Convicted health exec’s art holdings up for bid
A Philly auction house is set to sell off the art collection of a health care executive convicted of fraud.
He may be in jail now, but his favorites can still hang on your wall.
Richard Scrushy’s collection will be auctioned off Sunday by Freeman’s in Philadelphia with proceeds going to HealthSouth and its shareholders. HealthSouth won a $2.9 billion civil judgment against Scrushy in 2009 after he was convicted on federal corruption charges. An appeals court last week threw out two bribery convictions but let most of the corruption charges stand.
The items are on display through Saturday.
