Kosmas Ballis's likeness of "Clark Rockefeller." The likeness of the Criminal Formerly Known as Clark Rockefeller could be staring at your naked body within 22 and 29 business days. Kosmas Ballis, a Fort Myers, Florida sculptor, has cast 1,000 porcelain bathroom tiles emblazoned with the likeness of Boston's supercriminal Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter, and he's selling them on Ebay for $20 a pop. The silhouette depicts CFKCR's trademark 3/4 askance leer, which makes Bostonist very, very uncomfortable.
The Herald reports that "interest in the conversation pieces is coming from a surprisingly 'upwardly mobile' fan base," which we guess sounds about right. The Old Money has disavowed the fake Rockefeller for months now.
