Leo's Scorned Money Man Out of Jail
Want to know what a pariah looks like? Dana Giacchetto found out the hard way Saturday night.
Even though R.E.M.'s office gave him a pair of tickets to the Garden show, Giacchetto who spent three years in prison for bilking celebrities and other investors out of $20 million was avoided like the proverbial plague by one and all.
When he spotted this reporter before the show started, Giacchetto made a vulgar gesture indicating that prison had not chastened him.
I asked him, consequently, "Dana, where is the money? Where have you hidden it'?" He gave a Cheshire smile.
Mostly what was interesting was that the tickets he'd been given floor seats were evidently not good enough for this jailbird. As soon as R.E.M. hit the stage, Giacchetto pulled his girlfriend forward to the first few rows to scout up even better seats.
Big question for the SEC, though: How can this man afford to live in Manhattan, dress in designer clothes, etc.? The answers would be awfully interesting.
