Kim Kardashian married Kris Humphries in August, and one of their wedding guests was a financial advisor to the groom—Andrey C. Hicks. Hicks was arrested yesterday in Canada—on his way to Switzerland, perhaps?—for wire fraud and investment scams of at least $1.7 million dollars. Hundreds of thousands of those dollars belonged to Kris Humphries, reports TMZ. No wonder sources are reporting the basketball player gets money from wife Kim Kardashian for his daily needs.
It seems Hicks was luring celebs into investing in a billion dollar hedge fund which does not exist! Robbing! Bilking! Scamming! There are various words for the process by which unscrupulous money men get wealthy people to put money—often really big money—into their schemes, without thoroughly checking them out.
Fans remember the Kim Kardashian-Kris Humphries wedding was relatively small, by Kardashian standards, so the invitation Andrey Hicks, 27, got shows he was a trusted "friend". He even shows up in pictures of the more-exclusive rehearsal dinner. And all the while, he was planning to make off with tons of the groom's hard-earned money.
Was Kim Kardashian fooled, or was she not in the loop? If Kris did not ask his wife-to-be's advice before putting dough into Hicks's scheme, he certainly should have!
Meanwhile, the alleged crook told everyone he graduated from Harvard, which he did not—he was tossed out after three semesters, for poor grades. Now he could be in prison for the next twenty years.
Meanwhile, since the NBA can't get its act together, Kris is still unemployed. Probably, he will be a lot more careful, next time he has a salary. But will he still be married to Kim Kardashian?
