OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (AP) — A fleet of expensive cars and motorcycles seized from a Kansas City-area accountant has sold for more than $1.4 million.
The U.S. Marshals Service announced the results of last week’s auction on Wednesday. More than 700 bidders from 30 states participated.
The machines that were sold had belonged to Thomas Hauk, who defrauded more than $4 million from clients. Hauk, of Overland Park, Kansas, awaits sentencing after pleading guilty last December to federal fraud charges linked to his on-the-job theft at a financial services company.
The highest winning bid at the auction was $285,000 for a 2006 Ford GT.
Most of the money raised during the auction at KCI Auto Auction in Kansas City, Missouri, will be returned to the theft victims.
