U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson, D-Fla., lost $18 million in a scheme that cheated him and about 120 other investors out of more than $35 million, according to court papers.
The Virginia man who ran the scheme, William Dean Chapman, was sentenced Friday in federal court to 12 years in prison. Prosecutors say Chapman used the money to fund a lavish lifestyle including a Lamborghini, a Ferrari and a $3 million home.

Yay! Can you imagine the tantrum he threw at being ripped off of $18. Million? Oh, to be a fly on that wall. Maybe his wife made a Rob Ford type videotape in case anything ugly happens behind closed doors.

As long as no public money was involved, it’s fine.

It appears he’s still available for scamming. Who gets him next?
