeras paid room and board in a luxury german prison farm!

But to take her to a Holiday Inn?  :blink:

Staff in five-star hotels might actually have known her.

The staff there probably didn't even know her - the rooms were most likely always booked on his name.

Before this incident, she avoided media-attention almost completely.

I don't read the yellow-press, but AFAIK, she rarely made any public appearances at the usual occasions (Munich has a lot of these...).

Just to give you an idea: she met her husband while working at a BMW factory under a false name (she didn't want any kind of special treatment) and only told him after weeks of seeing him who she really was - she wanted to make make sure, he really loved her, not her money.

I would have expected the ladies in the group to express some real support for her decision to come forward. It took some real "balls" to do so given what she had to loose in terms of face.



You notice that the other victims are still hiding in the bushes. Since he pleaded guilty at least the others can stay out of the spot light, unless of course the police let slip who the other victims were. Who knows.

The whole thing only came to light because the Italian police somehow leaked the story. German authorities had investigated for months without anything slipping out.

But the guy's "boss" in Italy (who AFAIK has been let going without any real charges) had been questioned by local police and "somehow" the interrogation protocols found their way to the media...
