Auction of ex-comptroller’s horse operation nets nearly $5 million
CHICAGO (MCT) — More than 300 horses as well as equipment and vehicles from indicted former Dixon treasurer Rita Crundwell’s world-class operation sold for $4.78 million at an auction this week amid a crowd of eager horse enthusiasts from around the world and curious residents of the small northwestern Illinois town.
The proceeds come in addition to the $1.64 million that another 80 of Crundwell’s horses brought during an online auction earlier this month and $800,000 her luxury motor home netted at a separate online auction that wrapped up Tuesday, according to the U.S. Marshals Service.
