The Strangest Ways Celebrity Get Scammed
Jack Nicholson Jack Nicholson Not all scams happen behind the victim's back. Tod Volpe was a Hollywood aristocrat. Throughout the 70s, 80s, and 90s, Volpe rubbed shoulders with Hollywood A-listers such as Barbra Streisand, Jack Nicholson, Bruce Willis, and Sylvester Stallone. Volpe was a big spender and hung around a crowd of high rollers. But to maintain that lifestyle, he had to cut some corners. In Volpe's own words, he could take a $100,000 painting and sell it to Jack Nicholson for $300,000 without Nicholson even questioning it. He'd built relationships with some of the wealthiest people in Hollywood, and they trusted him to take care of them when it came to fine art. In return, Volpe constantly overcharged them for the pieces, pocketing the extra money to fund his lavish lifestyle. By 1995, Volpe was filing for bankruptcy with debts of over $3 million. Volpe rose in power from a humble origin. He was an Oxford University student, and in the mid-1970s, he opened a small art gallery with his cousin. The gallery went viral and received a raving review in "The New York Times." Shortly after, the gallery was filled with curious visitors and well-known celebrities. He started living a luxurious life and rubbing shoulders with renowned A-listers like Joel Silver and Larry Gordan, who eventually took him to Hollywood. During this time, Todd decided to use his Hollywood connections to chase his dream of making movies. However, it was a terrible idea. He later confessed that he would have been better off if he remained true to his art. Todd believed that to be a celebrity; one had to live a luxurious life. As he struggled to maintain an affluent lifestyle, his expenses got out of hand, and thus he resorted to corruption. He sold art pieces on his client's behalf without their permission. He also used money meant to purchase art and instead used it to pay off his debts. He eventually returned to New York, determined to revive the art business. Unfortunately, the dealers became suspicious, and ultimately, he filed for bankruptcy in 1995, now $3 Million in debt. Todd didn't deny his crimes but confessed them. In retrospect, he regarded his journey as one of love, truth, and friendship, stating them as the core values and keys to a happy life.
