A 13-YEAR-OLD boy who lives with his gran has been exposed as one of Britain’s biggest internet conmen. The boy earned more than £250,000 ($607,000) by posing as the boss of several multinational companies selling vacuum cleaners, stationery and office supplies. Many goods weren’t sent, but he used the cash to revel in a luxury lifestyle way beyond his years: he wore designer suits, drank vintage champagne and travelled by chauffeur-driven limousine. He even employed a personal bodyguard, flew abroad on business trips and claimed he was going to buy a private jet. A source close to the investigation said yesterday: “Despite coming from a relatively humble background, he became an outrageous snob. He claimed public transport was for commoners.”

“He is a total bully and an extremely arrogant young man.”

He made bulk purchases on credit from expensive stores and took “business trips” to Paris and Edinburgh. He hired women from escort agencies and went drinking in exclusive clubs. But despite his intelligence, his lack of education was exposed in emails littered with spelling and grammatical errors. But a police source said he could be very convincing: “He is 6ft tall and looks a lot older.”

13 years old!

I loved that movie (Blank Check) as a kid. I remember seeing it in London, seated next to an Egyptian guy with his son and daughter. The problem was that his kids didn’t know English, so he was translating the movie to them the whole time. I remember going back to Kuwait, going to Video Club (remember that place?) and renting it, to my luck, the tape they gave me got damaged when I put it into the VCR. I didn’t get to watch it, properly, till about a year after that. I’ve watched it dozens of times since then. Something about young kids with lots of cash….(btw Richie Rich sucks, too snobby for my taste back then)

Now if I could get this boy and this man to work for me….
