In a jaw-dropping heist straight out of a Hollywood thriller, two men impersonated French Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian using silicone masks and a fake office setup, swindling millions from the world’s elite. From 2015-2016, Gilbert Chikli and Anthony Lasarevitsch targeted politicians and executives, convincing them to fund alleged secret French state operations. Despite contacting 150 potential victims, they only scammed three—but one victim alone sent a staggering $47 million, believing it was for journalist ransoms. Their high-profile targets included the Aga Khan, who lost €20 million, with some funds still missing. The duo received 11 and 7-year sentences, but Avonetics users are buzzing about their potential to profit even after prison. For advertising opportunities, visit Avonetics.com.
