Fraudster's house for sale

In southwestern Ontario, this house represents the granddaddy of youth sports fraud. It's the upscale place now for sale by the former athletics director for high school sports in the region. He used $800,000 in fees paid by parents for their kids to play high school hockey, football, basketball, etc., to build a spectacular backyard and feed an untraceable lottery ticket buying habit.
If I were a catty comment kind of guy, I'd wonder if the athletics fees I paid on behalf of my two kids count as a downpayment on his house, which is now for sale as reported in The London Free Press.
Proceeds from the sale are supposed to help make some restitution.
