While Dady hasn’t confirmed the identity of the celebrity, his Facebook post said he Googled the offender and that particular person’s net worth is $16 million.

The comments on the Facebook post suggest Mario Lopez might be the culprit and the timing fits.

Dady commented on the Facebook post and commented with a gif showing Mario Lopez in his "Saved by the Bell" days -- another clue perhaps?
