I'm Tom
0:01
you wanted me to put a watch in the face
0:04
and of course I mean I'm nosy
0:07
I went online and I googled and watch and I remember like sending my sister to text and
0:12
I just put a watching the safe for my boss and it was eighty thousand dollars
0:17
and
0:19
I like watches too
0:21
but I don't have those kind of punches
0:24
the amount of jewelry
0:25
was in excess of three million dollars
0:28
they bought so many watches from Dubai
0:30
World of when I went to get their records they were like actually we still have two watches in the vault that they never picked up
0:37
so it's like a hundred thousand dollars they just left sitting in the safe and pull for
0:41
multiple years
0:44
some of the things that you saw that they had Vault was just crazy
0:48
his main home here in Corsicana I think
0:50
comes out a little bit less than two hundred thousand dollars and appraised value
0:54
but his New Mexico home was worth three quarters of a million dollars
0:58
okay
0:59
bought a
1:00
a Jaguar
1:02
a new Jack walk
1:04
they had many many Lexus
1:07
Mercedes
1:08
Seneca Jenkins spent approximately two million dollars at school Lexus
1:15
the joke that I heard from the
1:17
zoo employees was that
1:19
they bought cars as frequently as people get oil changes
1:26
Sandy
1:27
had this plane
1:28
that he would take almost every weekend
1:31
he would
1:32
fly somewhere
1:33
and it cost him
1:35
50 thousand dollars
1:37
at Chet probably has
1:38
20 thousand dollars worth of fuel cost that comes with it
1:42
they were flying everywhere
1:44
going to the Caribbean
1:45
going to Napa Valley all the time went to Napa Valley to buy all that wine cases of and bring it back
1:52
they actually
1:54
hired a private jet to fly them from Corsicana de Austin to go to lunch
1:59
it was like an eight thousand dollar lunch
2:02
they flew
2:03
two hundred twenty three times over I think a ten year period so they spent 3.2 million dollars
2:09
on private jets
2:10
and then we found out
2:12
about their nicknames with Neiman Marcus
2:15
fruit cake and
2:17
I think cupcake or something like that yeah
2:20
nicknames
2:21
I mean that's
2:23
that's
2:23
amazing
2:26
to achieve Prada Louis Vuitton purses and on prefers
2:31
one thing that I learned from interviewing the personal shopper there
2:36
was that at one point she just ran out of things to sell them
2:39
which I thought was pretty hard to do in your
2:41
office
2:42
they spent eleven million dollars on the black Amex over
2:46
an eight-year period
2:48
I think it was like a hundred twenty thousand dollars a month
2:51
whereas Sandy was making fifty thousand dollars a year
2:58
because house and he's spent money
3:01
I remember
3:02
asking someone
3:03
are you sure
3:04
you know he didn't win the lottery
3:06
we
3:07
often scratched our head about how this
3:10
how is he financing these
3:12
junkets off in the jet
3:15
we just
3:15
never could figure it out
3:19

3:21
is my husband and I would like to
3:24
split a villa with them in Italy
3:27
I said I work for con Street Bakery and I can't afford that
3:32

3:35
was it
3:36
if you're a guy that's making
3:38
you know fifty thousand dollars a year
3:41
and taking 25 thousand dollar week trips out to Napa Valley
