Raffaello Follieri, an Italian business man and real estate mogul wannabe, was charged with writing a bad check. And not just any bad check, dear ones. A check for $215,000 (TMZ reports $250K). Ouch. Now that is creative financing, no? The NY Post reports that the account he used only had $39 and some change in it. Wow. That’s some brass-plated you-know-whats the boy has there.

And poor little Anne Hathaway was dragged into her boyfriend’s saga when cops started pushing her to tell them where he was. The girl broke down in tears when questioned. Aw, the dearie has had enough embarrassments with Follieri.

This isn’t the first of Follieri’s woes. He was sued by Ron Burkle, a supermarket mogul for inappropriate expenditures. And there’s a lot of skepticism about his Catholic land deals, too. Looks like he just can’t keep his money under control.

Little Miss Hathaway should seriously consider her ties with her wild-card boyfriend before she gets involved in more than just getting queried by police.
