The Fake Saudi Prince - The Anthony Gignac story

Anthony Gignac, a Colombian-born con artist, spent over three decades impersonating Saudi royalty to defraud investors worldwide. Assuming the identity of "Prince Khalid bin Al Saud," he orchestrated schemes that amassed over $8 million, funding a lavish lifestyle of luxury cars, yachts, and private jets. His deception unraveled in 2017 when a suspicious investor noticed inconsistencies in his behavior, leading to his arrest. In 2019, Gignac was sentenced to more than 18 years in prison for impersonation and fraud.
