yeah looks like another bernie madoff ponzi scheme , on a little smaller scale

I hope they get they get a good price for the cars so maybe some of the debt could be repaid. He certainly didn't steal enough to maintain his collection well though.

um isnt this the UNITED STATES of AMERICA ? are you not innocent until proven guilty ? but yet they are auctioning of the collection before trial WTF  ?

if MOWEN is found innocent they will reimburse him what $ they got from the auction !!! how the F@*K is that RIGHT ?

yes most likely he is guilty as hell . but this is wrong . so what the gov has to pay $20K a month for storage .

this is UNITED STATES of AMERICA  and you are still innocent until proven guilty !!

so watch out from what i gather the gov can just run around pointing thier fingures , accuse you of something , take your stuff and auction it off for pennies on the dollar before you even goto trial .


this is TOTAL BS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yup. "Inalienable Rights" is only Propaganda. Your rights are something you apply for at the courthouse, subject to convincing a judge he should grant them to you.

freedom in the U.S. is just a very small path that's width gets smaller every election year.  you step of said path... you no longer have freedom.

his collection is too big anyways, he needs to share the wealth

I saw the front clip of a Pantera and the GL clone but most of the rest looked like fudge packin wagons

Just read on another site that the reason the cars are being sold before the guy is convicted is due to the $20,000.00 per month storage costs. Seems like it would have made more sense to me to just leave them where they were & lock up the joint until after the trial.

He only owes over $8 million to some investors, a small amount compared to Bernie.
