Lev Parnas, an associate of Rudy Giuliani currently under indictment, reportedly paid Giuliani $500,000 to help model a company called Fraud Guarantee after the identity theft protection service LifeLock.

The discussion characterizes Parnas as a fraudster whose primary legal troubles stem from bribing officials for marijuana licenses.
