- *UPDATE* This mansion was completely destroyed by fire on February 1st, 2017. Watch the news coverage of the fire at: • Video
Exploring an Abandoned $8 Million Mansion in New Jersey. The former owner was sent to prison after the FBI uncovered a multi-million dollar fraud scheme he was running.
This 20,000+ square foot home built in 2002 once contained a gym, home theater, barbershop, a ballroom and a wine cellar, among many other features. In 2009 the mansion was valued at $8 million. It was one of the largest homes in that area. Most homes nearby are valued at about $2 million.
Today, the mansion is now off the market, but is valued at roughly $1 million, a fraction of its original value. In 2009 the owner was charged with wire fraud as part of a mortgage scam he ran netting his company more than $11 million in illegal profits.
He was also later charged with bankruptcy fraud after falsely filing for bankruptcy in an attempt to conceal his assets from a trustee and creditors. He originally claimed he had only $5,000 in cash, no household goods, no jewelry, no vehicles or any other personal assets of any value.
The FBI found he had more than $200,000 in personal assets he deliberately concealed from the court. He was originally facing 20 years in prison and was released on a $1 million bond. Two years later, in 2011 he was sentenced to roughly 5 years in prison, to pay $12 million in restitution, 3 years supervised release, and 480 hours of community service.
His former company served to initiate and fund mortgages for clients by borrowing money from a third party lender. To repay the lender, his company would resell, at a profit, the home mortgage in the secondary mortgage market.
The company made a profit because it earned fees for both the origination and resale of the mortgage. His company used to originate, finance and resell about $90 million worth of mortgages each month. As a result of the housing crisis, his company had its own liquidity crisis in January 2008. According to the FBI, that’s when the scheme began.
In 2008, he began submitting false documents to financial institutions as part of a mortgage re-selling scheme. He created a second set of fake mortgage documents such as loan applications, promissory notes, closing sheets, and settlement forms. He used these to resell mortgages a second time, even though the actual mortgage loan for that property already had been sold.
The illegal funds were wired to his company account, which he used to pay his corporate and personal expenses. His lavish lifestyle caught the attention of the FBI including this mansion, several vehicles, spending $400,000 on special seats at football games, & more.
It appears that as of now, a few years shy of his full sentence, he is out of prison, active on social media promoting his new business venture.

Thanks for watching!
Very nice video !!! You are the best
Do you know why it's not on the market?
im glad ur back
Great video love that you put the details of why it is now how it sits. What kind of camera do you use your quality is amazing
Great video!
Why the fuck people break stuff? What's the point doing that?...
No point at all! They are just crazy and stupid!
Copper inside the walls and selling them as scrap metal I'm guessing
its called being young and doing shit just for the hell of it..theres people dying of cancer wars drug overdoses ect worry about something with more substance
Seriously...these are teenagers doing the vandalizing.
Matilda187
If someone dies to drug overdose, thats not my problem, junkies are useless...
What a sad deal for everyone who invested, and shame on those who destroyed this massive house for no reason.
you exactly took the words out of my mouth why do people always have to trash places like that seriously
This property could be used or sold for good, or important. It's limited thinking to believe the vandals are actually getting vengeance. Revenge would be if the idiot who built it had to watch someone else living there for a fraction of the cost he paid to build it....and watching TRUE success!
Everybody loses I think for senseless destruction like this.. I doubt they'll get 8 million for it now ...
wonder how much to restore
That is the politics !
house is only 14 years old and already ruined by stupid teenagers
You know who did it too, I seen the box of KFC!
It was ruined when they built that ugly, tasteless piece of garbage.
haha Twinkie you're an indiot.
indiot....?
what the hell is that?
it makes me exremly angry to see people do all that graffiti n damage to something not their own.
@Qapss because society
Key point , Not 🚫 theirs so no worry. This should happen to them while their doing it to someone else. Oh that's wright , still live with parents or off of someone else basement 🤣.
As bad as his crimes were too bad the house was not protected and sold
Yup, it could have been used for something very useful, a good usable place gone to waste :/
+Expl0re Life hey I watch your channel I miss Tejas so much anyway I love your vids and I'm subbing right now
Ryan Leslie Aww Thank you :D Yes it's a great state, I couldn't picture myself liviing in another state. I would miss HEB, Whataburger and Dq a lot XD
Yes too bad but it is america way of live…
yes. bad way of live.
I am not into urban exploring but this came up on my feed... what the actual hell is wrong with ppl, i am SO annoyed... this place could have been turned into so many amazing things that can help the community, if it is too expensive for anyone to buy... but now no one would want to touch that piece of shit because of the damage the vandals caused... appalling! Good job in the footage xx
Actually renovating isn't as expensive as u may think.
you've got a lot to learn....

GOONZOOF Thank god it burned down ugliest building I've seen
I never understand vandalism
BEST ABANDONED VIDEO I HAVE SEEN! Excellent focus, smooth movement, no obnoxious commenting or music, low-key information banners, and great flashback shots make the so enjoyable. Thank you very much!
Nancy Fikes My thoughts exactly!
Right on! Couldn't have said it better myself! Yay! Thank you!!!
💯 % agree and I watch a lot of these videos!!!
Nancy Fikes
It nearly hurts to see what vandals did, and the house wasn’t even mine 😳
I liked that u showed pics of how it really looked before it was left how it is or was. Thanks 😊 great job
Those little flashbacks from the house's haydays was a really nice touch, I appreciate it. ;)
I guess $8 Million can't buy taste, that house is ugly af
Same type of people
that's what I was thinking. Butt ugly. no start at all
so wha
Yep. This is exactly the kind of house a criminal would get. It's just big and cheesy, not really great materials used, as evident by the outside of the home. I was shocked when I saw that shitty gutter installation job. People with new money usually don't have taste, and then end up blowing a ridiculous amount on a poorly built house like this one. What a waste. There are many homes for much less that are much better built and have better materials than this oversized trailer home.
+Wofi2090 I guess you weren't paying attention to see the before photos.
Wow, what a waste. Every time I watch videos of this type I think that the state and federal government should give these properties to non-profit organization for battered women's/ men's shelters. No taxes to be collected on builds or property going forward.There are so many uses for these buildings and all we do is line pockets of government officials that use the money to get more money out of the taxpayers. Only to waste 3/4 of the money they collect.
o no they are like gready children must not let any body in- habit the place. they probly don't even know or care what or how many of these they have. that would be a good punishment for the rich when they get into trouble though. ha ha we are going to give your mantion to the needy.
Great idea!
The neighbors would fight it.
You know how many "battered" men and women would "claim" to be "battered' would show up !?!?!
Bitch your stupid as Fuck!! No one cares we ALL through domestic abuse and dysfuctionalism and most of us from Broken families that doesnt mean we deserve a Free ride!! The problem with younger generation americans lazy fucks wanting shit for Free!!!
That was the best abandoned house video!! No talking, steady frame, before pics, and owner 411. FINALLY!
Just subscribed. Well done!
ya but what the hell was the name of the guy who owed this place! I would like to look into it more
Jeff Long lojljjcokl hcbbicbocoho
The people that talk through them always say the dumbest stuff... too funny
Agreed !
right? and he was able to walk around without having to turn the camera on his own face for no reason
I would like to see HGTV do a show called "Abandoned Rehab" or something like that where they would find abandoned homes like this, give the history behind it, and rehab it.
LOL because its out of there budget WAY WAY out lol + trying to feel a massive house like that can get a little hard to get a buyer .
The closest you're going to get is all of the rehab shows like rehab addict.
They should of started off with Amy Winehouse first but that never happened. Soooo....
***** that is why they don't fix it because it is cheaper to tear down but most of the time the City does not want to spend the money so they leave it .
***** the guy that had the house no longer has it so yeah the bank may own it or the City they just don't want to spend the money taking it down so i guess its best to just leave it , that is why there are so many places abandon and just left there
Vandals make me so mad. No respect for property that doesn't belong to them. Doesn't matter that the owner had to walk away.
especially that picture of that girl that was sprayed over
You think that's bad wait till hellery's new world order starts...
I hate that shit too.
Ive been examining abandoned places since long before urbex was even a thing. Nothin like managing to get into a cool abandoned building, and theres stupid tags all over (actual street art im kinda ambivelent about, but I hate tags. No one but you and your stupid friends cares about your stupid tag name, ok?) and shit broken just to break it. The vandalism & copper stripping has always happened, but tagging didnt used to be as common even 10-15 years ago when I first started getting into abandoned places.
it's so fucked up that people have to vandalize all these homes. This house was gorgeous!
It is usually miscreant kids that do this type of thing
This once was a beautiful home. It's amazing what greed & fuckery can get you,yet you lose it at some point. Wrong doings are always short lived. It's also fascinating how white collar crimes receive little jail time& are out in enough time to buy back their property for a fraction of what they paid initially SMH. Great video guys& information. I like how you guys are silent throughout the video& put up info to read,cause others I've watched talked too much & showed less. BRAVO guys👏👏💯
Reminds me of the movie "the Big Short".
Melinda March exactly
Amen sister. #livesinadump
Anyone know the name of this criminal who owned the mansion?
Omg I can't believe people ruin such a beautiful house 😒 I hate seeing abandoned places graffitied and ugly smh
Me too, they , in the end get what they deserve.
I bet there is money some where stashed inside the walls of that place x'D
Me too.
it's like shopping at walmart you get alot for almost nothing
*_same_*
WOW what a shame to wreck and ruin such a beautiful home when they're so many homeless people in the world ...
Exactly--homeless non-druggy people could benefit from this
The homeless people couldn't afford the property tax, let alone the utility bills. It would cost more than $100k/year just to keep the lights on and the government out, not to mention maintenance.
@olskoolnewpaint. thats rude asf dude... no need to say that...
The homeless people you feel sorry for, would turn the mansion into a heap of ruins and pigpen inside one month.
You really think there's an abundance of homeless people in this neighborhood?
The house has a 'cold' feel to it. Like its never been lived in, a negative vibe. Definitely a house..NOT a home!
I feel chills when I was looking the video
My Love n
Dead bodies
Maybe too big for the warmth of two. I would need a family in there. But beautiful.
So incredibly angering to see this gorgeous mansion just destroyed!!!
As I like your videos , I feel so calm, alone , as if I were walking those places , I love the silence,the wind and the steps !. it relaxes me
Yea it is beautifull You should try it yourself i have been doing urban exploring and i realy found ma passion in life :o Now i am in love with history and architecture :)
I refer to myself as moon child (:
pppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp
Am I the only one who actually really likes this house? I think it's stunning and so different. Very unique
Yea I think this mansion is absolutely stunning
Love the house, especially the bathroom at 19:58 Just a shame the property been left to rot.
I almost cried seeing this place being wasted
. Such a dream home
Absolutely amazing home
debbie peter $
This is disgusting what the courts should have done is had the house auctioned off to pay back who he had effected . But instead they allowed this house to be vandalized and valueless . Ps I can't stand vandals .
Shabb3r a criminal? respect? please
The government is not very bright... at anything.
how would all you trespassers like it if while you were out so called exploring (trespassing) someone broke in or just walked in your place doing the same thing? it's not yours stay the Frick out. go get a job or do some help for the old, the weak or just stay home.
Very difficult to find a buyer without an extensive criminal record who would actually want to live in a place like this.
PUREBUTTERFLYSPIRIT Sometimes people actually vandelize their own home when loosing it
Wow so beautiful, hate when they come in and start spray painting and destroying such beautiful places🤨😠🥺🤦♀️
By far the best abandoned mansion video i've seen to date. There was no commentary in which you repeated yourself over and over, pointing out the obvious and no assumptions made about what you thought things in the house may have been used for only to be hilariously inaccurate. You brought only the facts and i loved how you were able to find pictures of it in its prime. Good stuff!!
Glad to hear you enjoyed it. Your comment is much appreciated!
TheUnknownCameraman I agree. A great video.
TheUnknownCameraman gr8 how much info u have on owner and how u arent scared to enter these places
MI5LED yeah i like this guy. jus found himm . no commrntary n crazy selfies
Must be a bad black neighborhood close by. You can tell by the type of spraypaint style.
And this ladies and gentlemen is why Italians should NOT be allowed to be interior designers....
how do you know the designer was Italian? Lol
Lets just say I have a pretty good hunch.
There was a bar mitzvah card in the office, and a book in another language that definitely wasn't Italian so idk what ur talking about😂😂
What is a *WOP?*
All i can think of is "i'd totally grab that unused marble and re-do my kitchen" 😂
great vid man! first vid i see, and totally following
same
Exactly what I thought...lol
and "What kind of mansion doesn't have a pool?"
Chloe G i was thinking the same...all those cabinets, doors, woodwork and granite!!!
Lol, I was thinking the same thing. It is enough square feet of marble to do my kitchen, and bath rooms. Hell the hold house for that matters, and still there is a lot left over. But on the real side though, it is a damn shame how someone or people trashed that beautiful home.
Do all of you want to be thieves and vandals too by stealing from this home?
Good job filming this. If I can just make one suggestion to keep the captions on the screen for a bit longer. Otherwise great job 👍🏻
The destruction and vandalism makes me sad why are people like this
The most beautiful homes are usually owned by the most evil people.
both are ugly to the bone/foundation
No, that's honesty speaking.
NGsM31 anyone who liked your brainless comment is an idiot just like you. also what you said make no sense seeing how I watched the video before making my comment. you stfu and gtfo
Does anyone ever look for a hidden space or stash room? I'm always wondering if there might be valuables left behind. lol
giovannis62. I thought the same thing. lol with a shady background ya have to wonder if something is hidden in the walls
Unreal how someone would vandalize this place like that uncalled for.....
02.02.2018 Drone captures burned remains of $8M Colts Neck mansion : ruclips.net/video/-R7pE8uAXgw/видео.html
B Taylor - Agreed. Years ago, it would’ve been crumbled by the elements over time, but not vandalized.
The place is an architectural nightmare incorporating many classic styles and periods into a confusing mishmash. It’s not easy on the eye.
Some people do suck!! Its terrible they gotta ruin everything!!
@@antifalse160 Ashes
Weather was going to destroy it anyway so get off your high horse, TRASH!
Ugh makes me sick to see all the damage done by vandalism. Gorgeous mansion.
For the people who once lived there it must be hard to see their home with all the trash and graffiti ...
The people that once lived there are facing prison time because they had stolen money from fraud schemes.
he had 5 years prison from 2011 and probably out by now and might have seen.
I bet his children weren't facing prison and didn't have a choice on what their father did...
Why should those children be able to benefit from the proceeds of his crime in any case?
GermanCube yeah I lived there once I was a baby though
This house proves money and good taste don't go hand in hand.
You said it all in that statement. It is just tacky everywhere.
Super Gotti! The bathroom sinks were hideous.
@ranlive1-No, it was just a man who picked out everything that's all! lol... He must adore the wood look ugh...
Agree 100%
19:10 proves it. 💩😁💩
Why in the holy fuck of macarena would people vandalize this mansion??? There is no point for destroying this house.
beacuse the entire thing is white. perfect for spray paint, everything color shines. Even if someone bought it, itd still need new paint regardless of graffiti
I think he talks about the windows and all the glass/wood stuff they ruined. The holes on the walls, the floors, etc...
For the same reason that low life losers vandalize anything...because they are losers and they have no respect for anything. I love watching these videos of abandoned houses and every one of them I've seen have been destroyed by idiots. Sad.
JJ Anthony maybe cause it's abandoned you fuck tard
VII_Lupe so Abandoned = do whatever the fuck you want with it. *noted*
I think it supposed to be in the style of a Roman Villa. Judging by all the exterior stonework. All the arches and low walls with flat stone is exactly how the Romans stack their stone. Also all the holes in the interior walls were created by the FBI looking for stash
love how you have the before and after pictures
that's cuz it's all over the web. place is in new jersey
The property this home is on seems so serene and peaceful. It really would make an amazing rehabilitation center, safe haven for battered women, bed and breakfast even! I hope someone buys this, great fixer upper.
That's exactly what I was thinking!!! What an awful waste of such an amazing place!!!! I would love to be able to take a place like that and open a home for battered women and children, help mother's get on their feet and keep their families together so they won't end up in foster care. This is my dream, it hits close to home with some devastating experiences that I've been through in my 49 years of life. If I were rich or could possibly get grants or something that would be my totally devoted dream!! If ANYONE that happens to read this and has any suggestions or has any information that could help me make this possible please let me know!!! I have all the time in the world and I'd be totally devoted. Please give me input...cause this has been weighing on my heart for a few years now. But I don't know how to go about it or begin...
I hate it when people ruin places like this with graffiti. It's not cool, and it is not art.
Agreed. Damned shame. People have no appreciation for the beauty in that place.
Youth of today have low IQs..and no respect.. Thats what happens when culture marxists invaders from kenya mix with
American youth...
Low IQ scores and endless amounts of time since they have nothing to offer the workforce. They just let the rest of society work to pay taxes for their food stamps, etc. Then as a thank you they spend their time destroying things and bringing society down even more which is all they know. They are happy spending their lives hateful and jealous of anyone who has anything nice. In my opinion anyone caught vandalizing things should be lined up and fucking shot. They are just a burden on society, have no purpose, and wouldn't be missed by anyone.
i hate it when people prey on those who have encountered misfortune
this place was ugly to begin with
Vandels just break my heart. That was an awesome mansion before they showed up.
Cindie JO : WHEN YOU KNOW STYLE A HOUSE LOOKS PERFECT.!
That house to Me Is a TOTAL waste of money.!!!
break my heart the original owner was a criminal
Cindie JO it’s burnt down now
Awesome mansion? Correction: it was An Awful Mcmansion.
Well, how would you really know ???? Mmmmm
THANK YOU for not talking and repeating the same thing over and over for 28minutes!!!!!
scandalous what these vandals do , pitiful small people, who hate.
What's pitiful about what they did? They broke into the house of a man that screwed over the innocent, and they gave him a little of what he deserved, by damaging his property.
+TheAdamusPrime that property is no longer his. it belongs to a mortgage company. Vandalism is theft. What kind of people raised you?
stop crying over spilled milk chump
+Tracy Perkins Agree. And it looks like teens/druggies/parties happened in there. What a waste
Charlie Passeri
Watch the edge there, you might get cut.
Btw I am always impressed on how you research your places and share the back stories with us, awesome as always
NoFcksGiven i
I can't believe someone would actually go into a house and literally destroy it ! There's not one room that doesn't have holes in the walls or graffiti
the staircase and landing overlook make the area "short and squat". that is bad design on the architect's part, unless the owners said "It's cool", then they are both lacking in taste. Shame that vandals destroyed the glass works, even though they are not custom made ad can be bought off the rack. they are still nice. Some things are too "over the top" like the fancy baroque doorknobs. This house has no real style or character. but that is how the .com and mortgage millionaires were. They just did BIG and TASTELESS to show off.
TheUnknownCameraman, you do an awesome job filming! I like how you take your time panning a room, it gives us an opportunity to see everything and I love the information you provide. Thank you and looking forward to more of your videos! Also I love that you post before pictures when the building was in its glory.
Thank you! Thanks for watching!
I enjoyed the video not only for the content, but mostly that you guys don't speak throughout the whole thing thank you very good stuff!
Hey this looks looks like Scarface’s balcony🤷🏽♀️
Yes it does
Right! I said the same thing. It looks like a Drug Kingpins house. It's gaudy to me.
The mansion is gorgeous. I feel so sad that people always need to ruin the abandoned houses!
are you blind??? its heinous! gaudy and tacky
Finally a video where the shooter don't want to be the centre of attention
The otherside of MTV Cribs.
mikedizzle for real though 😂
Ganja Mama hi momma
I bet that main room was packed full of stippers and orgies at one time.
Abbe Edelman is his name. Sentenced to 13 years
Kayden’s Kaos Korner I just read all about him. He was basically a mini Madoff.
This was David Findel’s house
Why do people want so much shit? I can understand wanting to be comfortable, but big extravagant homes and furnishings and other unnecessary extravagant shit is just that much more shit to have to deal with it.
Smiles2U4Ever can't knock it unless you are able to acquire it yourself.
It's the pathology of a mental illness. People with the sickness are no different than someone addicted to drugs - a little more each time because the previous dosage just doesn't cut it anymore. And each time they tell themselves, "It'll be the last time." Or "I'll quite after this once."
badweetabix, ppl which can afford mansions as this beauty, have Tax Write offs! Take these multi millionaire plus, actors etc. Have houses as these in many places so the up keep and taxes are helping them from paying extraordinary taxes to our country! It's alway been said! Had not for the middle class hard working human beings are the ones which pay the most taxes!! The multi rich as the one which have these beautiful homes, they hire ppl to care for it and That brings in jobs more tax write offs! The poor cannot pay tax for they have no money! So, middle call again have to carry the weight!! As one writer wrote is true! If this is owing so much money to our government or ppl then do not allow such desecration to his mansion! Allow someone wealthy buy this beautiful home and they'd make up the money to pay his debt!! This home is magnificent! Had not idiots which enjoy vandalizing this beautiful home! No it's not my style yet, it's a, shame to allow trash ppl ruin this wealthy home!! Had I, this kind of money I'd buy it!! Shame!
Smiles2U4Ever ...look at me complex.
Yes SLuG ,b but when the money belongs to someone else , it is sickening . If this is the one I think it is , this fellow left many folks with empty savings accounts. I would never trust one person or business with all my money , if I had any. I saw an episode of American Greed and believe this guy was on there , spending other peoples money.
Spray paint should be sold by prescription only. Wonder what will be done with this amazing place.
I can't agree more. Spray paint only for workers and artists with degree. They oughtta pay for a street art permit and be able to fully access to the cadastre to know whether the abandoned places are eligible for a temporary painting exposition. Spray paint forbidden to fuckwits and edgy kiddoes who are only good to draw penis or write their name. With my system, youth would be quickly aware of how much these tools are precious and funny to master. Free the street art makers! They aren't vulgar vandals!
and what about the artists that understand a piece of paper that says you're capable of making art is a waste of time/money when in the end it's all about the application and the work itself? If they don't have a useless degree how do they get their paint?
carole Hayden if I had $1,000,000+ I'll buy it & push it back to it 8mill value I'll rather da profit den to actually live in it
+TehGameSauce
You raise interesting points, so allow me to answer them with this account, Waldo. Haha.
I understand how getting a degree only to make graphs on derelict places seems apparently to be a waste of money and time. However, what you disregard in your mental representation is how this degree can be multi purpose: for instance, open prospects for applied arts (ergonomy & design of everyday items), advertisement & visual communication, setting design for various events, journalism on art magazines...
Here's what would be the subjects of this degree:
- history of art (to sharpen aesthetic sensitivity and bring awareness)
- spray paint practice
- drawing & applied arts
- initiation to architecture mapping (the gifted ones can be reoriented for architecture studies. Not a primordial subject in comparison to the others)
- Fine arts (more room left to express creativity without constraint)
- Literature (it's a close parent of all other arts. It comes in completion of History of arts)
The fact paint is being restricted conditions desire. Is it forbidden to most fuckwits? It inevitably becomes appealing!
Indeed, it would either put forth delinquency or inspire the better ones to give their all for their passion's sake. That's the latter aspect which matters, because no matter we do, there's always a harmful minority... Art shall be something you seek excellence and find official recognition for, not something left to lazy dunces or pretentious scoundrels like it is today. Believe me, a generation or two of this regime would bring around a dramatical boost in artistical creativity...
ummm that's tresspassing...
Soooooo beautiful, why would anyone want to tear the place up??? Young punks with nothing better to do destroyed this nice home. I'm wondering why it hasn't been sold before all this happened to it.
Wow! the woodwork and ornate cabinetry in the kitchen was mind blowing! I get really excited when I see a beautiful kitchen because I love to cook.
91 K in property taxes a year. When can I move in ? lol
lol yup. most of us couldn't afford this place even if it was given to us for free.
Yeah, $91,000 a year in property taxes is a lot. But the way I see it, if a person can afford a multi-million dollar home, that person more than likely wouldn't have a problem paying such high property taxes.
Just to give you an idea of what I mean. If a person has $20 million in the bank, and that person bought a $250,000 home. Due to the average bank interest rate, by the end of the month, that person actually spent $250 for that home. Pretty crazy. Huh? lol
he was making 90 million a month. insane!!!
And to put him making $90 mil per month into perspective.. He got that house for FREE! Insane.. Exactly!
His company sold $90m worth of mortgages a month. That's not his margin and profit from the sales. He got a % of that from fees and other charges, which I'm sure was divided between himself and a few employees. Either way, even if they were only netting 3% of that $90mil a month, they are still making beaucoup dollars a month.
Excellent video. Provided background and history while showing before and after photos. Just excellent!
I bet there's a hidden room in there somewhere!
And stash of money probably
I would of checked the bedroom for a safe..and the walls for a secret opening to a safe room!..
I thought the same thing!!
no chance. pretty sure the fbi did their job and there's pretty much nothing left.
You did a fabulous job with the filming, flashbacks of how it once looked and background info. I truly enjoyed your presentation!
Sad that people are such disrespectful moron’s to vandalize this once beautiful mansion! Too bad they weren’t caught! Disgraceful!
Mountain Girl too bad they were shot on the spot
@@karenhargis3682 I agree It is a beautiful mansion but paid for by greed and deception by your typical corrupt and greedy banker. Now whether the owner was ripping off other banks or regular folks like you and I remains to be seen none the less the greed was evident and the owner got sent to prison for it.
Or were they???? Who knows
Only Our lord God Jesus Christ of course
That place was nice before to bad someone couldn't of bought it before the vandals came and destroyed it.
This is why they will not have anything this nice.
who breaks in and smashes people's property
pieces of shit!
is it on sale?
Since the gov't seized the property, it is now owned by either gov't, banks and/or people owed restitution (for when it's finally sold). So-called abandoned property always belongs to someone.
Its mainly drugs addicts, teenagers who run into these abandon places, they trash the place leave there evidence behind with graffiti as a mark that they were there.
Teenagers without respect 😭🙈
Unknown Cameraman, you are the only one who pans slowly enough for your viewers to see things. I'll be subscribing! Keep up the good work. Very interesting stuff. Thanks.
I just want them to slow down the writing, some of us don't read so fast anymore
I love seeing abandoned places. The before and after pictures are great. It’s a shame that people have to destroy things.
Wish Movie Stars pitched in to repair (tax write off) ,Let someone buy it ,with the money buy land,give proceeds to help build tiny homes 350 or 400sq ft and give to our deserving homeless Vets.
I hate how people always feel that famous people need to spend their money such as this. It's their money. They can do with it what they want. Besides, most of them support multiple charities anyway.
Agree
Yeah!
THIS PLACE HAS A LOT OF POTENTIAL, VERY BEAUTIFUL MOLDINGS AND FIXTURES
How can you get one of those house's
@Paulie’s Walnutz please read the info, this place burned down in Feb. 2017.
Not moldy but an empty field.
Not for nothing, but this place goes to show you. You cant buy taste. The taste this person had was picked out a catalog and he said, why not I want the whole thing. The colors and materials used are out there. In either case, places like this cannot be sold. Its cheaper to build you own how you like it than buy this mess.
I was waiting for someone to mention this. That is one tacky house that someone with a lot of money and no taste would build. He could have built a castle or a tudor mansion. But noooo, let's build something that looks cheap and gaudy.
dude who built it was a Jew... not known for having the best of tastes in things. The whole thing is just awful. Only way it could have been worse was if the guy was a NY Guido .
yep thats what the owner did, built his home the way HE liked it..not you! So have fun in your shoebox, loser!
Leg Opener yeah and he did it with stolen "Jew gold".. now no one can even sell it the way it looks.. ha ha
thats not the debate here...Gloomshadow100
God this is the most beautiful abandoned house I’ve ever seen & it’s been completely vandalized 😩😩
great video best one ive seen and love the before an after pics.. such a beautiful home gone to waste.
That place is humongous..what a waste! I wonder how long he actually lived there?
Wow!! I wish I had the money to live there and fix it up!!!!
Who was he that lived here?
Just proves crime doesn't pay. Imagine having all that and knowing that any minute you could loose the lot because it was funded illegally. I don't have much but what I do have I've got honestly. Shame about the building. As someone else mentioned it could of been used for the community
Wow I'm saddened this doesn't have more likes! I completely agree!
It looks like it was used by the community.
Ps are you related to bill crosbie? The famous black one.
Right around the corner, back in 2001 to brothers where killed by" visitors" from Columbia over a drugs
He sold a house twice! How did he think he was going to get away with that!?
I agree with everything you said except the “it could of been used for the community” you think they build $8 million dollar mansions in the hood naw the community this house was in is well off and could give a shit about this place
I saw that it had burned down. Well, I think its better off that way. I cannot stand seeing a beautiful house trashed by gangs and vandals. Its stupid, childish, and just downright sad. Better off burned.
If it were to eventually burn down then what difference does graffiti make?
Would it be better to be a mint house that burned?
@@king-emperorbotolfzainisem730 well that's some logic lol!
@@king-emperorbotolfzainisem730 Ugh, what he's saying is that the graffiti ruined it so he's glad it burned. Cuz it was an eyesore. Nothing about a nice house being burned.
it's made of marble how the hell did it burn down
Shame for the hard work carried out by the craftsmen.
Damage shown in video , shows mostly easy repaired.
Most dry lining damage.
But nocked millions off for new owner.
Do vacant properties get taxed for property tax.
If it is burned down now, still a lovely building site/lot
That house is ugly
From the panel on down ...
8million dollars of ugliness....
That's why no one wants it
Not even at a million.....
Since it's just sitting there some of the nearby homeless should take shelter...
Nothing but a waste of space ....
The Feds didn't leave not a lick of furniture 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Not even a picture on the wall ....
When they clean house they clean house .....
And why do people build like that
All that waste of open space down stairs
Meanwhile the rooms are small.....
Smh
Gotta seize that property for uncle sams wars I guess
There are no nearby homeless shelters here, it's a ritzy area
I don't think its all that bad...in its prime. I've seen far worse...
to each his /her own ... The before pictures of this property looked awesome ! Like a drug kingpin's house...Ashame to see it go to waste ..
What is up with all the penis and ball depictions on the graffiti ( How unoriginal )
This place burned down February 2, 2017. What a waste. Very beautiful home.
Damn
Where was this place
Imagine if this house wasn't vandalized and someone could fix it up! It would be beautiful
All Around SQUAD yeah I'm surprised the Feds didn't seize the house and sell it to pay off his debt. What a waste. Beautiful home gone to waste
Only thing is property tax per year on this is at least 100k
It's a pretty mediocre home. The materials are cheap, including the wood in the office.
Agree, material build looks fancy but fake
Thank you, spot on.
I just don't understand WHY people can't just come in & look & leave? Why do they tear up everything? I believe people that do this (punk kids, adults too) get off on it, sick minds! I would BET that house could be fixed up you think?? maybe sheetrock, paint, some sinks & cabinets here & there? maybe $100-125k...plus clean up the house & yard! Why didn't someone take over the property? I suppose he don't own it anymore? I would buy it if cheap enough to buy & fix! How long has it been abandoned?
The problem with that is the 91k per year property tax. Over 7k per month just for taxes.
+Melissa Salcedo That is ridiculous, no wonder the property sits unsold. But, I'm sure you'd get $7k/a month worth of services from the local government, lol. Local governments need to live within their means instead of soaking homeowners with absurd property taxes.
In PA, the voters approved casino's in return for property tax relief. What we got was a bigger, still hungry for more, government and higher property taxes. When a state government official asked publicly, "where is the money", she was charged with corruption and taken out of office to shut her up.
Here, we essentially rent our homes from the local government. Don't pay your extortion money, I mean property taxes, and they take your home. About 40% of my mortgage is property taxes now, it's ridiculous.
Isn't it! It's hard enough paying for the monthly house payment plus gas, water, and electric plus trash and everything else on top of that the property taxes which I would've thought would be included in the house payment not as an add on.
Taxes are paid from an escrow account that is added to the mortgage. And yes, after all the bills, other taxes, food, daycare, etc..., there is nothing left. Getting sick of working overtime to cover increasing taxes. Apparently, the people who write the rules are either; a) exempt from taxes, or b) have enough money that getting soaked doesn't hurt much.
I don't understand it either and it's usually envious people that are mad because they will never have anything like this usually entitled socialist and communist
Wooow Such A Beautiful Property 😀 Absolutely Sickening To See The Mindless Disstruction , if Children Or Teenagers Did All That Damage, i Think They Should Be Caught & Held Accountable for The Damage, if They Don't Have The Money To Pay for What They Have Done, Then They Should Be Made To Clean it Up with Any Others involved, & There Parent's Made To Pay for The Damages,
It's About Time These Kids Were Made To Respect Other People's Property, Not Vandalise Out Of Frustration & Jealousy, & i Think Because The Parent's Haven't Tought There Children Properly, So They Must Foot The Costly Damages Bill That There Children Have Caused,
I Think This is Only Fair ☺
Seriously hate kids these days. Why vandalise something, just because you can? It's so sad, this home was so beautiful! I want to buy it and do it up, but I'd be scared because what if the gangster gets out of jail and wants his house back
Hes already out watch to the end. .and from the description this guy isn't a gangster. He's just a criminal. It said he had a new business venture and was active on social media.
+David Vermillion yeah I know I was just joking?
It's a stunningly beautiful home. Just imagine what it looked like prior to the vandalism.
To the Unknown Cameraman: Really like your videos. Please when showing those 'before' photos, give them about 5 seconds or longer. Thanks
Or you could just pause the video. That's what I do.
True, but not practical in my environment.
Or side by side shot for easy comparison
It's ugly and gaudy. I guess money can't buy good taste.
the house was beautifull, i doubt you could do any better.
Are you gay dude , you are commenting on everyones insults of the place as if you decorated it . The place is shit and a waste of money get over it .. YOU have bad taste and so did the owner . lol
therealmogreen
no , i just have a problem with people being jealous and talking shit about things that they can never afford :)
"taking shits on stuff they cant afford" .. It has spray paint all over it. Its in the middle of a shitty state , and its ugly . If you had the money would you buy that ? NO . thats the point of decoration . Jealous would be a house you want if you had the money . lol fruit .
therealmogreen Youre still jealous! :)
This house is never ending no end point fucken huge man. That bathroom was lit asf massive
I hate these tenagers who vandalize abondoned property.
I wouldn’t say that these are teenagers who do that, but mostly people who like to vandalize or try out “new forms of art”. Some people just don’t care much about others and think that if the place is abandoned it serves no more purpose than to be demolished. I do consider actual Graffiti artists, artists. They put time and effort to do their work, but these scribbles on the wall are pointless.
What a shame. To bad these vandals couldn't be caught destroying property and put in jail.
THESE WEREN'T RANDOM TEENS...THERE WAS TOO MUCH ANGER & VANDALISM IN EVERY ROOM FOR IT TO HAVE BEEN RANDOM...THE OWNER SHYSTERED MANY PEOPLE IN HIS FRAUD BUSINESS...I'D SAY, FROM THE ANGER DISPLAYED IN EACH ROOM, IT WAS SOMEONE WHO HE HAD TAKEN FOR A RIDE, AND IT WAS PAYBACK...REVENGE...;)
@@layna8924 okay...the grafiti of Snoopy and Charlie Brown in the kitchen was definitely angry revenge spray painting, the Chinese take out phone number spray painted on a was another example of angry revenge grafiti...the heart in the formal area was quite disturbing....smh
How do you even know it was teenagers to begin with? 🤣🤦🏾♂️
So very sad. To have it all...become greedy, unappreciative, and leave it to ruins. The evil that men do.
what tacky architecture - my god the interior is even worse . It all looks like injection molded Styrofoam - demo time
Totally demolish the place,all the $$$ went into labor and the flooring,the rest is just rock and wood,no way to refurbish this tacky waste of $$$
For $8m he could have done so much better. I've been in a house that was a shitload nicer than this and it was only roughly $1m. It wasn't 20,000 sq ft, but still.
agreed !!!
lmao those gutters
kaiserbill5711 TACKY! Perfect adjective for this monstrosity.
Did not enjoy this tour the person videoing it didn’t tell anything about the house I won’t be watching his tours again👹
When I see this kind of 'GRAFFITI', I'm sorry, but it makes me wonder, what, if any, kind of PARENTS do these 'THUGS' have? And I would think they would have ALOT of better things to do than DESTROY someone's home, even a 'CRIMINAL'S!!!! What they did would also be considered 'CRIMINAL' from where I'm sitting!!!!
i think the reason people destroy these places is they despise the owner for stealing the money off the backs of the little guy to build them
Or they are the spoiled little rich kids from the neighboring million dollar homes who felt like being little doushebags lol judging from the pathetic cock & balls graffiti and use of profanity, I'm guessing the vandals were low to mid teens. Or completely mentally challenged lol
what makes you say that? not all rich people are those you see on tv. In fact they are the minority. The majoriy of richies out there are self forged, not made nor self made. Your mentality won't forge anything.
I live in a 1200 Square foot apartment..This is a big joke.
Exactly and we should get to live in his house ..I will get the North Wing and you can have the South wing..
+Matthew Montgomery you think that bad i be living in a apartment swarming with people small as hell but it's comfy and cozy there's room.... just not legAl bedroom
Despite the damage it is a Stunning home.
There are probably hidden rooms behind those book cases in that library/office @ 9:16-11:13
amazing you can go from living there to a 6 x 10 cell
Ppl are so mean. Totally ruined this beautiful home.
I was thinking the same thing the whole time.....
It's quite disturbing how a lot of you can't see how someone can vandalize such a beautiful home, but don't have any problem with the douchebag who was living there who ripped off other people with mortgage scams. You guys have warped morals and values. I have no hope for humans.
Really sad to see such a beautiful home destroyed.
so sad to see such a beauty in such decay.
How could the bank allow that property to be destroyed like that?
Your tax dollar covers that thank to Bill, he repell the glass segla act, 1997. For the banks, to sell all the notes into the secondary market, in seconds. It's not a accident the fake banks went down in 2008. Check for your self. I told people about this coming, 2004.
I.B. Cordero they take homes back and let them rot away. They collect big property tax liens in the former owners names also! No insurance so if there's a fire, oh well...
It really bugs me how people disrespect such a beautiful place. Even if you're a squatter, why not try to keep the place as nice as you can? Rather than spray paint stupidity on the walls....
Makes me so sick the damage done by vandals
