BIRMINGHAM, Alabama - (AP) - Richard Scrushy's fleet of 19 vehicles
has been sold at auction for more than $800,000 to help pay a $2.9
billion verdict against the HealthSouth founder stemming from a
fraud at the rehabilitation chain.
About 800 people registered to bid and more than 1,000 showed up
to watch Thursday as the cars were auctioned off at a Birmingham
wrecker company lot.
The best seller was a 1929 Cadillac with only 3,400 miles on it.
That vintage car sold for $172,500. A judge earlier this year
ordered Scrushy to pay the nearly $2.9 billion civil judgment in a
shareholder lawsuit over the accounting fraud at HealthSouth.
Scrushy wasn't in the crowd: He's serving time in federal prison
for bribery.
