A spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office told The Post that even as Giacomaro was providing evidence to federal officials on an earlier case, he was busy hoodwinking fresh marks. “While he was cooperating, he was committing further fraud,” said U.S. Attorney’s OfficeDominick Branahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11053882301506443046noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8435863775269616645.post-59184323555191920572015-06-18T08:39:00.000-07:002017-06-01T08:39:43.510-07:00Read about the King of Con, on the run.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I didn't say good-bye to anyone else - I left everything: my wife and kids back in Jersey, my million dollar mansion, my fleet of cars and all my companies. I packed 21 suitcases and a sh!tload of cash and disappeared off the face of the earth, gone. After landing in Amsterdam, we flew to Kenya, Nairobi and from there to Johannesburg, South Africa. Within days, I'd bought a seven-bedroom, Palazzo-style villa with cash complete with a 50,000 gallon swimming pool, tennis court, and two brand new 750Li BMWs. The house was surrounded by a towering stone wall to keep the homeless squatters out. It looked like a fortress.Dominick Branahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11053882301506443046noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8435863775269616645.post-1057932376456206402015-06-09T08:35:00.001-07:002017-06-01T08:36:09.291-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
