| 2009-03-31 |
| Hard to tell whether she is a gangsters moll or a bailed out banker. The ill-gotten gains — Among the items found at the Sheas' home was a collection of designer handbags worth £12,000 — The couple once took a chauffeur-driven Mercedes from their home to Claridge's in London where they spent £6,000 on a weekend stay and a meal in Gordon Ramsay's in-house restaurant — They ran up a £1,095 bill at the Oxo Tower restaurant in Central London, including £850 on a bottle of Cristal champagne — On their driveway stood a £110,000 Aston Martin, a £46,500 4x4 BMW X5 and a Range Rover — They took guests to £5,000 hospitality packages at the Open golf at Hoylake, rock concerts at the MEN Arena and other events — Shea was arrested before they took a £33,000 cruise to the World Cup cricket in Barbados and a grand prix trip to Monaco for which a £6,000 cash deposit was paid — They spent £100,000 on his and hers watches that were encrusted with diamonds. Police officers also found boxes packed full of Rolex, Patek Philippe and Chopard watches |

| #2 Which begs the question; will high profile illegal drug barons (e.g. CEO's of gangs) be subject to the executive compensation limitations that get legislated by the Obama/Pelosi/Reid cabal? |
