That thing is just a shrine to tackiness!

The building has potential, though....

Somebody had posted this in another thread.

If the story told about the new owner is accurate, he got set up and screwed by the government.

Who builds a mansion where it snows? Shouldn't all mansions be in warm sunny areas?

As with all of my trips, I was careful, didn't touch a thing, and even wiped my feet... seriously, I'm that dumb.

but I posted pictures from me trespassing!

I'm sure there's alot more to it than the obvious entrapment story that a first year law student could get thrown out of court in twenty minutes.

How the mighty have fallen. I remember Tyson in his heyday, he was on top of the world. Then he decided to bite off more than he could chew, and got himself into trouble.

One of his purchases was the former home of Mike Tyson in 1999 for the price of 1.3 million.

:Q

That's impossible.

It appears that there isn't much more to the story:

So he attempted to sell something legally to someone with criminal ties and the government took his shit and is charging him with laundering?

Yep...he married Robin Givens...or should it be Robin Gimmee...
Snackin on Holyfield's ear didn't help his career much either...

No, he attemped to sell something to someone who said he was a drug dealer and the government took his shit and convicted him of laundering.

I don't understand how he's guilty of money laundering if the FBI agent wasn't actually a drug dealer. What is the definition of entrapment??

I'm not an expert here so I may be wrong but it's to compel someone to do something illegal who otherwise would not have. Which is why I believe the case didn't get thrown out. He was prepared to sell it knowing he was receiving drug money for it. So while he was duped into it, the entrapment falls into a gray area. Should he go to jail? On one hand, he was tricked by the FBI, but on the other hand if that guy wasn't an FBI agent, he would be sitting on drug money.

The government was doing us all a favor, it got those dumb ass commercials for those videos off the TV.
