Zimmy sold his "artwork"for $100,000...proof there's a sucker born every minute.

1. I hope that the artists whose image he stole will sue him for that money.

2. I still think it was a shill buyer.

3. Some people have suggested

that there are people who wanted to give him large amounts of money but had no good way to do so, and that the ebay auction was set up to give them a method. That it wasn't a true auction as we think of it but an excuse for someone to give him $100,000.

4. Sounds reasonable....

Fortunately, as with any criminal who beats the system, 100K will ultimately not be enough. There is simply too much chaos surrounding this....person.

And then he'll commit another crime and probably go down for it, his fan base will pretend they never knew him, and he'll end up as a "where are they now" tv subject.

But not before he ruined a bunch of other peoples' lives.

8. Bingo. nt

9. Interesting theory, but who, and why?

What possible reason would anybody want to give him 100 grand for?

11. I agree. Hope the IRS is aware.

If he tries to screw the IRS things could become interesting.

5. Perhaps he bought it himself

It has been known to happen on ebay

6. Obviously we don't tax the rich enough.

If they can spend discretionary money on Zimmerman's art, they have too much money. Buying that stuff should be painful.

Just sayin'

7. Which DUer bought it?

10. The country has 5-6 times the population of Barnum's time...

...so these days it's more like every 10-12 seconds.
