Even if he's convicted of swindling millions of dollars from Brooke Astor while she was alive, Anthony Marshall still stands to pocket millions more from his mother's death - money that only his aging trophy bride may get to enjoy.

Marshall, 83, was indicted earlier this week on charges he took advantage of his philanthropist mother's "diminished mental capacity" in the years before her death this past August "in a scheme to defraud her and others out of millions of dollars."

Prosecutors charge Marshall and a once-suspended lawyer named Francis Morrissey conspired to get Astor to make changes to her will in 2004 that shifted tens of millions of dollars from charity to Marshall.

What a headline...

Try this one on you savvy journo: "If covered by your hand over your eyes, the sun will still rise tomorrow morning."

Old John Jacob Astor would be SO proud!

No, I'm not being facetious: He probably WOULD have been proud!

On the Astor thing, I think they should let
him donate the money to charity.

On the oil thing, parking the car has
never seemed like a better idea...

Judging from the picture, I'm guessing the guy has about 4 months of 'reaping' left in him.

Any reason to jack the price.

Any excuse any time.

Bastards.

I find it odd that a lot of times when the oil prices go down, something happens and the price of oil shoots up. We have had more fires this year than ever before. Or the refineries have to close for one reason or another. I am sick of these excuses. I guess never anything happened in the years before.
