Fugitive Mastro’s Lavish Lifestyle on Display at Auction

Whatever you may have lost in the great recession, it’s not likely to compare to what’s being given up by Seattle-based developer Michael Mastro, who owed creditors an estimated $570 million when the market tanked and pulled a D.B. Cooper, vanishing along with two diamond rings valued at $1.4 million and enough gold bullion to shame King Midas.
