I had the pleasure to meet Rich during my business trips to Atlanta a few years back. He took me to a secret garage where he stored a few very unique 928s, including a pearl white 91 928 S4 Strosek. I will never forget that day!
RIP, Richard!

Your client just got even worse off than he was. Chances of clearing that up dropped off tremendously.

Somebody on Facebook is selling Rich's inventory.
Anybody here have a link?

Could be this ad? Maybe some of his fraud victims can ID some of these cars.

Could be - too bad I couldn't contact the poster.
Last I heard they were transported to Toccoa, GA.

I was at his outdoor place on the Horse farm Sandy owned or leased. Richard had about 30 928s there, I took some photos, he asked me then to not share the photos as it could add to mis/dis information. He was always good to me and we had a good rapport. The engine he provided to me sadly was one of his broken models which I spotted the breakage on the spot, he said we can pull the motor out of the white car and he would give me that one but that would take 2-3 days -- time which I did not want to spend and I felt that would be a shady deal, sometimes taking the short end of the stick is good for the long-run. May his family be filled with love and joy remembering RVM, I considered him a friend. RIP Richard.

People get taken in all the time by cons... They often have personalities/pathologies that seem innocent and like they are doing you a favor. I've been gullible myself on occasion.
NO more!

You all can wax poetic about Rich, but he was sh!theel.
I added up how much money he stole from his friends and customers and got to $100k pretty quickly.
And that's only what I know of. I figure you can double that number if you add in the folks that are too embarrassed to admit he screwed them.

I think I found what's left of the owner's car. I'll know for sure later this week when the owner looks at the VIN on his title.
