The tale raised some questions at the time because the man magically made it outside with his hands tied behind him even though he claimed he was unconscious. The bad guys tied up his hands, but not his feet. Reports from locals were saying that business was bad since the owner Frank Ricca lost his lottery franchise.
Today the Westchester Journal News is reporting that a bank had already begun foreclosure procedings on the property for a $365,000 mortgage that is in default.
Further, the Journal News found that the State Tax Commission had secured three judgements against Ricca totalling more than $39,000.
Ricca has stopped giving interviews claiming that he is recovering from a concussion and having trouble remembering the events of last Saturday night.
