Deliberately Crashing Your Veyron Into A Lake Is A Good Way To Get A 20 Year Prison Sentence

Remember that bizarre Bugatti Veyron lake crash from 2009? According to reports, Andy House, the car’s owner, has just pleaded guilty to fraud, which could see him go to prison for as long as 20 years.

House, who owns an exotic car salvage company, originally claimed to have swerved into Gulf Bay near La Marque, Texas, to avoid a low-flying pelican. This was shown to be false when the footage at the top of this page emerged, with said bird notably absent. His insurance company smelled a rat and eventually sued House for insurance fraud in a lawsuit that also claimed he attempted to bribe someone to steal and torch the hypercar.

A sentencing date is yet to be set.
