The charges against Axelrod are unrelated to an unusual deal last year in which he sold the so-called Golden Age Collection of 30 violins, violas and cellos crafted by legendary luthiers Antonio Stradivari, Giuseppe Guarneri del Gesu and others during the 17th and 18th centuries.

 

Golden Age violins?

oh well - this story is all over the jersy papers. the collection in question (fabulous stringed instruments) was personally valued by Axelrod at $50 million and sold to the new jersey symphony for $18million. now even the $18 million is being called into question, although it doesn't seem too far off according to some experts. he's been indicted for numerous tax evasion issues and immediately fled to Cuba with whom we have no extradiction agreement. he's staying at a $60/night hotel where his ship is docked.

 

he sold his Golden Age COMIC collection to Neatstuffcollectibles - look for it soon on E-bay
