Multimillionaires convicted of slavery lose mansion

This is the type of story that helps make this blog so rewarding.

Remember the perfume tycoons who held their housekeepers as slaves and tortured them? Now, after being convicted in that case, the jury has decided that the multimillionaire Long Island couple must forfeit their expensive mansion. The couple may still face 40 years in prison in addition.

They so deserve it!

They got convicted, and now they're paying. This isn't like the cases where someone accused of a minor drug offense gets their car seized without even going to trial. This time, the defendants got convicted of a serious federal crime, and it's only fair that they lose the property that was used in committing the crime, because it was so serious.
