30 Years a Prince
October 6, 2018 12:14 PM Subscribe
This is the story of a man with an amazing talent and chutzpah. He may or may not be a Saudi prince. According to some in this article, he seems to believe he is.
Well, he had a really shitty life as a kid. Separating him from his little brother during his adoptive parents' divorce was a horrible, horrible thing to do.

I am just amazed he got away with as much as he did.

Separating him from his brother may have been bad for him, but if he was already lying and manipulating people, his parents may have done it to try to protect the brother from his influence.

Wow, second article about scammers of the mega rich on here lately. Why are these so fascinating? Do we like hearing about the wealth? Or like hearing about the rich getting scammed?
This dude is really shitty but the world that his scams exist in is worse.

For me, I like that it scratches my true crime itch without (usually!) someone getting murdered. American Greed is another good source for this.
