Antonio Fasolino—Olive Oil Investment Scam

Antonio Fasolino Allegedly Cold Pressed a Slippery $3.4 Million Olive Oil Investment Scam

Antonio Fasolino, of Jersey City, New Jersey, allegedly pressed investors out of more than $3 million in a dripping olive oil investment scheme, according to federal prosecutors.

Antonio Fasolino claimed that his company held $33 million worth of inventory rich in golden monounsaturated fatty acids, according to reports from New Jersey.

Two retailers who had hoped to help consumers follow their Mediterranean diet were allegedly lured by the aforementioned claims and loaned Fasolino about $3.4 million in 2012, federal prosecutors report.

Investigators allege that Fasolino dipped into investor money to pay for a car, mortgage payments, a wedding and college tuition, according to federal prosecutors.

Fasolino has been released on $250,000 unsecured bond and ordered not to break bread with or have any contact with victims or witnesses, according to reports from the Garden State.

Fasolino has previously been convicted three times on fraud charges, and the new charge carries a potential 20-year prison sentence, prosecutors report.
