Disgraced Congressman's Antiques Hit The Auction Block
Filed under: Auctions
Call it schadenfreude
but it's hard not to take a certain pleasure in watching the ill-gotten gains of disgraced Congressman Randy Cunningham
hit the auction block. Cunningham, who accepted bribes from defense contractors, is currently serving a long
prison term. Cunningham had a lust for antiques and his Oriental rugs and marble-topped armories currently share space in a government
auction warehouse with goods seized in smuggling and money-laundering operations. Cunningham's goods go on sale
Thursday in Santo Dominguez, California. The proceeds from Cunningham's loot will FBI and the IRS (he still owes $1.8
million in back taxes). The list of everything available at the auction can be found here.
