This story traces the vast international swindling operations of the rogue Italian financier Giancarlo Рапеш, who plundered Hollywood’s мсм studios, contributed to a $25 billion loss at France’s state-owned Crédit Lyonnais bank and dabbled in the vast corruption of recent Italian governments. “In the annals of pilgrims who have come to Hollywood seeking sex, grandeur, riches and triumph, the little man who began as a hotel waiter in Italy would wreak more havoc in less time than anyone before,” writes McClintick.
