ARSONIST ARRESTED FOR DESTROYING MILLIONS

We don’t normally cover this kind of stuff, but we figured that anytime arson is involved it’s worth mentioning. In 2005, Mark Anderson set fire to a huge warehouse where wineries and collectors had paid him to store their wine. Apparently, Mark had been selling the wine behind his customers’ backs, and therefore decided that burning the warehouse and all the wine within was the only way to undo this injustice.

The warehouse contained 6 million bottles of wine owned by 92 wineries and 43 private collectors, adding up to a whopping $250 million in losses.

Since then, Mark was charged with 19 felonies, including arson, interstate transportation of fraudulently obtained property, fraud and tax evasion, in a federal court. He was arrested at his home on Friday.
