As you may have heard, Young Buck, (formerly?) a member of G-Unit, currently owes the IRS close to $200K in taxes. Well, maybe more like $147K now, since the feds apparently auctioned off all of his property of any worth, netting close to $53 stacks in the process.
Some sources stated that the name "Young Buck" was sold as well, but that turned out to be false. (Who the fuck would buy that?) The majority of the items were electronics and jewelry, including a custom "615" chain and medallion. This is different from the spinning "YB" chain, which is different from the spinning G-Unit chains that 50 gave to the crew. (Although, I believe that as a rule you had to get robbed for those chains, unless you were Tony Yayo.) The real bidding war was for hard drives, which normally wouldn't be worth much, but the bidders believed that the drives contained music that they would be able to sell. (If it was that easy, Young Buck would actually sell music.) Unfortunately for these bidders, (but fortunately for anyone with ears) the drives had all been wiped clean already.
Somehow, most of these items were purchased and returned to Buck. His manager purchased the chain and several other items back for him, but I have a feeling that these purchases are all being charged to Buck, with interest. So if you missed out on this auction, you'll probably have another chance before long.
Here's some news coverage of the event. The most hilarious part is probably the white guy who's a "hardcore Young Buck fan." (Pause).
