Christian Gerhartsreiter

Christian Gerhartsreiter aspired to be a millionaire in his early days when he lived in Germany with his parents. To achieve his goals he took a trip to the U.S during 1980s; “he scammed the immigration officers by convincing them that he was invited to live with a relative in the U.S. After his landing in the U.S he roamed around and settled in a small house with a family in Berlin, Connecticut; defrauding them as a wealthy heir from Germany”. He joined the nearby school as a foreign exchange student and thought of becoming an actor, so he married a girl nearby to get his hands on the U.S green card, and later went to California thus leaving his wife behind.

In California he imposed himself as a movie producer called 'Christopher Crowe' and got hired in a film company. He was eventually found out and fired which made him to take the spiciest name for himself as 'Clark Rockefeller'. He imposed himself as a Rockefeller, the name of one of the wealthiest and powerful family in the U.S and got married to a well financed lawyer who's alma mater was Stanford University.

He had a daughter with her and later got divorced by her when she learned his true identity through a private detective. He was arrested in the year 2008 for kidnapping his daughter and for forging fake identity documents and was sentenced to 5 years. In 2011, “he was also indicted for a murder done during the year 1985 and was sentenced to 26 years of imprisonment”. He now finally ended up as a fraudster and got imprisoned in prison.
