What do you get when you mix a Colombian orphan, a fake Saudi accent, and a $200 million AmEx credit limit? No, not the start of a Netflix dark comedy—it's the real-life saga of Anthony Gignac, the world’s most committed fake prince.

In this Wrap Sheet episode, we go full send on the glittering disaster that was “Prince” Khalid. From conning luxury hotels with pork on his plate (not exactly halal, Your Highness) to trying to buy a Miami hotel with Monopoly money vibes, Gignac scammed his way through the elite one martini at a time.

Steve dives into the high-gloss Instagram delusions, rented jets, fake Rolex diplomacy, and one extremely suspicious Versace bathrobe. Plus: what happens when a billionaire smells bacon and hires a private investigator? Spoiler: things get fishy—tuna factory-level fishy.

Also featuring:

His entourage of enablers and their deeply questionable fashion choices
Bribes disguised as gifts from wannabe oil deal investors
A dramatic takedown at JFK by the DSS (that’s Diplomatic Security Service—not a boy band)
The tragic end of a co-conspirator
And foie gras with enough ego to demand a royal title

By the end of this one, you'll be questioning every “prince” with an Instagram account, a Louis Vuitton carry-on, and a suspiciously silent translator.

Not every crown is real—but every con leaves a paper trail.
