How did the young entrepreneur and media darling, Waleed Ahmed, known as "Norway's Mark Zuckerberg" ends up being arrested by the FBI and sentenced to 11 years in prison?

Norwegian-Pakistani Waleed Ahmed (25) was a charismatic boy who took Norway and the international business world by storm, hailed by the media as an exceptionally promising entrepreneur, and brought into the Norwegian royal family - but it all turned out to be a bluff. How did Waleed end up being arrested by the FBI and convicted to a 11 years long sentence in a US high security prison? What makes a boy lie about almost everything, and did he manage to convince everybody he met?
