INDIA: Gold Shirt Tycoon Murdered? A man in India who bought one of the world’s most expensive shirts, a shirt made entirely of gold, was beaten to death after a dispute over money. Datta Phuge, 48, who commissioned the six-pound shirt for $250,000 three years ago, was attacked by 12 men in the western city of Pune in July 2016, according to a report. It appears that one attacker invited the millionaire businessman to a birthday party where he was jumped, stoned and stabbed with a farming tool. Allegedly the fatal beating was over cash, police say. It had taken goldsmiths two weeks to build the T-shirt, which was decorated with six crystal buttons and a gold belt. No, he was not murdered while wearing the golden shirt.
MASSACHUSETTS: Caveat Emptor! Buyer Beware! A fellow by the name of Sean Deglis of the town of Southwick believed the used car he purchased one summer weekend might be a lemon. However, he never expected it to contain 95 hidden packets of heroin that led to his arrest on drug possession charges, said his attorney, Tony LaCasse. Mr. Deglis could not be expected to “hire a drug-sniffing dog to inspect a car before purchasing it,” LaCasse told police.
