DALLAS, TX – You can’t take your stuff with you to the grave.
While R. Allen Stanford isn’t six feet under, he certainly isn’t using his multiple mansions worth of expensive crap while serving his 110 year prison sentence.
Stanford was locked up last year for frauding $7 billion from people in a massive Ponzi scheme, and auctioneers are still chipping away at his property.
Up for grabs this time around was a 7 x 6 foot blue glass chandelier made by artist Dale Chihuly. It went for $158,000. That’s more than double what was expected.
It’s a small dent in that $7 billion, but all of this money goes to the Ponzi scheme victims.
This just proves once again that more money equals more problems.
