Life's been a masquerade ball for this conman but the charade is unravelling

It's a long way from the grease pit of an Adelaide diesel fitter to pyjama parties at Hugh Hefner's Playboy mansion. It has been a wild ride for Michael Peter Nugent, who claimed to have invented a magnetic engine that magically needed no fuel.
But in the past decade, the conman has lived the high life on millions of dollars raised from small investors around the country, without ever delivering on his promises by producing anything that works.

Taking life by the horns: Michael Peter Nugent partying on a
business empire funded by small investors.
He took in personalities such as the formula one racing legend Alan Jones. Nugent wanted to put his magnetic engine in the supercar that Jones has designed and developed himself.
''It was all very technicolour and exciting,'' Jones said. ''But it shows that you should be wary.''

However, it did it find "Bedini".
A warning to us all.
