OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (AP) — A fleet of expensive cars and motorcycles seized from a Kansas City-area accountant has sold for more than $1.4 million. See all the vehicle here.

The U.S. Marshals Service announced the results of last week’s auction on Wednesday. The Kansas City Star reports that more than 700 bidders from 30 states participated.

The machines that were sold had belonged to Thomas Hauk, who defrauded more than $4 million from clients. Hauk, of Overland Park, Kansas, awaits sentencing after pleading guilty last December to federal fraud charges linked to his on-the-job theft at a financial services company.

The highest winning bid at the auction was $285,000 for a 2006 Ford GT.  A Ford Mustang Cobra Jet, Ferrari 430 Scuderia, Mosler MT900S and McLaren 12C were also among the vehicle available.

Most of the money raised during the auction at KCI Auto Auction in Kansas City, Missouri, will be returned to the theft victims.
