‘Norway’s Mark Zuckerberg’ is arrested by the FBI and sentenced to 11 years in a US prison. How did the young entrepreneur and media darling end up there and who are all the people that fell for his scams?

What makes a young boy lie about almost everything, and how comes he manages to convince almost everybody he meets? Norwegian-Pakistani Waleed Ahmed (25) is a charismatic young man who mesmerized the national and international business community. He was hailed as an exceptionally promising entrepreneur and brought into the royal family’s circle of influential friends. How did sweet Waleed end up as the “Bieber fraudster” in a U.S. federal prison?
