David Villanueva dressed for success. At the office or out on the town, his extra-large frame was always draped in a new suit and a designer shirt. Outfits accessorized with thick gold chains, diamond rings and luxury watches from the likes of Rolex and Patek Philippe. And size-13 dress shoes he often bragged were custom-made and cost $30,000 a pair. Imposing and impressive, with charisma to burn, the 62-year-old had a knack for putting people at ease — and separating them from their money.
