所以，你看整個包裝，你認為這傢伙是一個沙特王子，你知道，他真的有點選擇了這個驚人的完美的角色是一個沙特王子，他扮演的完美。

But it's very clever, because that is what people would think a spoiled, rich Saudi prince would do.

但這很聰明，因為人們會認為一個被寵壞了的、有錢的沙特王子會這麼做。

The Saudi royal family was really almost the perfect con for him.

每一次他的弊端都變得更加奢侈，從騙取高級酒店的數萬元，到為編造的石油公司收取投資，再到一次積累50多張千元的購物賬單。

Over and over again, he was caught, pleaded guilty, sentenced to probation and disappeared once again to start a new cons somewhere else.

一次又一次的被抓，一次又一次的認罪，一次又一次的被判緩刑，一次又一次的消失，去別的地方開始新的弊端。

You'd be amazed at how successful con artist can be if they keep up this persona in a country as Bigas, the United States.

他開始從牢房裡聯繫律師，讓他們相信他是沙特王子，如果他們代表他，沙特國王將親自支付他們的服務費。

邁阿密律師奧斯卡-羅德里格斯買下了它，並找來保釋擔保人交了4.6萬美元的保釋金，將小王子從監獄中釋放出來。

So Gignac got two men to drive him to a local American Express office and miraculously got his hands on a credit card with a $200 million limit.

於是，吉尼亞克找了兩個人開車把他送到當地的美國運通公司辦公室，奇蹟般地拿到了一張額度為2億美元的信用卡。

With the Saudi family, there's kind of an expectation that they can get away with things, and I wouldn't be surprised if American Express had experienced this kind of thing before.

對於沙特家族來說，有種他們可以逃脫的期望，如果美國運通之前遇到過這種事情，我也不會感到奇怪。

It wasn't long before the American Express Fraud Department caught on to what was happening.

沒過多久，美國運通詐騙部就發現了事情的真相。

They phoned Deaniacs bail bondsman and informed them that he was not in fact a Saudi prince and was currently committing credit card fraud.

他被投入監獄，並因電報詐騙罪被判處46個月的刑期，在他試圖通過點燃牢房的船帆來越獄後，變成了83個月。

But he was far from done.

但他還遠遠沒有完成。

If you're living on Fisher Island, you must be somebody because it's not easy to live on Fisher Island and not cheap.

And in the garage.

而在車庫裡。

He had his Ferraris and Lamborghinis and Rolls Royces, and one of the people that was working with him contacted one of somebody was working with Jeffrey Sofa and said Prince al Assad would like to buy a portion of the Fountain Blue hotel, and that's how it all started.

他有他的法拉利、蘭博基尼和勞斯萊斯，和他一起工作的人中有一個人聯繫了一個和傑弗裡-索法一起工作的人，說阿薩德王子想買一部分噴泉藍酒店的股份，這就是一切的開始。

他上當了。

Jeffrey saw for one of the most powerful real estate tycoons in Miami by saying that he wanted to buy a sizable percentage of the fountain bloom, a luxury hotel owned by saw for even in the world of thes, very high rolling CEOs who are in charge of these mega companies, who, you would think would not necessarily be seduced by this.

傑弗裡看到了一個最強大的房地產大亨在邁阿密說，他想買一個相當大的比例的噴泉綻放，豪華酒店擁有鋸甚至在世界的s，非常高滾動的CEO誰是在這些巨型公司的負責人，誰，你會認為不一定會被這個誘惑。

But there is this perception of the crown and of royalty of having this magnetic pull, and you could see it playing out in every con that Anthony Gignac played the game was to keep.

但有這種對王室和皇室的看法有這種磁力的吸引力，你可以看到它在安東尼-吉尼亞克玩的每一個Con中都在玩，遊戲是保持。

So for on the hook, Gignac promising a large investment while so for gave him expensive gifts forest long as he could, his lies started to get really out of hand.

所以對於上鉤，吉尼亞克承諾了大量的投資，而對於給他昂貴的禮品林只要他能，他的謊言開始真正失控。

He claimed that he had diplomatic status.

他聲稱自己有外交身份。

This was a foolish thing to lie about.

這是一件愚蠢的事情，撒謊。

The Jake was up, though, when Gignac out to dinner with So For and his family made the fatal mistake of ordering prosciutto for his appetizer.

不過，當吉格納克與蘇為及其家人外出吃飯時，傑克卻犯了一個致命的錯誤，他點了薰火腿作為開胃菜。

What kind of Muslim eats pork thought so for who then enlisted his security team to investigate a team that was looking into his background, simply contact at a Saudi associate and said, Look, is this guy a diplomat?

什麼樣的穆斯林吃豬肉這麼想對於誰來說，然後請他的安全團隊調查一個團隊，正在調查他的背景，只是在沙特的一個同事處聯繫，說，你看，這傢伙是外交官嗎？

And apparently they sent him like a two word response that said No again, Gignac fled this time to Paris, Hong Kong and London.
