In 1978, Site Selmen, convicted 12 times for fraud and having served 29 years, was released from prison to die of cancer under house arrest.
Selmen advertised in dozens of newspapers:
“I’m dying and can give your letter to a deceased relative for $5 , and a parcel for $15 .”
A month later he was buried with 13 coffins of letters and gifts.
He bequeathed the $2.7 million he collected this month to his daughter.
