Fake Saudi prince from Miami gets 18 years for string of scams.

Anthony Gignac was not born into the Saudi royal family — his birthplace is Bogotá, Colombia. But the 48-year-old Miami con man, has pretended to be a rich sheikh throughout his adult life.

And it has gotten him into lots of trouble. During the past 30 years, Gignac has been arrested for impersonating a Saudi prince at least 11 times and been in and out of prison, according to federal prosecutors.
