[NYP] A Canadian man loathes his ex-wife so much, he set fire to more than $1 million to keep her from getting her hands on it, he told a judge.
Bruce McConville, 55, a businessman and failed mayoral candidate from Ottawa, said he sold several properties, then burned the cash.
“I find what you have done to be morally reprehensible,� said Superior Court Justice Kevin Phillips, before jailing McConville for 30 days for failing to pay $300,000 in spousal and child support.
He also ordered McConville to pay his ex a $2,000-per-day fine. |
