He was the head of a pyramid scheme he was like 22-23 I believe. This is pictures of his house with only a few cars he had. I think the cops got up to like 15 exotics he had purchased.

*Inspection of the 2006 Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren: All bidders wanting to access the area around the vehicle will be required to leave a $5,000.00 deposit via a Bank check.

Ha ha ha what a joke. What the heck do they think they have? These cars are sitting outside on dealer lots for anyone to go up to and in some cases sitting in show rooms for you to open up and climb in. The sad fact is, these cars are only selling for half of what they were purchased for, if your lucky. The only exceptions being the 722 models that seem to be holding a higher resale value and the ultra rare Stirling Moss edition. I hope theres more to the $5k fee than just accessing the "area around the vehicle".

Thanks for the update, SL65 is quite a car for 65k. I actually thought they did quite well getting 210k for the SLR given that it's "tainted"

I see the Phantom and Maybach in the background of those pics too

he should have at least rented a warehouse to keep all those cars, looks like the house has a one car garage, and one car driveway. neighbors do get suspicious (read: jealous) when they see ***** like that.
