A social media star known as the Iranian King of Instagram,
whose online feed was plastered
with scandalous photos of naked models,
wild parties, and exotic cars, was nabbed by federal
immigration and customs enforcement agents on October 27,
after it was revealed the 55-year-old
party animal allegedly crossed the U.S. northern border illegally
from Canada in 2011 and had been
on an alleged crime spree dating back to at least 1989,
with charges ranging from robbery and
An Iranian citizen Farzad Tony Tutoni,
who lived in a $5 million mansion in the Hollywood Hills,
flaunted his racy lifestyle online under
the Instagram handle Lunatic Living,
posting photos of cash, nude women, and wild parties,
all while ducking immigration officials.
The social media celebrity often doled advice
to his more than 1 million followers,
with content featuring scantily clad women in luxurious settings.
And fleets of fast cars, describing himself as a self-made entrepreneur
and a, quote, pelvis philanthropist.
We're in bed. We have a DJ.
She's coming. Hi. Oh, there's the DJ.
I appreciate it.
I live my life like it's my last day every day,
reads one Instagram post last year that shows
Tutoni sitting in a private jet with three women in his lap,
and bundles of $100 bills placed in
a stack on a table in the foreground.
Another photo shows the tattooed Iranian standing
shirtless on the balcony of a swanky high-rise apartment,
with a woman slung over him with the
caption, women are attracted to power, men are attracted to innocence.
Investigators say Tutoni, who also used the first name Robert,
committed a series of serious crimes
in the U.S. after arriving here legally in 1983.
It's not known exactly how he got his money,
but it is clear that he is accused,
and there's paperwork to back this up. There's a crime spree
that he participated in or conducted, according to the feds, since...
1989, at least, multiple arrests, multiple charges,
including kidnapping, extortion, theft.
So he was involved in this illegal activity all
the while that he was, you know,
posting all this content online and developing a big following.
ICE officials said the influencer had
been previously arrested for criminal threats,
criminal conspiracy, and possession and sale of a controlled substance.
He was also sentenced to more than 16 months imprisonment for making
or passing a fictitious check,
grand theft, conspiracy, forgery, kidnapping,
robbery, and extortion, according to the officials.
In 1993, an immigration judge ordered Tutoni removed from the country,
but he managed to remain, according to authorities.
In 1999, another judge ordered him removed again,
and he was deported to Mexico, the feds say.
ICE officials claim Tutoni said he re-entered
the U.S. illegally in April 2011,
near St. Clair, Michigan,
by crossing a river using an electric raft purchased in Canada.
While living illegally in the U.S.,
Tutoni created a party animal persona that he bragged about online.
Multiple photos on his feed show him laying out $100 bills
on top of scantily clad women,
and showing off his walk-in closet full of high-end shoes.
It's obviously my shoes.
He appeared to be having a great time posing with sports cars,
hanging out with models,
chilling out with celebrities like Chris Brown, Wiz Khalifa.
There's a photo of him that shows
him on the ice with a NHL player holding the Stanley Cup.
A recent series of photos
showed the Iranian celebrating at the Desert Festival Burning Man.
With beautiful women and an ostentatious campsite featuring a custom RV
and a trailer that featured psychedelic decor.
ICE officials said Tutoni is now being held in federal custody
as authorities begin removal proceedings against him.
