John LeBoutillier, Ex-Congressman, Taken for $18,500 in Mafia POW Rescue Scam

​We should be thankful that there's and "ex" before ex-Congressman John LeBoutillier's name. The Republican blue blood from New York now spends his days being really rich and trying to rescue American POWs. But let's just say he lacks of the sophistication to deal with the world the rest of us inhabit...

LeBoutillier believes American POWs from the Vietnam era are still being held in Belarus. Why Belarus? Hell if we know.

So LeBoutillier enlisted an unlikely aide in his quest to rescue them: Colombo Family capo Frank (Frankie Blue Eyes) Sparaco. It seems Frankie Blue saw a moron with a lot of money just waiting to be taken, so he claimed to have extensive contacts with bad guys in Eastern Europe. 

The one problem is that Sparaco is currently serving a 24-year sentence for murder. So he had Charles (Charlieboy) Guiga serve as his middleman.

LeBoutillier decided a convicted Mafia murderer would make a good partner in his POW quest. He paid Guiga $18,500 to do investigative work that involved no real investigation.

Naturally, the Mafiosi took him for as much money as they could before the scam revealed itself. The former congressman is now positively outraged that such upstanding citizens would rip him off.

"If I was scammed, I feel betrayed," LeBoutillier told the New York Daily News.

Memo to John LeBoutillier: Maybe you should let your wife handle the checkbook.
