https://www.cbsnews.com/news/roger-stones-fbi-raided-florida-home-for-up-for-rent/The Florida house where Roger Stone was arrested in a dramatic predawn raid by the FBI in January is now up for rent. The longtime associate of President Trump is moving out of the Fort Lauderdale residence he leased and into a smaller nearby apartment to save money for his legal defense, his wife wrote in an email last week. Ted Scouten from CBS Miami spotted a "for rent" sign outside the home on Tuesday.
Stone has been appealing for donations to a legal defense fund to help fray his mounting legal costs. Nydia Stone, his wife, sent an email to supporters last week asking them to contribute: "We are facing a two million dollar cost for lawyers in order to fight the bogus charges against my husband who at 66 years old is facing a potential 45 year prison sentence for crimes he did not commit."
She wrote that she is "packing everything we own because we must move into a small apartment which is less expensive and has better security so the days ahead will be busy for me."
Stone was indicted in January on seven federal charges stemming from special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation. He was released on bond and barred from traveling outside certain parts of Florida, New York, Virginia and Washington, D.C., as a condition of his release. Stone has maintained his innocence and vowed to fight the charges.

Considering his lifestyle there might be some unsafe organisms there.

I'd say 70-80 square feet max.

Get a real job for once in your miserable lives. Try something other than grifting.

The OP mentions they have been leasing it, IIRC....

(146,325 posts)10. Stone will soon be living in a very small apartment, indeed.
8'X10' at most, with a built-in all-in-one sink and toilet, a bunk and a bench. It's a furnished apartment, so that stuff won't be needed, I think.
