Sale of 1956 Ferrari Heart of Theft Trial

What an incredibly badly written story!

Edit: Yes, it IS interesting stuff, thank you for posting the link. But the writer and the editor should go back to school.

 

seriously! I read this quote in the second paragraph - " from the now-deceased Chinetti Sr.'s son." - and thought "Coco's dead? When did that happen?" I assume that, having read his testimony later in the article, he is still with us . . .

 

The story paints Coco either as a fool or an idiot. I don't think he is either.

 

This story sounds all-too-familiar, and that has me asking : are the senior/wealthy really too 'busy' to mind their own finances? Who sells a multi-million dollar car, and doesn't bother to collect proceeds or look into where the money went? I have friends, too, but they don't share my bank account......

 

IMO the article does slant the story in that direction. This one spins it somewhat differently:

Poor Coco, I would have restored them without stealing his money that is sad......

He can come live in Lady Valeria's spare cottage.......
