Anthony Gignac AKA Prince Khalid Bin al-Saud of Saudi Arabia spent the majority of his life lying about who he was. From an orphan fighting for survival on the streets of Colombia to dining with billionaires, like Jeffrey Soffer, in the world's most exclusive destinations -- Anthony's story is truly wild. He fooled successful business people, lawyers, and bankers and somehow got away with running his scam for decades.

You think with all that money, he would have gotten a proper haircut
And fixed his disgusting teeth lol
Baby Do
Further proof money can't buy style 🔥💸
For real!
😂😂😂😂😂
It blows my mind that someone who has a history of getting out on bail, going on probation, and disappearing CONTINUES to get out on bail, go on probation and disappear because they let the cycle run.
What do you want him to get life or the death penalty ? They are nonviolent crimes. And frankly some of these people are just stupid.
@@aspie-anarchist9854 I never said anything about life in prison or even the death penalty. He's a repeat offender. Lock his ass up, simple as that. YOU'RE the one imposing those sentences on him.
@@aspie-anarchist9854 yeah you can destroy the lives of hundreds of people but GOD FORBID THEY ATTEMPT A MURDER!
The non violent offender loophole.
nonviolent. being a liar isnt worth death lol
*He convinced American Express to give him a credit card with a $200 MILLION DOLLAR limit ON THE SPOT?!?*
Persuasion 100
Astonishing
Banking "due diligence" seems to be nonexistent in some places.
How did he manage to fool the first Arab family he met ? Surely they would expect him to know Arabic ??!
I cannot imagine what specific string of words would convince ANYONE this literal child is a real prince, especially with no hard evidence, yet he straight up walked out with 200M just for putting on a show and proposing fake bribes
Omfg!
Yup apparently all our rich elites are not very smart
Two things,
- There are thousands of real Saudi royals
- This is how everything happens at rich people hotels and stores. It's distasteful to ask for payment up front. It implies that you think they may not have it, and if they feel insulted you lose a customer.
Everyone stepping up to pay for him has an ulterior motive. They’re hoping that when they get reimbursed it’ll be for what they fronted plus LOTS more in appreciation. Greed upon greed
Right!! I was so shocked when they said 200m limit!!! Like what??
A Saudi prince who calls himself a prince of Dubai should be red flag enough.... 😅
most scams happn in the us....they dont ahve real schools how they could know
5:00 so this guy got arrested for fraud and stealing he called a lawyer and told him his dad would pay him if he defended him against his fraud and theft case, and the layer agreed? Sounds like the lawyer is an idiot.
He was just greedy like everyone else. All reason went out the window. Besides, we are judging with the benefit of hindsight. How sure are you that you wouldn't have fallen for it too?
The lawyer was saul Goodman and in on it lol
@@archipiratta exactly one hundered procent sure... You have to be either severely mentally challenged or american, to give anything to anybody based only on things that person says about himself... he can be an emperor of whatever place on the planet he wants - if he has no money, he can straight forward fuck off
He seemed able to prove with documentation
@@archipirattaI honestly don’t think most lawyers would do that for someone who had been busted for fraud
I'm surprised with how much traveling he did, no one ever spoke arabic to him or asked him to speak arabic. That alone would've gave him away especially since he would even go around Dubai.
Ew
And on which cars did he put the fake diplomatic license plates on if all the luxury cars were rentals?
You could spend entire lifetimes in Dubai without speaking Arabic
Alot of people use English in dubai
@@gertexanthis comment can’t be real? You do realize how easy it is to put a plate on a car right? 😂😂😂omg
I'm shocked at how many people just hand over luxury goods and money without any due diligence.
Can't do due diligence. If you're wrong you just insulted someone important with important rich friends. Better to take the hit from the occasional fraud.
Shows you the insane power of the Saudi royal family
@@theworldisavampire3346no. Of money. No money, no power. Always.
Why did his haircuts get progressively worse? Lol. It's like everytime he sat down in a barber chair and they asked what he wanted, he's like
"You know, give me the worst possible haircut you can imagine."
Hahaha hahaha 😂
R/justeffmyshitup
He DOESN'T EVEN look like a Saudi. How can those people blindly believe him he was a Saudi prince? 😆
My guy's out here pretending to be a Saudi price while looking like a Filipino...
@@12SPASTIC12 accurate! 😂
@@12SPASTIC12 for real 😂 that’s what I said earlier
Literally just google the royal family and see if there is a picture with him in it
He looks like a Philippine man
Wow, this guy is good. I can't even convince anyone to lend me a dollar.
looks like you have a bad credit history
All you have to do is pose as someone who actually has good credit history, lol
@@yamchayaku😂😂😂
That verbal diarrhea wasn’t even a language let alone Arabic, he was mimicking Arabic sounds it’s like meowing at the interrogators to convince them he’s a cat & they were fooled by his meows.
Was looking for this comment
"he even spoke pretty convincing Arabic"..lmao this narrator is a joke. You don't speak Arabic how can you judge if it's convincing? Verbal diarrhea is a perfect description lol
They weren’t convinced. Cops didn’t fall for anything during that interrogation. Not sure what you’re on about.
Feel free to ask.
@@SidGolan
@@R.A.A.who da fook is dat guy
They sometimes pretend to follow a conversation and to believe something in order to gain more information.
I feel like I’m stealing if I’m walking out of a store without buying something while this dudes out there fully believing he’s a Saudi prince
🎯
Confidence will get you places you never imagined you’d get to 😭💀
@@tabelaskade4888 like 18 years in jail.
That is stealing stupid.
@@soulreaperichig0 😂😂😂😂
This channel is a hidden gem you deserve way more attention.
Yes! I agree. It’s refreshening to hear cases that DOSEN’T involve death. 😌
This story has been done in multiple TH-cam channels.
@@kevinreid6223 what does that have to do with this channel being a gem?
Jut stumbled here and I lovei it.
People are not that smart: just checking his messed up teeth was enough to tell that he was not a rich kid!!! Then a few words in Arabic would have been enough to debunk him!
I love the irony that his fake rich friends gave him mostly fake jewelry and gifts. 😂 😂
Probably all the stuff from the rich is fake, as if anyone would care to find out :)
I think he bought those himself. He probably had to sell whatever gifts he conned out of people.
most people not only cannot see real value but we don't even know how to assess it..
The prosciutto... I'm fuckin dead.
Holy crap, WHY has Hollywood not jumped on this idea?? This is the perfect story!!!
They did with Disney's Aladdin.
@@Capydapy amazing comment
@@Capydapy actually aladin didnt claim he is prince, when he asked yasmin hand for marraige, the sultan knew he is poor, the sultan mocked for that because even thougth he is poor he is still dare to proposal for his daughter.
I have watched this like 4 times and I’m still entertained and just want more of this dude… any other documentaries on this guy?
it reminds me of the story of Parasite (korean movie, won an oscar)
Ironically this guy would do very well in business. Too bad he doesn't know how real money works beyond "Rolex".
This kid had good acting skills the fact that so many people believed him is amazing
And prayed on American ignorance since he doesn't look like an Arab, couldn't speak Arabic and didn't have a proper Arab accent
Good? Really, no. They were just idiots who believed him.
@@jokerofmorocco Could not speak Arabic does not mean they are not Arabs.
The look could also be like, explained, bcz remember there are many Arabs who went to Usa and just deposited in some delusional females and left.
Back when there were a lot of Saudi students that came to Usa for the first times.
Nope, really bad acting skills, he just took advantage of American stupidity
@@Vero2yu Yeah but you'd expect someone who's royalty in their country to know how to speak their own national language
genuinely inspiring .what a legend
Right on little grasshopper, right on!!!!
I love it, some people go through school or have medical issues and get slapped with bills it takes them years to pay off, this dude spends $20k in a week and never had to be held accountable for it.
He doesn't look remotely Arabic, nor does he dress like any of the actual Saudi princes do. What am I missing?
People can be really stupid and gullible. I bet none of them even asked him to speak the language for proof.
@@BlueSpeedsFan929:15
He looked straight up indigenous
@@AnAdorableWombat1 exactly..... I would have clocked him from the jump lol
Americans in general are not too bright.
Goes to show that fraud is basically the least punished crime in the US
Actually fraud is only charge you are forced to do the entire sentence no parole for fraud
Lolololol white collar crime is punished harshly. Only Uncle Sam is allowed to take your money.
It all depends what kind of fraud and severity.. technically you could successfully buy credit card online and buy up to 4k worth of items and resell all over the United States in a van. And you’ll be a jail free bird making money. But for really big scams like ppp loans and wire fraud it’s different
Until you do fraud against the state
No, that would be corrupt law enforcement offenses.
For a person who couldn't pronounce khalid correctly but got far. He didn't even look Arab to begin with.
What do Arabs look like?
@@EhsanMusic u can Google. He has no resemblance to any of the Arab royal families.
He doesn’t look Saudi Arabian at all but then again, people were just giving him stuff without doing any checks.
Yeah but he's a slippery lil prince nonetheless. No Money Mohammed
@@EhsanMusic Arabic.
The guy looks straight up Latino. How can people not figure out that he’s not a Saudi or an Arab.
I thought he looked indigenous.
@@beatrixbrennan1545 most Latinos are fully or partially indigenous. So that makes sense.
I see where George Santos got his inspiration from 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
..their narcissism?
Considering how often he was caught, he didnt really fool everyone.
He fooled enough people long enough, and for him I guess that was good enough.
He was almost never caught for long though. He's basically an eel because the moment you catch him, he just slips from your grasp.
Some people know they're being lied to but simply feel bad
Considering he was continually released and allowed to keep scamming it doesn't really matter if he didn't fool anyone.
At any point this dude could have kept a significant amount of money, disappear to somewhere beautiful for the rest of his years. But chose to remain in the game while more and more exit doors closed.
This is before Anna Delvey. The fact he's been in and out of jail is more astounding.
I have a so many questions. I know that there was no social media back then, but how was he getting these cards, and checking into hotels? they never asked for ID or passport? I also don't understand why he was given so many chances after being arrested. To top it all off, he doesn't look Saudi
My brain says. The many times he was caught and let Off... Only means. There was a quid Pro arrangment between the prison cops... And some other law enforcement agencies folks. Who may also got rich... Everytime he was released.. He would have to pay these guys in the law to cover his tracks. For another scam.. As, long as there was no way the law guys who helped him... Would get into trouble themselves... So my point is. Be it the cops. Be it the hotels.. Shops. Airports... American express credit... I'm sure... Some calls were made from them to law guys... As reference and they should have covered him... If not I will never believe anybody. Even Banks will issue cards. That too 200 Million limit... It only means some people at some levels of influence be it rich scamster businessmen... Cops. Etc. Did help him... Until it got out of control...
He was a fraudster who just made IDs and lied.
They literally show his "prince Dubai" instagram account...
How anyone, who desperately needs braces, can pass for a prince is beyond me.
Thank You
And such bad hair cuts.
Dude his arabic isn't even arabic. I'm Arab from Saudi and understood 0% of what he said. Verbal diarrhea as someone else described it.
@@1SmokedTurkey1😂😂😂
A Saudi Prince but looks like a straight up Native indigenous? Ohhhh Kay!
The fact this dude was able to get away with all this for so long makes me a lot more confident about J walking
Lol!
Lmfao
Another great video. I’ve never heard of this before and I watch a lot of stuff like this on TH-cam. I wouldn’t be surprised if this channel hits 500k subs in less than a year.
It's amazing how much these con artists can get away with because no one at any point decides to do a background check or verification of any kind.
when he gets locked up I imagine he's just going through the phone book calling lawyers until he finds one who believes a saudi prince is calling him from jail..
It's amazing how people can be so gullible
Not one person asked him to speak in Arabic or questioned his accent.
This was a great episode. Can’t believe I had never heard of this crazy guy and his princely deception. Can’t wait for more wild content.
I’m less surprised he got away with it and more surprised it took to 2015 with how much easier it is to literally just google someone and track their social media history.
These people don't google stuff
I understand what you're saying and I agree but some people's mind doesn't go "search engine" at first or at all and I'm honestly baffled.
Such Storys amaze me every time. The sheer audacity this person had.
For me, someone who suffered through severe social anxiety, barely able to talk to randoms, this is completely wild.
When you put all your points in Charisma.
Kid never sorted his hair game out! Oliver Tree's allover some of those mugshots!
Its amazing how people would give money to someone they believe he's rich with no gaurantee he'll pay it back, but to any one who is not rich they will be reluctant.
You do have to admit that in a way, this is pretty impressive.
Yay, a new post! Also, can we call him "Fraudi Prince"?
This story could be a Netflix series 😳
Dude dropped all that money and not once bought himself a decent haircut lol
What was the end goal here? He just stole money and spend them on stupid stuff. And got caught. Rinse and repeat. What was the logic? He lacks ability to be functional human being
it sounds like he made it his purpose in life and it worked a bit too long for my liking
it's kinda funny ngl, i kinda respect his hustle and the fact he always got a light slap on the wrist for it and went right back to his outlandish lies and swindled more foolish people who fell for those lies
Did they say American Express card made for him $200 million dollars???? I can’t get $10k card in my whole life lol 😂
This is real "fact"! 😄
I've got several credit cards but never got that kind of limit on them. The highest I ever got was $2000... and that was before my credit rating tanked!🤬
Next time ask for a $200 million credit limit, you might get it.
Oh boy... I grew up in foster care and orphanages after when I was 4 my biological mother kicked me and my then 13yr old sister out, my biological father took us in and child services took me out of there. Until today the worst thing I did was one count of driving a scooter without an licence and being in an accident that wasn't my fault. I felt SO bad, I never drove again and never got a license.
But I still feel very sorry for that boy- not the man he became, but the boy he was. Living even in loving foster care is hard if others let you know you dont belong there and foster parents often can't make up for that feeling of being in the wrong place, the wrong life really.
This is not the first time i hear this story and still cannot believe the amount of idiots it involves
Man, your videos are great and it shows! Nothing but success and good fortune to you in the future!
Really amazing stuff man. Keep up the great work!
Just stumbled upon this channel last week. The detail in your content is fantastic and you really should have more subscribers. Keep up the grind buddy
“He conviced an arab family and live with them for couple of months” like they never asked him any question in arabic? Well too simpleton of them people i suppose.
You're killing it man! Love these videos so much
by FAR my fav video essay channel on yt. keep up the great work!!!
This is incredible to me because I once had an acquaintance who used to tell me these incredible stories about how he once ran around with a “fake Saudi prince”. He also went into some details about the grifts that he pulled.
I thought he was just a liar, but his stories line up exactly with the story here!
I believe now that either he or someone he knew were actually involved with this.
Got so excited when I saw you uploaded! Thank you for your outstanding videos 😊
Thank YOU for watching!
Excellent videos. Really enjoy your work.
I loved this video! the depth you went into is outstanding! it must require so much effort to put these videos together, i'm glad you're finally seeing some subscriptions! amazing channel, amazing video.

He is simply a conman. You always think why do people fall for these total scam artists but then they're extremely convincing like these romance scammers.
Are the romance scams convincing though or are they just targeting vulnerable people who are desperate and therefor more likely to believe them? The vast majority of these scams I've heard or read about are not really sophisticated in any way... Any level headed person looking at it without any emotions attached can clearly see it's a scam.
It's exactly the same with this guy, he easily gained people's trust as they thought they were about to benefit financially from the situation. If they stopped for a minute and thought objectively rather than allowing F.O.M.O to consume them they'd have arrived at the same conclusion as the hotel owner.
Your subscriber growth is crazy! You’ve *tripled* in subscribers in like 2 weeks 😮 no surprise given the great quality right out the gate and it gets better with each video! Really looking forward to watching the growth and evolution of your channel

It makes me laugh how businesses in the luxury sector will just accept that "the Saudi royal family will pay for it" without even questioning it. Shall I go and buy a shedload of stuff from Central London and just tell them King Charles will pick up the bill, and see if that washes with them?
Ok I've watched all your videos now.. I need more 🙏
This channel is a hidden gem!!
How have I never heard of this
I don't know who was more naive the so called prince or the people handing him free things cause they think his royalty
Fake it till you make it. He had to do what he had to do to survive. Can't blame him.

Mannnn, I was thinking this was the dude emailing everyone back in the 2000’s 😂

If only they dig just a centimetre deep or asked one question to Anthony; “bin what?” . Bin = son of. Al Saud if not mistaken is a family name. The last king named Saud was in the 50’s and died in the 60’s.
Based on the timeline of the events, it would've been implied (or assumed) that he was specifically faking the identity of Khalid bin Fahd Al Saud, who was the only prince named Khalid of the ruling king Fahd bin Abdulaziz Al Saud at the time.
However, Anthony was born like 12 years after the real prince Khalid was!
You're exactly right though, his name as he presented himself would've made no sense and just a little more digging would've revealed that. Lmao
It's also worth noting that the real prince Khalid bin Fahd Al Saud did not have any exceptional political power or involvement at the time.
Most Saudi kings have *tons* of children, so being a prince in and of itself isn't super uncommon. The royal family is pretty huge
But Khalid wasn't of particular importance
@@Jhfisibejoso8pkabrvo2is8 That's the idea. Steal some random Prince's identity (not some big wig that might be heavily photographed or documented) so it will be harder to track.
All this could be stopped if a single person asked him something in Arabic.
as a Saudi myself, Yes you are completely 100% right
