Columbian orphan con-artist doubles as saudi prince.
“You mean the fake prince of Fisher Island?” the man told me. “To play the role he played so well for so long, he had to believe the lie. He actually believes he is Khalid, the prince of Saudi Arabia. I was sucked into absolute mayhem. He dangled such a carrot. Even though you knew he was full of shit, the carrot was so big, and there was a 2.2 percent chance that there was some truth in his asinine lies, that you kept going. He was so talented, and pulled off so much shit, I don’t even know where to begin.”
“I’ve been in the biz 25 years, but he was Top 10 over-the-top, flamboyant, all the bells and whistles,” says Don Pingaro, a local real-estate agent. “He had the royal name, the seal, the bodyguards, the jewelry, the entourage, the business manager. He was looking for the best of the best.”
