Texas Fraudster Loses His Ill-Gotten 90-Plus Car Collection

A Texas businessman received a 160-month sentence for wire fraud and aggravated identity theft. He agreed to forfeit more than 90 vehicles purchased with fraud proceeds. Seized vehicles include Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Maseratis, and a Dodge Viper. A garage full of exotic cars can say plenty about its owner. In this case, federal prosecutors say it spoke to years of fraud, stolen identities, and money diverted from insurance customers. A Texas businessman has now received more than 13 years in prison over the scheme. His collection of more than 90 vehicles is also headed for a very different future.

VW spent approximately €2 million developing this W10-powered monster. If you saw this E39-generation BMW M5 cruising down the road, you would think it was just like any other and powered by the brand’s beloved S62 V8. However, this M5 hides a big secret under the hood. Instead of a V8, it has a W10 engine from Volkswagen. The story of this M5 starts in 1999 when VW acquired it and set about developing a sedan of its own that could rival it.
