Tennis legend John McEnroe was duped in a high-flying $88 million art investment scam by Lawrence Salander. Adjusting for inflation, that's a staggering $129 million (£101m) sting.
The scheme lasted from 1994 to 2007, with Salander luring investors to pay for ownership shares in works of art. McEnroe lost $2 million ($2.9m/£2.3m today) after investing in a half-share in two paintings.
