A chromed replica of Wall Street’s iconic “Charging Bull” is headed to the auction block.
The statue is being auctioned off along with other goodies once owned by by the disgraced late military contractor David H. Brooks. The Long Islander died in federal prison while serving time for insider trading.
Some of his former possessions will be available at live auction Friday, according to a release from the US Marshals Service.
Also up for sale: pieces of the Brooks’ family’s jewelry, pricey watches and 3,500 Krugerrands.
The live auction kicks off at 11 a.m. at the New York Hilton Midtown. Bidders must put down a $500 deposit to participate in the paddle battle, while online bidders will have to plunk down a $5,000 deposit by 5 p.m. Thursday to participate at txauction.com.
Registration and pre-bidding opened Wednesday.
The 61-year-old Brooks founded and ran DBH Industries, which would become the largest supplier of bulletproof vests to the US military following 9/11.
He was convicted in 2010 of a $200 million theft and stock-fraud scheme.
